Ditto.  This one seems to be centered on the technic pin-holes, not very
useful for what is really a brick piece.

Should it also be rotated 90-degrees around Y?  Although it is more
standard (comparing to Technic Bricks) to have the pin-holes face the

undoubtably arise), and will probably get R2D2's pattern soonish, let's keep

calls for the holes' axes to be parallel to the x-axis.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

Ditto. I suggest it should be rotated 90 degrees before officializatoin. (btw, I made a little mockup of R2's body with
orna... sorry, pattern)
