'''R2 series astromech droids''', also known as '''R2 units''', were a very popular series of [[astromech droid]]s produced by [[Industrial Automaton]]. They stood at around 1 [[meter]] in height, and were programmed to perform a variety of tasks. They were designed to be able to fit in the [[droid]] sockets commonly found on [[starfighter]]s. [[R2-D2]] was a notable example of this model. Although the R2 series was used prior to the [[Clone Wars]], they were still considered to be new during the [[Imperial Era|Age of the Empire]]. According to [[C1-10P]], a [[C1-series astromech droid]], the greatest flaw in R2 units' programming was compassion.<ref name="DiD book">[[Droids in Distress (book)|''Droids in Distress'' book]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Behind the scenes==<br />
In the earliest Italian works, all astromech droids are called "'''C1 units'''" (R2-D2 is called "C1-P8").<br />
