- Grievous is a Separatist general in Star Wars.
General Grievous has trained in the art of lightsaber combat the Jedi. He is skilled in several unorthodox fighting techniques, such as a "furious four-lightsaber assault", and has used these skills to cut down several Clone Troopers. Now, Grievous changes into Wheel Bike mode to hunt and destroy Commander Cody and the remaining Dark Jedi.[1] He is the leader of the Separatist army, which apparently has lots of droids.[2] We're repeatedly told that he's much-feared Jedi warrior, and he is guarded by his personal bodyguards, the MagnaGuards.[3]
Toys
Star Wars Transformers
- General Grievous / Wheel Bike (2006)
- Accessories: Missile, gun, 2 lightsabers (green & blue), General Grievous figure
- Grievous transforms into a Wheel Bike, equipped with a laser cannon and a side-mounted cockpit. He can store his two lightsabers behind his back and between the half-wheel kibble.
- Like all the initial Star Wars toys, the toy includes a tiny figure of the actual character, who can sit in the pilot's seat to operate the vehicle form.
Crossovers
- General Grievous to Grievous Starfighter (Star Wars, 2008/2009)
- Accessories: Missile, 2 lightsabers (green & blue)
- As the name suggests, this version of General Grievous transforms into his own starfighter. It comes with two lightsabers, one green and one blue, and a hand-held blaster with spring-loaded missile. The blaster doesn't fit in either of his hands very well, and it can't be stored anywhere while Grievous is in robot mode. While the arms and legs have excellent articulation, his waist is held in place due to the large amount of kibble connected at the waist locking into his back during transformation. His head can turn from side to side. Like all of the Crossovers figures, it does not come with a pilot mini-figure, but still has an opening cockpit with space for one, specifically the Grievous mini-figure from the previous mold of the character.
- This toy was first available in 2008 in blue and white packaging, and was later re-released in 2009 in new red and white packaging that also adds an apostrophe to the toy's name, making it "Grievous' Starfighter".
- General Grievous to Grievous' Starfighter (2011)
- Part of the first wave of a smaller, simpler class of Crossovers toys, this new Grievous mold also transforms into his personal starship. In starship mode, his landing gear are permanently extended. In robot mode, it features a simpler transformation and is the first transforming Grievous to have four arms, each armed with a retractable lightsaber. Due to his transformation, the arms share a common upper arm. Because of his retractable lightsaber gimmick, Grievous doesn't have real hands—only barely noticeable sculpted detail at the end of his arms. He features a panel on his chest (one that is similar to the ones found on class III Darth Vader/Anakin's turbine cannons) which flips up to act as a handle for class III figures to hold him in ship mode as a weapon (though it ends up just looking like he's just holding a starfighter).
