4-LOM/Legends

4-LOM was a  droid bounty hunter with an insectoid head who was hired by Darth Vader to find the Millennium Falcon.

4-LOM was working as a cabin steward on a luxury liner when trouble with his programming caused him to begin to steal from the passengers. When Jabba the Hutt became aware of 4-LOM he modified the droid to make him more dangerous. While working for the Hutts, 4-LOM was teamed with the bounty hunter Zuckuss. 4-LOM's body is similar in design to C-3PO, due to the fact that the LOM hardware was Industrial Automaton's knockoff of Cybot Galactica's 3PO series.

4-LOM and Zuckuss were two of the bounty hunters contracted by Darth Vader to find Han Solo, although they abandoned their search for Solo to assist the Rebel Alliance.

After the Battle of Hoth, Zuckuss and 4-LOM rescued the last transport, Bright Hope. They later decided to leave the Empire's service and join the Rebels, planning to start the New Republic's Bounty Hunter Guild. However, these plans were dashed when Boba Fett blew 4-LOM apart. Even though Zuckuss repaired his partner, 4-LOM never remembered the Rebels' ideals. From that point on, 4-LOM worked alone.

4-LOM was armed with a DLT-19 concussion rifle, a blaster pistol and a stun-gas blower.

Behind the Scenes
There was some confusion as to which character is Zuckuss and which is his partner 4-LOM due to their names being switched on their Kenner action figures, but later sources cleared up the discrepancy. Some fans theorize that 4-LOM is an acronym for "For Love of Money", although no known source supports this claim.
