Some people have ideas ...

And Tontus is one of them. Not happy to have offered the set 10225 SCU R2-D2, he chose to decline the astromech droid in question and to reproduce some of his colleagues with their respective colors.

This is how we find from left to right on the photo above: R2-Q2 (who was hanging on board the Devastator), R2-R9 (serving Amidala on Naboo) and R2-B1 (accompanying R2-R9 on Naboo). They are obviously largely inspired by the design of the official LEGO model, and Tontus admits to having made some adaptations of his own, in particular by changing a few parts in order to save a few dollars.

Tontus has also integrated Artifex LED kits on these droids, something that LEGO could very well have considered on the official model in order to bring a little life to the tin can in question ...

The MOCeur does not intend to stop there, and it already offers the LDD versions of its future droids, namely R5-D4 and R4-I9.
