The 2-1B Thread
I can't believe there isn't a thread here dedicated to 2-1B. A place to discuss all things 2-1B. Well there is now.
Now, I was going to ask over at the other place, but it got shut down before I could. My daughter wanted to play with my Star Wars figures, and she found 2-1B in the box. Being the inquisitive 4 year old she is, she started pelting me with 2-1B related questions...What's this hose for? Why is that mask on his mouth? Why is his tummy like that? Questions I never bothered even thinking of in the 25+ years since I got the vintage 2-1B. (I won't even get into the rest of her ESB questions).
Anyway, why does a robot have a mask and hose covering his mouth?

I think it's spelled "triceratops", but I've been wrong before.
Anyhow, 21B's mask ain't a mask - it's a voice modulator! The wire is the power supply, and runs directly from his main battery.
**PLEASE NOTE** No I don't know this "for sure", Slicker, you're the tool that has memorized the whole database from the official site. Blow me.

Actually, the breathing tube is where he keeps his candy. He's got a multitude of different sugar treats such a skittles and Now and Laters in there. It's for the kids if you know what I mean.

Here I was literally about to jump put of my seat and go look through a half dozen resource books to find out what the deal is with the mask. Then I thought, man fuck them guys.
Why is he called 2-1B and not B-B3? or 0M-7? or K-19?
I do know the actual film prop droid doesn't have feet. it's just those legs nailed to a board. Hasbro made the feet up.

Didjya ever notice how Luke is carrying on this friendly conversation with what is basically a toaster or a gaspump in their universe?
"Oh just leave that stuff and get the other stuff." "Take care, sir."
Yeah, cause I'm always asking my garbage disposal if it has a tummy ache and asking my PC if its gonna tell anyone i was looking at porn online. Luke must've been the loneliest fucker in the entire Alliance. What a douche balls.

Re: The 2-1B Thread
What's worse? That this page hasn't been touched in almost six years? Or that its only one page long.
