TT-8L/Y7 Gatekeeper Droid

[kresty]

Well, the new user "grindhouse designs", reminded me that I think the TT-8L/Y7 Gatekeeper Droid is pretty cool.  So I uploaded some pix of it.  I guess this is on my to-do list.  At this rate my list is gonna outgrow Savage's list!

Gatekeeper Droid

This one has some peculiar cordlike things that strike me as a little odd.  Here they are hanging down.  They're like what you'd expect an electrical cord to do if it needed to extend for a fitting.  On this droid they''re really odd though.

There's a "base" tube I think in the door.  Then the silver tube that the end of the cords attach to, and then an inner pipe.  The inner pipe makes it so he can "jump" closer to C-3PO, however the middle silver tube lso moves.  Instead of making it longer, that tube can slide along the inner tube, but doesn't do much to the position of the "eye".
