Designed as a protocol droid, C-3PO's main programming function is to interact with human society. He is an interpreter fluent in over six million galactic languages, specializing in the areas of etiquette and translation - especially important during diplomatic missions. To aid in these tasks, he is equipped with microwave and olfactory sensors, photoreceptors, vocabulator speech units, energy transducers and broad-band antenna receivers. He was programmed with an elegant, human sounding voice, but more often than not C-3PO is heard whining and bickering with his companion, the astromech droid R2-D2.
C-3PO was once a simple interpreter aboard the transport ship Tantine IV, but a twist of fate made him one of the most wanted droids in the galaxy and a reluctant but loyal hero in the Rebel Alliance's struggle against the Empire. When her transport was attacked by Darth Vader, Princess Leia Organa hid secret technical readouts for the Empire's new Death Star in the memory banks of C-3PO's companion R2-D2. The two droids then jettisoned from the ship in an escape pod, setting about the chain of events that brought Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Obi-Wan Kenobi into the Rebel Alliance and ultimately led to the destruction of the Empire's ultimate Battle Station.
Here we have the simple and lame character known as C-3PO.
Coming with absolutely nothing whatsoever he sure is exciting. Mine breaks apart, of course this could just means I broke him, ah well his parts stay in when I push'em back in.
Paintjob is movie standard, a really shiny gold. Midsection is black with red and blue wires.
Heres another crappy figure that gets the good movement. Head, shoulders, waist and thighs move. Well he still got screwed over, his arms are stuck at movie 45 degree angles so TAKE THAT YOU SHINY TIN CAN!!!
Not really worth money in my opinion, hes just to plain and lacking...[See More]
