You know, that might actually be useful. For the past couple of months there's been a rattling going on in the back of my 4runner that I can't duplicate when the truck is stationary. It would be nice to have an R2 unit to send back there to lock down that loose stabilizer.

look out for the new terrorist weapon.. the R2 suicide bomb.. packed with Semtex, the R2 would wander down a mall or street.. 'hey lets all go see the R2D....BOOOOOOOM'

Get the aluminum shell model and bolt one on yourself.

That's all well and good but where do you get the dwarf to run it? I've heard you can pick up used dwarves and dwarf knock offs on ebay pretty cheap since the stock market went to hell.
