The red one was R5-D4 and the 'Encyclopedia of Star Wars' claims
R2-D2 persuaded it to blow its own motivator so that he could stay
with C3-P0. Now, this in some way helps support my arguments that
not only was R2 a jedi, but partially controlling our favorite
whiner, Luke.
As such, I would count both R2 and his jedi mind (processor?) trick
victim, R5 as mini-figs.
