- Thanks to the long-range sensors in the droids, it can cover a large area and scan continuously to go to the area where these droids are most needed.
- Due to the processor and memory crystal, it contains, they are docile, able to adapt to different environmental and combat effects to be even more efficient in the designated area and situation and they are able to pass this on to the other members of Wolfpack.
- With this version, all of the droids can act as droid controllers, i.e. it can control the entire Wolfpack members if necessary. In addition, all of them are able to maintain a continuous "hive consciousness" that allows all droids to receive the positions of others at the same time, so the Wolfpack can move and work in a coordinated manner without disturbing each other in combat.
- Each droid has a firewall, which makes it difficult to hack them.
- Of the Wolfpack, all of the droids have a Droid control program that allows them to control the other droids that are assigned to it.
- All of the droids have a Gabonna memory crystal that allows them to store countless military strategies and the information gathered, which is immediately processed and transmitted to the right place.
- All of the droids can be controlled by HPI biochip it means they can be controlled by thoughts too if the user has such chip and the user synchronised their biochip with the droid's frequency.
- The teeth and claws of the droids are made of razor-sharp metal, so they can easily tear apart average people or soldiers with them. Not to mention their huge weight; all of which make these droids very deadly opponents.
- Last but not least, one can even ride on them if someone can stay on their backs. But since it’s made for Maw, they can also be perfect for combat mounts.
- Well Protected: They are made of good quality materials and are even protected by a shield, making them quite resistant in combat and difficult to hack because of the firewall.
- Wolfpack: Unity is strength. The members of the pack constantly form a hive-mind with each other and are able to coordinate their attack in a masterful manner and wreak much more havoc in a group. Although they are much tougher than their predecessors, they thrive even on their own.
- Quick: Their size can be deceptive, as these droids are not sluggish and slow, they are able to move fast so they can travel long distances in a very short time.
- Stealth: Thanks to the Skuggalegt polymer layer, it is very difficult to detect these droids via scanners or sensors until they start to open fire or do not come into visual contact.
- Repair: Thanks to the Dral Kayatr, the droid is able to repair itself.
- Quadrupedal: They are only able to move on the ground, which makes it difficult for them to move and progress in certain and difficult areas.
- Low Resistances: They have minimal protection against corrosive or acid materials and attacks; and the sonic based attacks also damage their systems easily.
- Radiation: Radiation, especially radioactive, or the background radiation of the space is extremely dangerous. It doesn’t damage or damage the droid’s frame itself; it destroys its electrical systems. And let’s face it, it’s uncomfortable if the droids are shutting down in a radiant environment because their systems are burned out due to the radiation.
- Imperfect Stealth: They can easily deceive average sensors and are invisible to them, but high quality (for example military grade or too modern) sensors and scanners can detect the droids. But even so, it is difficult to perceive and notice them but far not impossible.
- Repair: Although the Dral Kayatr and thus the droid are able to regenerate, however it can easily get too much damage that this metal can no longer repair anymore. Because the metal can be damaged so that regeneration is no longer effective, not to mention the regeneration is a slow process, in battle this is useless.
These droids are an improved version of the previous highly successful Valdr Skær-Pattern Dual-Role Droid. Those droids were made for the open market, so they weren’t nearly as deadly and brutal. In contrast, the SHT-86 "Malm-hrið" Heavy Battle Droid is deliberately designed to be deadly and brutal and awaken fear and dread in the heart of the Maw's enemy.
Again, it was Mercy who visited Pride on Terraris to get a new series of droids for the Scar Hounds Tribe led by
The Mongrel
. One that is great to use on the battlefield, awakens fear in the enemy’s heart, and can do vast damage to enemy lines. And, of course, it was also important to make them easier and cheaper to replace them than the loss of the manpower; that is, they sacrificed these in the battles rather than tribe members.However, these war droids are extremely resilient and rugged. It is larger, more resilient than its predecessor, and the problem that only one droid can lead a pack has been eliminated. Here, every droid is considered alpha. They share information through a common communication channel, making them even more efficient and brutal. Their software is also more modern and efficient than the old ones'.
They actually fit the Pride perfectly, and so does the Maw. And because of their size, the more adept individuals and tribe members can even ride these dreadful beasts, which, unlike the previous version, can thrive on the battlefield on their own. They have a huge weight, sharp teeth and claws, and mini blaster cannons in their eyes. They are essentially great to use alone or as a team, but against any enemy, probably even against Force users.
They will probably be great additional units to the Scar Hounds Tribe on the battlefield.
Not least, the war droids are also available to individual buyers through the HPI Consortium's marketplace.
