Grapple droid
Production information
Manufacturer Baktoid Combat Automata
Model Grapple droid
Class Battle droid
Technical specifications
Height 1.93 meters
Sensor color Red
Armament Electrified pincers (built-in)
Chronological and political information
Era(s) Rise of the Empire era

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.
Following the deaths of the members of the Separatist Council by Darth Sidious's new apprentice, Darth Vader, these units were de-activated.
It is unknown if this was at all related to the earlier grapple battle droid.
