EG-05 was a droid specifically programmed to hunt Jedi[1]. EG-05 had a very high speed and was programmed to use two lightsabers with a variety of lightsaber forms.
Life[]
This droid was created as one of General Grievous's guards, but Count Dooku was furious of Grievous's defeat against a group of assault Jedi attacking his castle, so he has reprogrammed him to attack him after Kit Fisto left the castle on his fighter. As Grievous returned, EG-5 tried to decapitate him but the cyborg general quickly acted by splitting his arms and blocking the attack. As they kept fighting, a couple of magna-guards attempted to destroy EG-5, but failed because of his tornado comet spin attack. General Grievous finally ended the battle by severing EG-5's legs, picking up the droid with his arms and used his other pair of arms to decapitate him.
History[]
The rest of him now remains in Dooku's castle. General Grievous sometimes dresses up his elite Magnaguards as EG-5 so the guards have superior armor.
EG-5's programming records have been erased and added to his elite magna guard ER-72 QEF04 (also known as "Decap" for his many severe injuries).
Some people think he was wearing the armor to protect the programming chips falling out of his wound against 72-Q ripping open his chestplates.
Trivia[]
- Various screenshots show that EG-05 has the same styled feet as Grievous.
- In a screenshot from the game, this droid is labeled as EG-5 instead of EG-05. This might be an error on the publisher's part, however the name might have also been changed too.
