SPIDER DROID
Retail $9.99

Three Releases: 2002 Saga, Clone Wars, and Revenge Of The Sith (enhanced front cannon and coloring)

The Dwarf Spider Droid is a squat multi-legged droid of destruction deployed during the Battle of Geonosis. These mobile tanks typically serve the Commerce Guild in hunting down evading operatives but when the Galactic Republic engages the Separatist armies in a full-scale ground assault, Dwarf Spider Droids are deployed to counter the Republic's massive clone army. Their striding legs are ideal for the rugged terrain of Geonosis, and their crimson eyes radiate with infrared photoreceptors for targeting the enemy through dense clouds of battle.

Up through the Clone Wars the Spider Droid was enhanced and modified for other terrain. These droids have a powerful, centrally mounted laser cannon that is highly effective in battle. With their small size, they can enter mines and caves to launch surprise attacks or track fleeing enemies. Has windup walking action and a firing missile.

They were used on Kashyyyk.
