That will teach you to tick off the devs.... "what is it that you said time and time again that you didn't want ?? An R2 with blasters strapped to his head ?? OK we can do that...."


Anyway he is kinda cute.....and there is no more confusion about the clear top thingie...he is the one with the blasters strapped to his head....lol........

More and more reason why this game isn't Star Wars Galaxies.

i especially like the dangling wires on the top. I guess thats for when it gets the starring role in a movie where the hero has to cut the red or the blue wire but is color blind.


you ever wonder if this stuff has to get approved by lucas?

Oh my.


Well, on one hand, it's actually kind of cute. And another chassis is nice.


On another hand, this is literally a DE's worst nightmare - an R2 with a blaster strapped on.


I'll withold judgement on the usefulness when I see the stats on one - but unless they are *better* than a Probot, I don't see much excitement from customers.

LOL R2's gone termenator. I agree if the HAM is not better then the Probot then it will not be much. but the bright side is that there is always someone out there maybe even in large groups that would want this new one terror.

I don't think it is so far fetched. I see this as being a Rebel creation. The rebels didn't havemuch in the way ofresources to get high-tech stuff, so they had to use ingenuity andguile to stand up to the Empire. It makes sense to me that they would retrofit old astromech units with blasters, to make up for their lack of personnel and technology to create actual battle droids like the Imperial Dark Troopers.


And as far as aStar Wars propertycoming up with an entirely new concept in the Star Wars universe, there is precedent in this regard. IIRC, Teras Kasi didn't exist until the game "Masters of Teras Kasi" was made.


Just my 2 credits.

Is this thing for real ?? Or is it some demented creation out of someone's mind that can do graphic arts really well ?? It looks like a droid made by the guy that sticks bubble gum on the vacuum leaks on his car next door to me.

Actually, it looks like a Dalek ! EXTERMINATE ! EXTERMINATE ! Watch out for the law suits

I suppose it does look like something a band of ragtag Rebels might throw together, or a DE who wants to dabble in the combat droid market while the Empire still has a ban on them. On the other hand...
