DESCRIPTION
As the first variant of the BX Series Battle Droid developed by the Engineering department of the Gahenn Droid Foundry, the idea to make a Commando Variant of the B2-GP was the few ideas that were approved, simply due to the existence of the BX2 Supper Commando Droid. The idea was simple enough; Just take the Electrified Pincers of the B2-GP, and attach them to the BX Series, making the weapons even more useful. The designers of the droid were so sure that it would be a highly effective combat unit, they removed the Flamethrowers from the original blueprints, due to the fact they were planned to be agile support droids for the B2-GP once enough were built.
