R2-B Minimech Droid

R2-B Minimech Droids were a model of astromech droid created by Industrial Automaton.

Appearance
R2-B units looked similar to other astromech droids, but were smaller and had oblong heads.

History
Industrial Automaton was looking to make a home model of astromech droid meant for children, so they created the R2-B Minimech droid. Each minimech had various utensils and learning programs built into them to help children learn more about the world around them. They also had an internal database of over 50 million Children's games to help children develop motor skills. R2-B units were also found in nurseries or preschools, helping teachers to interact with children.

Trivia

 * The R2-B minimech droid is based on an unidentified astromech droid from Star Wars Droids, and is referred to as a "Baby R2 unit" in the concept art.
