I had seen them in the films and just sorta glossed over them, thinking all Treadwells were created equal. I'm a little embarrassed by that, considering how much time I've spent pouring over other details of these movies.
I had always thought that this was a Treadwell:
But somehow in my head that droid was merged with this one:
like the WED 15's head but with all the arms that the Septoid has. (If I even got the names right)
I went and read the wookiepedia entries for them today (the images are borrowed from them) and am now realizing that there are as many different Treadwells as there are astromechs. That's kinda cool!
I'm looking at building one of these before I attempt an Astromech but I can't find any plans or blueprints. I applied for the Yahoo Treadwell builder's group a couple of weeks ago but still have not been verified as a member. Is there anyone out there who has the WED-15 plans hosted somewhere? I'd rather work off of a blueprint than try to do this from scratch.
Thanks
