Custom red battledroid figure inspired by the movie character

After the events of Episode 1 the rights of the Trade Federation have been heavily curtailed, its trading licenses coercived, so its funds became very low, almost depleted. The war however was not over, so new money sources were needed, to maintain the existing armaments, and to upgrade them further. Maybe this is why Darth Sidious chose Count Dooku as his new apprentice, since the rich noble had the needed money, which he could invest into the Separatist army, which was needed to be reformed, modernized, and strengthen. Dooku not only gave his money, but also gave his talent and his dynamic leadership for the new army. After the charismatic Dooku took the lead, and proved to be a great war lord, dozens of systems joined their cause, forming a separatist organization. Passel Argente brought the Corporate Alliance to the Seps, this is how the Corporate Alliance Tank got to the Separatist Army for example. And joined the Intergalactic Banking Clan (lead by San Hill), joined the Techno Union (lead by Wat Tambor), joined the Commerce Guild (lead by Shu Mai), and many other fractions, organizations, (such as the Quarren Isolation League), planets, and systems, who wished to go separate ways that the Republic gone. From this point not only the Trade Federation faced the Republic, but a bunch of systems, who founded a new organization, the CIS, which stands for Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Separatists became stronger than ever. They started to modernize and to upgrade the droid army. Brand new vehicles were developed, spider walkers, trifighters, cruisers, battleships, (one had an ion cannon weapon, too!), vulture bombers, super tanks were built. Also, the droid army got some upgrades, and totally new members. Super battle droids for example were new and more powerful droids, which were produced from this point. Also, the basic battle droids were upgraded, they became more accurate, more clever, faster, and more independent, but these new CIS battledroids were painted red. The CIS changed the brownish yellow color of the old Trade Federation droids and vehicles, and repainted almost everything with its new blue and white color, and painted its new spider web like sign on some of its new droids and vehicles. This new image differentiated the new CIS army from the old Trade Federation army significantly. The first appearance of the red droids were seen in the Clone Wars cartoon, where several of them fought against the clones and the Jedi. During the Clone Wars other new droids have been made and applied, which were never seen before, such as commando droids, tactical droids, aqua droids, and a special new SBD class with a jetpack, which were able to fly. The CIS had several droid factories, but the red battle droids were made in the Geonosis droid factory. The huge complex was just pouring out the new droids from its long assembly lines. Thousands of droid units were standing on the lines partly assembled, and thousands were ready to be deployed.

When Obi-wan Kenobi got to Geonosis following Jango Fett, he was shocked after witnessing the huge droid army, knowing that the Jedi Order is not enough to face this huge threat. After he warned the Order, Kenobi was captured, and after Anakin and Amidala travelled to Geonosis to free him, they were also captured. In the meantime, an automatic assembling mechanism decapitated the clumsy C-3PO, and his head was attached on a red droid torso. But the annoying C-3PO's torso went on, and wandered on an assemble line, stood between two red droids, so the robot mechanism assembled a droid head on his body. With this accident, both C-3PO parts were conscripted into the army of CIS.

When the Jedi reinforcement lead by Mace Windu arrives to the Geonosis arena the gates of the arena open wide, and red battle droid regiments run into arena lead by Super battledroids. A deadly battle erupts, and the red droids launch an irresistible charge against the Jedi, who are well trained, knows the power of the Force, and yet, despite they protect themselves with their lightsabers, they fall one by one. They can not do too much, they cannot win. Only the tenth of their number remain alive in the horrible droid fire. Two of the fighting droid squadrons the C-3PO parts are fighting alongside with the droids, but both parts means a shame for the red droids because of their stupid speech, and weird behavior. One fellow droid in the droid line looks at his stupid fellow droid, and can not understand why is the crazy team member behaves so irregular. If a droid had a face, we could possibly see a shocked face on the droid head. With or without C-3PO, the droid army overwhelms the Jedi, they are helpless. First, because these new red battle droids are much better then the earlier droids. Second, the CIS spent so much money on the new army that can be noticed now. Third, there are so many droids, no matter if a Jedi destroys a hundred, the next one manages to kill the Jedi. But there are several times more droid, than a hundred, so if Master Yoda wouldn't arrived with the kaminoan clone army, with a bonus armaments (Republic Gunships, AT-TEs, speeder bikes, and other vehicles), then the Jedi would possibly fade away here on Geonosis.

The red droids formed a similar, but more efficient droid army then the earlier Trade Federation droid army. Until the CIS business went well, and could afford the war, their army was equivalent to the GAR, and a worthy foe to the clone army. When they were rich, and they made droids and vehicles in mass quantities, they were even better then the clones gaining victories over them, making the clones retreat in several systems.
