”’R2 series astromech droids”’, also known as ”’R2 units”’, were a very popular series of [[astromech droid]]s produced by [[Industrial Automaton]]. They were the most popular line of all the R-series.[[Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition]] They stood at around 1 [[meter]] in height, sported a distinctive domed head, and were programmed to perform a variety of tasks. The R2 series was a major success for Industrial Automaton, and many later models of astromech were based on the R2 series, though none had the same success. [[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.[[Droids in Distress (book)|”Droids in Distress” book]]
