A Droideka, also known as a Destroyer Droid, is a LEGO Minifigure in the Star Wars LEGO theme. They were not made in the usual style of Minifigures, but made of many different parts.
Background
Droidekas were used by the Trade Federation and later the Confederacy of Independent Systems to match their strongest enemies, including Jedi. They were used since the creation of battle droids, but were fewer in number since each had the ability to activate a shield generator and shoot rapid-fire blasts, and as a result were more expensive to manufacture.
In addition to being able to deploy blaster shields and repeater blasters, droidekas were able to roll into spheres to move across the battlefield faster. Their shield generator could only be penetrated by slow moving objects, so blaster shots would be deflected.
They were then part of the Galactic Empire after the deactivations of the droids.
Notes
- In the game LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, the older model of the Droideka is seen instead of the 2007 version.
- In LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, is the 2007 version.
Variations
In 2002, the first version was released in two different sets, including 7163 Republic Gunship and 7203 Jedi Defence I.
In 2007, the second version was released in the set 7662 Trade Federation MTT. This new version included a smoother design and red-brown pieces.
In 2011, it was viewed through preliminary box art for late 2011 LEGO Star Wars set that a third version was released in the set 7877 Naboo Fighter.
There was also a Technic version of the Droideka.
