Closest the SW wiki comes looks like this droid:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SPD-R4_spider_droid

I don't think it's really a "canonical" droid, because I went ahead and looked through most of the droids pictured on Wookieepedia.

That droid was featured in the extended podracing scene of The Phantom Menace. Its function is to tow away wrecked podracer parts or perform maintenence on podracers
It was made into an action figure paired with Teemto, the Podracer. Here is a close up pick of the figure, which is similar to the one you posted:

And, here is the link to the site that calls it a maintenence spider droid (not related to the Separatists)

EDIT: Yes it's canonical, Mav's link is trustworthy.

It was also seen in the intro "movie" for Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer (at least for the pc version) picking up the remains of gasgano's podracer.

Thx guys.
Guess i will name it "Maintenance Spider Droid" until someone came up with a different proper name.

You know, when I first saw the topic name I thought you were asking us to come up with a name. I think I would have called him George if that was the case.

I thought it was like for a game show or something.

"All right, contestants, you have ten seconds... NAME... THIS... DROID!"

And I will hug him and pet him

George, the friendly Maintenance Spider Droid! Sounds like an idea for a sitcom

It´s sad but there won´t be any George on my map.
I watched the scene today and realized that the towdroids are realy huge.
Thought that they are small like the Podracer droids but they are big as vehicles.
Sorry Teancum, no George droid.

Oh really? He looks like he will hug you, a lot...gruesomely....
Looks like a facehugga droid. Probably latch on to your face and do who knows what.

I don't really have anything to offer as for a name, other than giving a clue as to it's purpose. I just saw this thing in RotS (timestamp 24:05 - 24:09), and it's shown preparing to pick up a box or crate just before Anakin asks Obi-Wan if he's coming to meet with the Senators.

Mavs idea was correct. I have a book at home with like 23 pages on droids. But still I'm not sure if it entirely correct because the eyes look different. Oh well, close enough...

Isn't this a P-100 Salvage Droid??

I'm quite sure, it is named P-100.

It is in the complete locations book of the entire sw saga...

I think......

hey, who cares, cause it is Maintenance Droid now, isn't it?
