Description
Using parts I scavenged from a junk yard on Dantooine, I was able to fabricate myself an awesome droid.R2 Astromech body with an R4 Astromech head, equipped with two photo receptor radar eyes, I have enhanced this unit's capability while maintaining usability and function. Yes it looks like an R4 Astromech, but it's got R2 Astromech equipment and programming. With my own little touches of course.
The only problem. I don't have a name for him yet.
Enjoy.

You're right, I checked, it is an R4. But then why was Obi-Wan's droid called R4 if her head was domed?

The droids were rugged; able to shrug off the nicks and dents common to a working garage environment as well or better than other R-droids. IA was pleased to discover that, with regular maintenance checks, the R4 outlasted its design parameters for operational life, weather endurance, personality matrix stability, and time elapsed between recharge sessions.
Because of their increased durability, R4s were the preferred "mech" droids used by the Jedi. Given the interstellar nature of their work, however, most of the R4 droids purchased for the Jedi were modified to include the more expensive R2 style head. This gave them many of the best features of the R2 and R4 series. Many of these droids were further modified by mechanics in the Jedi Temple to permanently interface with the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor, until the Jedi moved on to the Delta-7B and Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor. Even so, pilots retained R4 units in the Eta-2 interceptor.

Now you see why I put R2 Components in the R4 Shell. The durability and the power range make him well. Perfect.
