Day 542, Quasi-Quarantine: Cobbling Together The Annoying But Irrepressible Todo 360


A sarcastic and high-tempered techno-service droid, Todo 360 played a critical role in a number of missions supporting bounty hunter Cad Bane. The droid was intensely loyal to Bane, despite the bounty hunter's willingness to blow him up and use him as a distraction on occasion.

In three episodes on "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," Todo managed to escape from Anakin Skywalker after being rebuilt, kidnap C-3PO and R2-D2, and aid Bane in stealing a holocron from the Jedi Temple.


In a pair of "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" episodes, the droid was shot by Hunter accidentally as Bane kidnapped Omega. When Omega helped repair Todo's severed leg, it gave her a chance to deactivate him and contact the Bad Batch to let them know of her whereabouts. These events precipitated the epic battle between Bane and Fennec Shand that led to Omega's rescue.

To replicate the look and feel of Todo 360, we found an online tutorial, then added some strategic paint for eyes. The result is simple but effective, allowing us to incorporate Bane and Todo into a number of new scenarios involving the Bad Batch and Shand.
