Colicoids are known for their completely unfeeling and murderous ways, and Colla IV has been embroiled for many years in diplomatic disputes related to the death and consumption of visitors to the system.

Unlike the lightly built battle droids, every part of the droideka is heavy alloy or armor plate, making the machine a fearsome specter that cuts down soldiers by the dozen with ease.

Droidekas are another type of battle droid seen in the films.
The Droidekas sometimes have limited speech abilities(as seen in Episode III, when they said to Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi on the Invisible Hand: 'Nobodymovenobodymove') and their gender would be male or female depending on their programmings, which similar to the battle droids, but those droids speak in Droid language.
Although a lot of Droidekas were not shown in multiple numbers in the movies (mainly Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith), they were still mass-produced (as high as Super Battle Droids) with shields and anything else needed to build a Droideka.

 Battle droid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Droidekas used their shield generators in the prequel movies The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith to protect themselves.
The Droideka can fire up to 240 dual blasts a minute (unless their system for their blaster arms features overheating) making it virtually impossible for enemy infantry to defeat a squad of them in good time (even if they aren't shielded).
A Droideka made a rare post-prequel era appearance in Survivor's Quest, where it proved a formidable opponent for Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade.

The Trade Federation uses droidekas aboard its starships for security, as well as on ground during combat operations.

This is a mini-fig scale Droideka that, unfortunately, cannot currently be (completely) made because LEGO hasn't made all these pieces in all the needed colors.

 Star Wars: Battlefront review for the PS2
The droids get the Droideka rolling assault-bot and rebels get durable Wookie smugglers, while the Republic and Empire forces may access different brands of jet-pack soldier.
For example, the Droideka can move to a position at a relatively high speed, then stop, turn on its shields, and let loose with its cannons.
The Empire jet-pack soldier, by contrast, is like a human flea: he can bounce into a fight, deliver some thermal detonators, and then boost clear.

The droideka in question was a standard manufacture Destroyer, who had no CPU of his own, and relied as other battle droids did, on central control from a Trade Federation starship central brain.
The lone "destroyer" recovered from the wreck was rebuilt with parts from the other droidekas and other droids, both battle and others, retooled as a multi-purpose droid, and was given circuits and accessories so that it could do much more than just shoot guns and do security work.
And its true, he can fight like a droideka, delivering heavy firepower with shielding to back it up when needed.

Basically you need to fold the forearm guns inward using both sets of elbow joints, and then fold each shoulder bar down until they meet in front of the sternum (this step is very difficult to see in the pictures and unfortunately requires a substantial amount of force to get those shoulder joints moving.
The first one is that the "head" of the Droideka is mounted on a little sliding bar that allows it to extend about 1 cm out from the head-shell, to make it look like it does on the 3" figure.

However, you're correct: A heavy repeating blaster's 4d8 points of damage would destroy a droideka after just a few hits, even after subtracting DR, and such low shield DR begs the question of why Jedi don't simply attack with their lightsabers.
Raising or dropping shields is a free action, but you cannot raise and drop shields in the same round.
