The R4-series Astromech Droid is a popular line of astromech droids designed as a simpler and tougher option in their R-series product line for Outer Rim urbanites who need help in their garage and not as starfighter co-pilots. It is designed with a conical dome head, with a cylindrical core in addition to a base, retractable tread leg, and two main legs. It has multiple appendages and attachments within its compartments customized to its role, also having a periscope equipped with a probe feature that is usable should they travel into space. The model saw use by the Press Corps of the Galactic Empire as courier droids to physically transport data.
This basic memory upgrade provides additional computing power to this R4-series Astromech Droid, allowing it to perform complex analytical operations at a marginally faster rate than before.
R4-D8 "Radiate" has been painstakingly cared for, and even upon close examination it appears as though R4-series Astromech Droid was freshly off the manufacturing line. Absent of any scratches, dents or even the slightest imperfections, the only thing missing is the new droid smell.
R4-D8 "Radiate" has developed a personality revolving around analytics with no room for imagination. This results in a myriad of statistics and rules of logic being delivered routinely. Such a personality can be grating on others, and often is greeted with annoyance.
