R2-HV2 and his batchmates were designed for the shipyards at Chandrila, for scaling the complicated scaffolding for the capital ships, a job requiring more humanoid agility that the standard Astromech design could provide. And Industrial Automaton was not going to lose out on that contract to those chuckleheads at Publitechnic or Cybot Galactica. And the R2-HVs were a wild success, almost halving hyperdrive production times.

Head is SW R2-D2. The rest of the body is a Loyal Subject super deformed GI Joe Blowtorch figure. The pack is from a Fortnite Visitor figure and the welding torch is a odoscope from a Dr. Barbie playset.
