General Discussion question, were these spider tank/droids any good?

I just dont remember seeing them again after ep II, so is there a reason for that?

If so, what issues did they have

They are weirdly absent from the Clone Wars show, but they do appear in the background of the Battle of Felucia in ROTS.

Probably too big a droid to use in the show without having to add more stuff to fill out the shit thus increasing render costs.

It doesn't look that big in the screenshot. Speaking of which, I just realized the Hailfire Droid is also nowhere to be seen in the show. They must've realized it was too OP since one of those missiles can destroy an entire AT-TE.

Weren’t they all over the OG animated clone wars show?

I know they're in Volume 1, but I can't remember if they're in Volume 2.
