Heh! The plastic toy soldier analogy isn't too far off. I sort of envisioned a
mini mecha army of cannon fodder in designing these - to be munched on by
Bryce's cankerworm or some other horrific large creation. But I'll keep the
magnifying glass away from them (too many plastic toy soldiers met their fate at
the hands of a magnifying glass and a sunny day...)
As for the spacers - I'm sad to say - Some battle droids had an unfortunate
acident which left them as amputees. But one mech's loss is another's gain...
Actually, I find the spacers to be unnecessary in most cases, so the majority of
battle droids have been spared.
Thanks for the comments!
