B2 grapple droid/Legends

"Alright, now I'm worried."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

Based on the B2 super battle droid model, the grapple droid was a droid model specifically designed for the Separatists' attack on Coruscant. General Grievous himself personally oversaw its modifications.



Bigger and profoundly more vicious than its predecessors, the grapple droid was equipped with electrically charged industrial pincers, which it used to crush the life from its enemies. The grapple droid excelled at close-quarters combat and its embrace was quite deadly. They proved dangerously efficient against Jedi, who, if grappled, were unable to use a lightsaber.

Grapple droids were used aboard Invisible Hand where they attempted to stop Anakin Skywalker's and Obi-Wan Kenobi's rescue of Palpatine and in addition to being used during the attack on Coruscant, took part in the Battle of Utapau.

Following the deaths of the members of the Separatist Council by Darth Sidious's new apprentice, Darth Vader, these units were de-activated.
