I agree that having G0-T0 look like a Death Star droid was very strange, especially so as that droid was pretty goofy in the first place. I mean, let's all close our eyes and imagine G0-T0 looking more like a G-6000 Mega-Carbon Thunderbot with Plasmabeamers on its arms and we'd have like a thousand fanbois coming in here every day to cast their votes for G0-T0 as coolest character ever. A ripped tin blob won't do that. He definitely was an interesting character, but hey, the Elephant Man didn't get to score too often in his day either...
