Its primary weapon was a long blaster cannon which be used in a rapid-fire mode or as a high intensity blast that had a reduced rate of fire. Spider droids were deployed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in several battles, such as during the Battle of Kashyyyk, and the First Battle of Geonosis. This variant is very similar in design to the brown variant, but the legs have been redesigned and feature hinge pieces rather than robot arms. It is very similar to the previous brown version, but is made up of grey parts. In 2013 a new, grey version of the Spider Droid was released with 75016 Homing Spider Droid. This version of the Spider Droid has transparent red eyes. There is a black gun at the front with a long barrel attached below the head area, and the legs are joined onto the body by a black octagonal piece. The configuration of these legs gives the droid more movement than was available in the original variant. There are four brown legs made from robot pieces present in the Exo-Force theme, and also used for MagnaGuard arms, and dark grey pieces commonly used as Battle Droid bodies are used as feet. In this version, an antenna is present on top of the head, and the top section of the head is built out of a brown 'ball' that can move. In 2008, a brown variant of the droid was released. The spider droid has four legs with grey feet.

Also, a laser gun is present in the body area which faces forward, and can be moved up and down. Behind the head is a black antenna, which is connected via a clip at the back of the head area. The original blue variant had a light blue head, and there is a grey phone piece with two transparent orange studs at the end of the piece connecting onto the head, representing eyes.
