Droid Control Crown: If a DD-3 makes physical contact with the housing of a droid's cognitive module
(Dexterity/Melee attack vs. target defense), the penetrative programming transmitters located in its
appendages may attempt to seize control over the target droid, on a successful droid programming roll
opposed by the target droid's willpower.

Interesting write up. Any idea where the concept of the DD3 even came from? I know the artwork is as per that link. BUT does that link describe in it where HE got the idea?

Thanks, garhkal! And this was done for one of the ILM art challenges in 2016. Although I haven't had a chance to read the actual parameters the artists were given,
according to contestant Paul Massey, they were tasked with designing a droid that, "... should be like R2's little bro', his sidekick, but he's a little annoying, a touch feisty."
Massey is responsible for this also nifty "tire" based design:

So where did the idea it 'can attach itself and take over other droids' come from?
