4:56 "something is rising. Something... Sinister." Cuts to a guy happily eating fruit

1:13 He looks so proud of his work.

Fun fact: the IG-100 magnaguard was originally a prototype look for general grievous, George Lucas was specially fond of the design so he asked to keep it in some capacity

Anyone remember how much of a threat these guys were in republic commando?

2:49 notice the head flick to signify for the other droid to attack, that's a nice detail to show how tactical the ig 100 were

I just noticed that Dooku's Magna Guards has yellow light staff while Grievous' magna guards have violet. Interesting detail, I gotta say...

Image Grievous giving those droids lightsabers from his collection.

Magma droids be like: hgsghs a beloerosk I feel like they were the Death Troopers of the clone wars tbh...

4:48 it kind of sounds like the magna guard is saying “shut the f*ck up”

2:50 I just noticed that this magnaguard motioned his head to the other guard to attack first. My opinion of magnaguards just increased

0:33 that scene of the guards spinning and tossing their staffs to the two in the back is just so cool and cleanly animated

1:16 IG-100: "Yeah I did that I'm cool"

Everyone thinks these things aren't threatening but if you're not a skilled jedi you really are completely outmatched before the fight even starts.

Magna Guard at 4:45 is all like "Oooh I'm scary! (Just kidding Lord Sidious, I don't want to hurt you, Boss )"

4:21 left magna guard being a absolute showoff. Right magna guard actually being menacing.

anyone else think they just don't look as cool without the cloak?

2:25 people say grievous doesn’t have honour, but grievous actually orders his manga guards to attack when the Jedi pulled a force push up his sleeve and “broke the rules”

I can’t be the only one who gets annoyed when they get decapitated and don’t keep fighting, right? Like that’s one of their exclusive functions.

4:18 seems like Dooku was running low on his own IG-100s so he had to borrow some from Grievous.

Looks at buddy using team work 2:48

This should be a reinforcement in Battlefront 2

5:07 Ooh the noise of activation of those staves

I love how this magna guard made a sine to another one 2:48

I just love how at 1:15 he stands there like "Well, would ya look at that, job's done :D"

I like how Anakin’s fighting style has more and more aggression in it the further into the show you get. He’s fought Magnaguards enough times to display this. When he rescued R2, there was some aggression in him but he had more of a Jedi’s grace than anything. Meanwhile, in the dining room ambush, Anakin disrespectfully kicks down a cut down Magnaguard and grabs and crushes a punch with his mechanical arm in a manner that makes you swear you saw fear or intimidation in the poor shocky bastard, while on Naboo he’s more or less throwing Magnaguards around and across rooms and halls and catches Dooku by surprise more than once, making him use the Force to bring Anakin down.

I like how Kit Fisto insults Grievous calling him a coward and in the same episode he does this 1:51. Runs away. Hypocrite much?

quite silly how they nerfed both the guards and grievous so much. its almost comical seeing anakin an kenobi struggle in revenge of the sith, but just laying with them in the clone wars

@ 4:35 we see the first on-screen case of a non-energized metal resisting a lightsaber strike (before beskar on-screen in the mandalorian did) when the magnaguard blocks anakin's strike with the middle of his staff, instead of using one of the two energized ends I know in legends lore (which at the time of this show's creation was canon) they are made of phrik which is a lightsaber resistant metal, but it's still interesting to see a case of metal stopping a lightsaber on-screen during George Lucas' ownership of star wars. This scene likely slipped past his notice.

4:38 one of the most badass anakin moments

magma droids are the best droids by the seperatists

I really like their Electrostaffs. One of my MOST favorites.

These droids deserve to come into a live action story somehow the B2s in Mando looked so menacing imagine the updated technology they could use so they could have an amazing fight scene

Love how they always fight in groups. Never talk and look BADASS.

Can we just appreciate at 0:38 how anakin swoops and dodges in tien with the music, goddamn that looks so good.

"Something is rising, something sinister" *Cuts to discount dictator eating space mango*

4:57 best cut ever

Lmao I like how Dooku gives Grevious the shitty ones (purple) but keeps the good ones (yellow) for himself

4:48 "Unhand me!" "Yeah ok"

Grievous looks badass with that red cape. Wish he wore it more.

So the lesson I see here is that if you combine four Magna Guards with a skilled lightsaber combatant/Jedi killer, they can't lose. I'm particularly referring to when Eeth Koth was defeated by Grievous and when Dooku captured Anakin. Though I suppose that's mostly because it involves a single combatant fighting against five.

Anakin: defeats Grievous's Magnaguards with some but not too much difficulty rescuing R2 Also Anakin: doesn't slice a single one of Dooku's yellow Magnaguards

Oh hey a new recommendation. How many years ago was this? *20 hours ago* N- NANI?!

“This is NOT GOOD BUSINESS” Gotta love Hondo😂😂😂

Seeing them slide his chassis back together is oddly satisfying

I swear every time Obi-Wan and grievous fight it turns into an episode of Tom and Jerry

Fun fact: In ROS, the magna guards were the original design for Grievous, but Lucas went with the current design, and decided to re-use them as his bodyguards.

The MagnaGuards are some of my favorite droids in Star Wars.

Would be sick if they included them in Mandalorian S3 or the new Boba Fett show

Anakin's robotic hand at 4:37 is so cool

Bruh. Why tf did they not have them in SWBF2.

General Grievous' personal elite guard

Now imagine them with lightsaber blades at each end of their staffs. Unstoppable.

0:51 Counter clockwise form 1 Sarlaac Sweep, nice.

4:00 retribution ability from bf2

This is probably my favorite separatist droid. They have great design great skills and great weapons plus look at their voice 0:07 it's something you hear before you die

0:06 sounds like there saying understood

Out of all the goofy lightsaber choreography the parry and stab at 1:38 is so clean and realistic i love it

If Dooku or Grievous calls you insecure. Just mention that these two don't go anywhere without at least 4 magna guards.

1:29 it bothers me how easily Nahdar Vebb took them out compared to Anakin and Obi-Wan

5:19 the one droid who went "General!! :D"

Fun fact, none of the yellow eyed Manga guards ever died in the Clone Wars. (Even when they have yellow staffs like in Onderon etc. they have red eyes)

The magna guards are pretty cool in my opinion

cool that they were one of the original concepts for what grevious would look like but ended up being his bodyguards instead

I love these droids. I think their desing is so cool.

Love these droids them and commandos are my favourites

Ah Yes my favorite droid Type in star wars

You can't lie, these guys are one of the coolest gaurds ever

I love that magnegaurds are actually taught how to duel by their masters and you can see this in the difference between Dooku's magngaurds and *THE ALMIGHTY LIGHT SABER COLLECTING SPIDER* magnegaurds.

4:36 "You have a metal arm? That is awesome dude!"

I like how these are the only droids Grievous respects

The Magna Droids are the coolest droids besides the Commando Droids😍

Remember everyone, that Lego Star Wars has only had *ONE VERSION* of the Magna Guard that was ever released.

I love how there are different types of Magna Guards of course the red eyed ones, yellow ones, cloaked ones, one with a rocket launcher and you could even count the battlefront 2 ones with the explosive weapon and other gear, back then I wanted them to have the electrostaff too! But now the old bf2 magnaguard has grown on me that they stand on their own. We also have different colour action figures of them, and soon we will see the ones in Jedi Survivor which is still a mystery. 🙂

I never did understand the effectiveness of those staffs of theirs. They get plenty of hits on Jedi, but they don't seem to do any significant damage except for some mild to moderate electric burns.

The Magnaguards were the among the few things that were just as badass in the Clone Wars as they were in Clone Wars (2003)

I like the little crack sound when they activate the staff.

Imagine stumbling across a reprogrammable, repairable MagnaGaurd. You'd either have an excellent sparring partner, or something that can give common thugs a good beating.

I just realize, anytime the Magnaguards are deployed to face a Jedi there’s usually four of them, just a detail I noticed

I wish we got more yellow eye and yellow electrostaff Magna Guards.

I kinda want a short series or movie about a rogue magna guard. But then again how entertaining it would be to watch a droid being the main character. But I think it might be cool.

I like how anakin gets hurt less by them the more he gets hit by them. At the last encounter, he basically just shrugs it off.

God how I love these guys

Which we had more of these guys in the clone wars, they’re great

If there is no jedi with clones , droid can destroy all of them

I remember in battlefront 2 i was so disappointed when they only had those stupid Pistols lol

These guys had the skills of a jedi knight, not surprised separatists leaders use them as personal bodyguards but I wonder how hard and expensive was to build one to make the confederacy win the war building millions of them.

Love that one magna guard that was pleased with hi,self after blowing up the republic shuttle

I think it is fair the magnaguard step in in grievous’ fights as the Jedi have the force while grievous has his magnaguard

If general grivrous would be still alive after order 66 and fight as a team with bad batch would be cool

I love these guys!

Anikin the second time around with the Ig 100’s was like a high level character running through the tutorial section again lol.

3:43 So unnecessary but still cool

i always like how dookus cadre of guards are unquie in not just staff color but markings to

I love the one at 5:14 that’s just cruising through the battlefield chilling

One of the few droids that can hold their own against Jedi. They should have made more 😂

Both Magna guards and commando droids needed more ass kicking scenes I still want an episode around a squad of Magna guards who destroy a republic base

Remember when they were defeated in Clone Wars film by Ahsoka Tano, who was then just a mere Jedi Padawan? Droids designed to kill best of Jedi! But it's a kid show and evil droids must always lose, just like evil Stormtroopers, right?

those yellows go hard

these droids look straight out of terminator salvation

Damn yellow magna guards are so badass
