Hey, it's me!
Hehe. That cover was obviously intended to sell comics. He never actually has that over the top badass who is trying too hard look in the comic book. Just a normal looking protocol droid with the x on his head (from being shoddily repaired) and concealed weapons built into his body.
Funny fact, I actually had a portion of that picture I was going to use as my avatar when I originally signed up here (back in '05, I think...) before I discovered the old forum software wouldn't let us upload pictures at that point, so I grabbed that red eyed Ewok pic I used to use.
