Naming
- The The Essential Guide to Droids refers to this series as "agromech" numerous times because this series was not designed to perform as an astromech in its primary role.--Eion 02:15, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Still, it was an astromech droid. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 23:34, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- With heavy modifications, yes. But it was not its primary, not its designated function. It'd be like turning a VW beetle into a dune buggy. You would not call a stock VW Beatle a "dune buggy" even though it can modified into one. I've added additional sources that use the term "agromech" in reference to the R4 specifically.--Eion 02:35, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)
