That's essentially how I see them. The Stormtrooper will be a great source of white Technic parts and C3P-0 has some interesting gold parts and gold decorated tiles. I don't find either design very appealing. Threepio works a little better because (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)
