Star Wars Droids Special. The Astromech droids are well known throughout the galaxy, repairing starships with their retractable arms and attachments. Podpadstudios has 4 (no actually 5) of these useful droids.

Meet Zoe (cutaway turquoise R2 unit), Izzy (steampunk), CID (from Knights of the old Republic cartoon) and Emmy our R6 Droid, the first mobile droid Master Maker built.

See acc the droids in action, moving their heads, arms and eyes. Cogs whirl, water squirts, and smoke systems bubble away. Master Maker opens up Zoes head, and shows the inside working of a radio control droid. Oh yea, and Mrs Breaker builds a GNK (Gonk Droid) plant pot for her tomatoes, you have been warned. Then the droids help her plant it out……

No tomatoes were harmed during the making of this video.

    Thou hast DESECRATED the sacred GONK droid!
  • @dad2-d244
    Just discovered your video a couple of weeks ago. Truly amazing work. Especially, Zoe. I'm an R2 builder myself but your droid is truly special. Love how she is "skinless". Love the color. Love all of the unorthodox gadgets she has. Truly great work.
  • I love the design of Izzy as she looks like she is in a wheelchair. Such a wonderful idea for wheelchair bound people to see a droid like them. Great job!!!
