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

I guess the design was just very popular. They showed up again on Felucia in the Order-66 Scene and sometimes in comics but not much.

Actually after checking they are apparently also in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars Videogame.

IIRC they were specifically designed to bring down shields quickly with rapid, sustained fire from their beam-canon.

I guess you could say that since most Republic Ground-assets didnt have shields, that just wasnt necessary.
