INTRODUCTION
Separatists use OG-9 Homing Spider Droids for anti-vehicular combat, first deploying them at the Battle of Geonosis. A Homing Spider Droid is powerfully equipped with a dish-shaped laser cannon and a blaster cannon that can weaken shields, destroy armored vehicles, and decimate troops. Like their arachnid namesakes, Spider Droids move swiftly over the terrain on stilt-like legs that provide the height needed to target air and ground vehicles.

This Droid is large and is a nice addition to the Droid Army. Not only does it fire two missiles from its radar dishes, but it also has an opening hatch. When you open up the hatch you will notice that it is a cockpit. This is a Homing Spider Droid, if it has a hatch and you can put in a figure of your choice this no longer qualifies this item as a droid but a vehicle. It was just something Hasbro added in for play value.

Overall, it is a nice piece of plastic to stand in anyone Star Wars collection.
