A.R.Ms # 11: Star Wars ROTS General Grievous Wheel Bike

This is one of those rare items I was lucky enough to get hold of. I tracked it through ebay and I was lucky enough to grab it.

The vehicle according to Wookieepedia is a Separatist ground craft called the Tsmeu-6 wheel bike. Additional info on the bike:

"It could roll on the ground at great speed, crushing enemy soldiers in its path. The legs were engaged whenever the craft needed to climb steep cliffs, especially useful on the sinkhole-filled planet of Utapau. Grievous kept several of these wheelbikes stationed at his command center there.

The driver was positioned in a seat on one side of the wheel, while an nd-53 double laser cannon occupied the other side. The bike originally had a passenger seat instead of a laser cannon, but Grievous modified the wheel bike to accommodate his needs" - source Wookieepedia

But I'm pretty sure you remember the wheel bike from Episode 3, when Obi Wan chased Grievous on Utapau.

Detail/Sculpt

The action figure that came with the wheel bike was not really what I expected. Ok...actually it sucked. They could've done BETTER!

The details on the bike are just awesome

Overall the wheel bike looks wickedly evil...

Pricing

I'd really suggest you try ebay for this item 'cos you might be lucky. But if you insist on trying other sites prepare to dish out a minimum of USD 45.

This is one of the best Star Wars vehicle I have in my collection. The details are almost close to perfect. If only Hasbro had provided a better Grievous figure.
