Behind the scenes ī2-RP battle droids appear in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Īn updated model of the droid, the super battle droid rocket trooper, was later built, seeing action during the Battle of Ringo Vinda. One even attacked a LAAT/i gunship, shooting at the pilot, although the latter managed to bail. About 100 rocket droids were used to board Aayla Secura's Venator-class Star Destroyer, the Liberty, during the Sky Battle of Quell. However both managed to destroy the droids. Some droids were deployed by Juhm on Gwori to capture Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex. Late in the war, the rocket battle droids were replaced with the more advanced Super battle droid rocket trooper. To distinguish them from their more common infantry variants, they were painted with blue-white markings on their torsos, arms and legs.
These droids were equipped with a built-in jetpack.
