R2-Q5
Imperial Astromech Droid
"R2 units specialize in starship diagnostics and repairs. However, Imperial designers consider astromechs to be unnecessary weight for their short-range TIE fighters. On the second Death Star, R2-Q5 helps maintain the station's elaborate weapons and security systems, and also services all TIE fighters and bombers." --Excerpt from the Force File
 | Sculpt--4/5 Based on the newer R2 molds, R2-Q5 is excellent but not perfect. It could have been perfect if Hasbro didn't muck up the dome on this guy. I don't know if they just put a heck of a lot of paint on it or if the mold itself is bad, but the detail on the dome is...well..."smoothed out". The "eye" in particular is the worst offender, being just a little bump. Perhaps the fact that this R2 unit doesn't have a light pipe for an eye is the problem. But still, Hasbro could have compensated. Besides the dome, everything is top-notch. Articulation--5/5 Accessories--3/5 Paint--4/5 Overall--4/5 |
