Ok. So the Clone Army of the Grand Republic is a pretty massive army.
They have the most highly trained clones, commandos, and elite specialists all cloned from the DNA of the most highly trained bounty hunter in all of the galaxy. They are a mini army of fully functioning serpentors. They got some mad tanks & weaponary.. Starships.. Armored tanks.. Turbo Tanks... AT-ST's AT-TE's AT-AT's Speeder bikes... Not to mention they are led by the jedi. Anyone else think this is a bit of overkill for some 'droids that only manage to go roger roger before they're heads fall off? And the best they can come up with is a super battle droid? Seriously? This just seems wayyyyy overweighted, like it's not even a fair fight.

i think the general idea is that there are supposed to be like 1000 droids for every clone, so it's a matter of shear attrition.
and by the 3rd movie they integrated more robust and deadly droids (I just got done watching the first season of Clone Wars, i really liked the Commando Droids they introduced there)

Yeah, the Clones are outnumbered and Droids are easier to build/replace then more Clones.
So each Clone is worth 100 Droids, but the problem is that each Clone faces 1000 Droids.

Always seemed like overkill...I wonder why they just didn't EMP the droids and do it that way.

Still eh...it always did seem like a one sided battle...even though the clones lost rookies mainly who'd run into those laser blasts......the droids just were stupid...especially when they see Jedi....

If not EMP, equip all clones with ion blasters like the Jawas use to capture droids.

The droid army was only amassed in order to provide a catalyst for a clone army, if I understand correctly. It wasn't meant to actually defeat the clone army.

hmm...
EMP ION CANNON or GIANT MAGNET all much easier to build, use, and scramble a droid army.
