* WouldHurtAChild: Yes, there are no innocent Jedi! I kill Padawans and younglings like the scum they are. I also killed the children among the Nightsisters.

* MIssedHimByThatMuch: During most of the Clone Wars, I never encountered Anakin, even though we were involved with the same battles. When I finally met him on Coruscant, I was shocked that he was just a boy!

* The Rival: When we both served Dooku, Asajj Ventress was this to me. We competed for the position of Dooku's second-in-command, and often traded barbs in the line of duty. But Dooku realized she was pathetic and weak and left her to die. I then got the sweet satisfaction of murdering her disgusting Nightsister family, including her mother! Ventress herself got away, but I will find her soon!

* AdaptationalVillainy: The legends version of me had a tragic backstory. I was cruelly betrayed by the Republic and the Jedi as I sought to free my people from slavery. Then, I was subjected to painful cybernetic surgery against my will after a shuttle crash. Disney's version of me doesn't have this tragic backstory, and I chose my improvements!



* AxCrazy: Make no mistake, the entire Jedi Order will die by my hand, and I will take their precious lightsabers as trophies!

to:

* AxCrazy: Make no mistake, Crazy? Is it crazy that I desired the destruction of the Jedi filth? It is all I think about. The entire Jedi Order will die by my hand, and I will take their precious lightsabers as trophies!



* BadBoss: I have little patience for those flimsy B1 battle droids, nor for the Separatist leadership for that matter.

to:

* BadassNormal: There's nothing "normal" about me. But my lack of Force powers is no obstacle to destroying Jedi!
* BadBoss: I have little patience for those flimsy B1 battle droids, nor for the Separatist leadership for that matter. Dooku also tried to pull this on me by offering me up to Kit Fisto and Nahdar Vebb when he was concerned about my performance. But I proved my worthiness!



* FreudianExcuse: I only hunt the Jedi because they took the side of the Huk and allowed them to enslave my people. [[SchrodingersCanon At least, that's how I think this started.]]
* HatedByAll: The Jedi fear me because of my vendetta against them. The Republic sees me as a symbol of Separatist atrocities -- they wouldn't pursue peace as long as I was alive. Even the Separatists themselves are usually fearful and suspicious of me. But no matter -- none of them can challenge my might.



* MultiArmedAndDangerous: My cybernetic body has two arms which can split into four. This is always a great advantage to emplore against the Jedi! *laughing [[EvilLaughTurnedCoughingFit into coughing]]*

* UnwittingPawn: I have heard rumors that Sidious only treats me as this in order to further his plans to take over the galaxy, and that he is prepared to sacrifice me when I'm not needed. No matter, as long as I can destroy the Jedi filth.


Added DiffLines:

* YouHaveFailedMe: When my subordinates fail me, I do not hesitate to punish them severely. Dooku once attempted to do this to me by sending Kit Fisto and Nahdar Vebb to my home, but I defeated them handily. I must admit I'm concerned Sidious could still do this to me...But only if I don't kill him first!

* AttackAnimal: Ah, my beloved Gor. He was quite a useful guard animal. That is until that Jedi scum Fisto killed him! He will die for such an act! HAHAHAHA *cough*, *cough*, *cough*!

** KENOBI!
** Do NOT call me a droid. I am a {{Cyborg}}, nothing more! And I chose this form! I was not forced to submit to this against my will!
* BloodKnight: So long as there are Jedi to kill, I will more than happily oblige to lead the charge into battle.
* BondOneLiner: Gah-Nachkt was one of the more ... annoying aids I was forced to deal with, especially when he dared to ask for more credits for finding Skywalker's R2 unit. Once he found that droid had all of the Republic's secrets within, he demanded a bonus. [[ExactWords I gave him one.]]
* TheBrute: Kenobi once dared to accuse me of being this. Let me make myself clear: I am ''not'' Dooku's errand boy; I am the leader of the most powerful droid army the galaxy has ever seen!



* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith After I kidnapped the Supreme Chancellor]], I told Anakin Skywalker that someone with his fame would normally be older than he is. Skywalker then informed me that my height did not live up to his expectations.

* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Eeth Koth once referred to me as a coward and a murderer. It is not murder to rid the galaxy of Jedi filth! *Cough*, *cough*.



* NotInThisForYourRevolution: I care not for Dooku or the Jedi's politics! All I seek is to wipe the Jedi Order from the face of the galaxy, especially Kenobi!



* VocalEvolution: When I first appeared, I had a much more...Russian accent, according to your Earthlings. It was toned down for much later, and I have since settled on it.
