    R2-D2 Caught In Transformers 2

    ILM Special effects supervisor Scott Farrar said that R2-D2 had a cameo in Transformers 2. My bet was that he was behind Megan Fox's ass at one point, giving her a back rub. With his special back vibrating thingapparatus. Updated. More »

    R2-D2 Appears in Transformers 2

    Apparently Industrial Light and Magic is now inserting R2-D2 in every single movie they make. Before it was Star Trek, and according to film's visual-effects supervisor Scott Farrar, now it is Transformers 2: More »

    The iPhone-Controlled R2-D2

    For now, it's only the head in a custom-made R2-D2, but soon the whole astromech will obey the orders of an iPhone, including the possibility of firing sounds and send text to its head displays. More »

    R2-D2 Battalion Dances In Preparation to Earth Invasion

    I don't know why people insist on assembling massive robot armies, even if they are R2-D2. Sure they are cute dancing, but one day they will get fed up and kill us all. [starwarsblog]

    R2-D2 Aquarium With Radar Eye Periscope

    Now you can add "fish tank" along side "beverage cooler" and "projector" on the long list of job titles R2-D2 has had in his post-acting career. But rest assured that no matter what his occupation happens to be, R2 has a strong work ethic. In addition to housing your fish, he will rotate his head and utter his trademark bleeps with any voice command. He also features overhead LED tank lights that rotate colors and a periscope built-into his radar eye for spying on the fish floating in his robo-belly. On the downside, R2 never works cheap—this beauty will set you back $130. [Hammacher Schlemmer via TFTS via Geekalerts]
