At first glance you may think this is just R2-D2′s darker cousin but in reality it is R2-Q5 which surprisingly enough was in the originally trilogy and with no surprise at all have a long back story. No he is not an evil R2 – if he was that would just make him cooler.
R2-Q5 was an R2-series astromech droid produced by Industrial Automaton. R2-Q5 had black coverings highlighted by bronze access panels. R2-Q5 was a well-equipped droid, with tools for repairing starships and special, hidden spy devices. He was also one of the few beings aware of IG-88A’s infiltration of the Death Star. [SOURCE]
IG-88A’s infiltration of the Death Star??? I have no idea. I always thought IG-88 was a lame attempt at seeing Tin Man looking action figures.

Not just IG-88….. IG-88A !
IG-88A succeeded in gaining access to the second Death Star’s computer core, in which he inserted his consciousness, gaining control of the most powerful weapon in the galaxy. However, just as IG-88A was preparing to activate the signal that would summon the sentience-programmed droids to his command, the Death Star was destroyed by the Rebel Alliance during the Battle of Endor.
Who knew?
