The Clone Wars
Wave 5
Clone Wars #33
AAT Driver Battle Droid

Accessories
The battle droid comes with a blaster, missile launcher, and missile.

Look and Feel
The paint apps on this figure at dead on to the battle droid that was seen in the episode "Ambush". The sculpt of the figure is also dead on, but (sorry for sounding like a broken record) when will Hasbro use better plastic for the battle droids! I am sick and tired of them falling over because of gravity!

Articulation
Hasbro really cheaps out on the articulation for some of the Clone Wars figures, but in this case I agree with not giving this figure a lot of leg articulation. By not putting in any it creates a more stable battle droid leg. I also like the way that they give him a slightly standing stance. The battle droid does feature some ball-hinged joints in the hips, shoulders, and neck. He also has hinged elbows and a swivel torso.

Overall Reaction
I pretty much bought this figure to push me over the $20 mark so that I could use a $5 off coupon. So basically I paid $1 for him and $6 for the others. At that price he isn't that bad and will add depth to my scenes that have battle droids in them. Like the Tank Gunner, I do not have the vehicle for this figure and won't buy one unless I find it at a deep discount, but he does look good getting chopped down by my Jedi on the Geonosis shelf.
