DTS-series Dismantler Droids, or simply dismantler droids, were a type of droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton and used by the Galactic Empire for dismantling BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bombers at Reklam Station.
Chopper caught in the grip of a dismantler droid.
During the early rebellion's mission to Reklam Station, three of the dismantlers were activated by Sabine Wren during their flight. One of the droids were destroyed by the Phantoms laser cannon, another by Rex's blaster pistol, and the third was hit by a lightning storm. However, the last one survived and later attacked and damaged Chopper. The droid attacked Sabine and Zeb, nearly killing them until Rex came to their aid, smacking the droid with a nearby crane arm. He almost pushed it over the edge until the droid attacked with its flamethrower. The old clone then shoved the droid into a crevice, jamming it in and shooting it, heavily damaging it. The captain pushed the droid into Yarma's lightning storm and destroyed it.
Dismantler droids were equipped with blasters, strong mechanical claws, high-power flamethrowers, and a razor cutter under their claws. They were resilient and could survive several blaster shots.
