The R2-series astromech droid was a model of astromech droid produced by Industrial Automaton, boasting a level of success that was never equaled in Industrial Automaton's long history. A combination of excellent design, high-quality marketing, and good timing made this astromech droid one of the most sought after droids in history, and one of the few vintage astromech series still in active production decades after it was first designed, including the prototype R2-0. The line was so successful, even being given a positive review by Mechtech Illustrated for its versatility,[1] that the Galactic Empire would later take credit for the design. The average cost for an R2 unit was about 4245 Republic Credits. https://www.amazon.com/shop/omegaordained Check out my Awesome new Sci Fi Store!!
