The Tahnok have this in the bag. They can and will burn right through the Droideka, and are more efficient combat units. Plus, the Droideka do not, in fact, have flamethrowers. The Bohrok technically don't either, but as firey enemies, they use fire. With fire. Also, they are faster and more durable, allowing them to take more punishment and outmove the Droid foes.
