The R2-series Astromech Droid is a popular line of astromech droids designed to fit in the droid socket of any starfighter. It is commonly designed with a domed or tapered code head, with a cylindrical core in addition to a base, retractable tread leg and two main legs. It has multiple appendages and attachments within its compartments, such as shock prods, welding torches, and is equipped with a holoprojector and a periscope that has a probe function which is usable in space.
R2-K9a Maddog has had every external component painted black as night, with attempts to minimize the brightness of external lights and features. This allows this R2-series Astromech Droid to more easily blend into the shadows and darkness unseen.
R2-K9a Maddog has received advanced automated repair programming based on the original R2-series Astromech Droid schematics, giving it an ability to perform or assist in the performance of self-diagnosis and self-repair of its mechanical systems. This system engages automatically upon damage, and can render the droid temporarily unavaialble while it assesses any necessary repairs before further action can be taken.
R2-K9a Maddog has developed a predatory nature similar to those often associated with assassin droids. As a result, R2-K9a Maddog will often approach a situation with the mind set of a hunter, and convey their findings as such. This can be disconcerting to others who are unaccustomed to R2-K9a Maddog.
