The R4-series Astromech Droid is a popular line of astromech droids designed as a simpler and tougher option in their R-series product line for Outer Rim urbanites who need help in their garage and not as starfighter co-pilots. It is designed with a conical dome 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 customized to its role, also having a periscope equipped with a probe feature that is usable should they travel into space. The model saw use by the Press Corps of the Galactic Empire as courier droids to physically transport data.
R4-B3 has had every external component painted black as night, with attempts to minimize the brightness of external lights and features. This allows this R4-series Astromech Droid to more easily blend into the shadows and darkness unseen.
A basic toolkit has been integrated into R4-B3, allowing it to perform easy or small repairs on other droids and technology
R4-B3 has had additional memory installed that increases its computing power. This allows it to perform complex analytical operations at a marginally faster rate, but limits the ability to further customize the R4-series Astromech Droid in any other way.
