The SD-K4a mini-assassin droid,[1] also known as the probe killer, or the mini-assassin probe,[4] was a model of assassin droid manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata.[1] Spider-like,[4] the tiny, six legged droids could be carried inside the small pits on the head of the larger SD-K4 assassin droids.[2]
Description[]
Tiny, 0.14 meter-wide,[1] six-legged droids, SD-K4a mini-assassin droids manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata[1] used their speed to avoid blaster fire, and while they did not possess the power of the "parent" assassin droid, however, if they could enter a target's armor, they were capable of killing said target with their sharp legs. A single assassin produced in excess of thirty killers, which swarmed together in order to overcome larger opponents.[5]
Behind the scenes[]
The probe killer first appeared in "Voyage of Temptation,"[2] the thirteenth episode of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' second season, which originally aired on February 5, 2010. They were first identified in the episodic guide for "Voyage of Temptation."[6]
