I built R2D2 a BODY // STAR WARS Polymer Clay Tutorial

Ever wonder what R2D2 would look like if he was a Gunpla? Well now you know. I made R2D2 into a fully mechanized, fully limbed, imperial smashing robo-badass.

And of course, ya'll know I love me my likes and comments, and if you haven't subscribed yet, now is a great time to do it!

Finally, a visual representation of how menacing R2 actually was

[yodaspielberg]

"Star Wars has taught me function should never stand in the way of design."
That is such a perfect summation of the Star Wars aesthetic.

[RohansDaughter]

R2 already fears neither gods nor men, and here you are enabling him. we're all kriffing doomed.

also the aesthetic is perfect, the addition of the rebel colors really accentuated that "homemade battle armor upgrade made by scruffy imperial school dropouts" vibe. i can totally imagine this on the cover of a SW Extended Universe book.

[idrawpictures]

The design is really impressive. I love drawing original characters but can't ever think of details to keep them from being too plain. All of your small "form over function" details are awesome.

[ESquadProductions]

Okay this was the LAST thing I expected for part 2 😂

[soulkingbrook]

Princess Leia: alright Luke your titans on stand by call it when ready
Luke: *visible confusion*. Alright uh send it down
*Insert R2-D2 scream gradually getting louder as he falls from the sky*

[THECRAFT]

Amazing and very imaginative creation. Great video editing and commentary as well. 😊👍👍👍

[MrWhchrd]

This would probably look really cool next to the tie fighter mech you made

[Agaminmon]

Awesome! I love it. The concept is missing in SW. Droids that can adapt with robotic parts to become something more then the original form. R2 being the feisty butt kicking droid he was with the robotics it's takes it up a few notches. Since he likes to zap things maybe some sort of electro-blaster or something built into the robot form. This was a inspirational video for me thanks for sharing!

[gregkelly]

I wasn't sure I was down for the whole "arms and legs R2" thing, but that was AMAZING!! Thank you!

[lewiscausey]

That is stupid sick. I love it. I can imagine R2 saying, "Call me an overweight glob of grease again!" Haha

[ErokLobotomist]

That brick texturing idea is probably the easiest and coolest one I've seen. Thanks for that!

[crookedbuns]

I love how you didn't reuse the stair set that you had already made but went out of your way to not only give R2D2 some sexy ass limbs but a whole new set to stand upon with pride. Just brilliant.

[sarcasticotter]

Therapist: "Chad R2-D2 isn't real, it can't hurt you"
Chad R2-D2:

(Great creation!)

[MCMXCI]

R2D2: "Ore wa... GUNDAM"

(this is excellent, love Beefy Robot Droid)

[howardfargo]

My favorite part is the homage to the old timey hockey blocker!! Fits perfectly with the name of the channel👍 Giving R2 the North of the Border flair!!!!

[mr.invisiblej]

Oh wow, my favorite robo-character: R2-D2. That's an excellent design.

[RobOSullivan]

but... what if this isn't even his final form?? this is rad!

[mememan]

This is the perfect example of a blursed image. It looks awesome, but it’s also weird because it’s not what you’re used to. Amazing job, man! They should make an action figure of this!

[ajclements]

I had no idea I needed to see R2 in human-esque robotic form, but I LOVE this.
