TSMEU-6 personal wheel bike


Characteristics


Wheel bike control panel.

Wheel bike control panel.

The military vehicle's steering controls are housed in an illuminated, touch-sensitive console that has been strengthened to withstand Grievous' keen metal fingertips. The color perception of Grievous' species, the Kaleesh, eyesight is changed in the console graphic display. The wheel bike was a descendant of the InterGalactic Banking Clan's hoop-wheeled Hailfire droids, which are designed to roll at intimidating speed on hard surfaces. The seat's unnecessary soft padding has been removed, and its place has been taken by magnetic panels that hold Grievous' metallic body to the vehicle. The bike had four retractable legs that allowed it to climb steep inclines and was armed with a double laser cannon. Grievous can wield either a conveniently placed electrostaff, a blaster, or one of his Jedi lightsabers trophies when he rolls into battle. It proved popular in mining areas, as it facilitated long-distance underground travel over a variety of terrains.

History


General Grievous used a wheel bike during the Confederacy of Independent Systems's invasion of Utapau. Sometime later, the Confederacy had at least three TSMEU-6s in their possession inside of a modified core ship on Utapau. Grievous used one of these during the Battle of Utapau.
