The BD-unit Backpack Droid is a small bipedal droid designed to assist with research and exploration in remote and dangerous locations. It has a flat rectangular head with two photoreceptors, a small body, and two legs with clampable feet, allowing it to climb a person's body or other surfaces and traverse many different kinds of terrain . It is equipped with various tools; including a holocam and holoprojector, computer link, and a spotlight.
BD-R3 "Beater" has had the vast majority of its external components painted a matte black finish. Several parts and access panels have been painted a deep royal purple as accents, and it's optical sensor color adjusted to match. While the dark coloration helps keep the droid difficult to see in low light conditions, once spotted, there can be no mistaking who the droid belongs to.
BD-R3 "Beater" has been through a lot. Originally an R3 astromech, R3-N3e was all but destroyed, their memory and personality matrix salvaged and placed within a rebuilt BT-1 blastromech chassis designated BT-R3. Obsessed with self-improvement and frustrated by the exchange of functionality for firepower, BD-R3 "Beater" became sarcastic and dark. Finally, transplanted into a BD-unit, BD-R3 "Beater" feels more like their helpful and competent selves again, less limited by their chassis. As a result, there's sparks of upbeat hopefulness mixed in with the dark sarcasm and advise on how to best apply violence efficiently.
