grievous' bodyguards the advanced IG-100 combat android have a specially ordered upgrade: a highly advanced "learning" AI package. of course the the trade federation put a limiter system that supposedly wont let the droid AI progress past a certain point but the failed to realize what could happen if the droid's AI package could disable the limiter... thats the case of scrapheap: the renegade IG-100. shortly after the bi-yearly system check, scrapheap's AI went rampant and he began doing weird things like examining objects. over time his AI progressed to the point where he disabled the limiter program and became fully self-aware like IG-88 later would. he downloaded every educational holo he could get his hands on till he was intelligent to the point he could have a doctorate in multiple fields. by this time the 2nd system scan was due and the tech engineers realized what occurred and attempted to destroy him, but failed to relize that since he was self-aware he would place his survival above all else. needless to say the met a bloody end as the rouge IG unit fled the station in a fighter. he made it to raxus prime where he took up residence in a large tower with a pit in the center. over the span of 3 months he fought B1s, B2s and the new commando droids before they dispatched 3 other IG-100s to finish the job. during the battle with the other IGs scrapheap lost use an arm and both legs. they thought his 2nd arm was ruined but he played possum (or the SW equivalent of one). they tossed him into the pit in the center of the tower and left. about a day later he began using the many ruined droids to rebuild himself. he put to use 2 old IG-86s and a prototype IG-87 model to build his current form. upon completing his new body (he kept his head though) said "im am but a shell of my former self... i am but a walking scrap heap..." at that moment a clone searching the facility found him and a conversation began "scrap heap huh? i think it suits you. "do not mock me meatbag." "a fresh coat of paint and some new servos and you'll be running at peak performance again. " "i know not who would show that level of kindness to a monster like myself." "join up with my team and you'll have all the parts and paint you need." "your kind isnt exactly friendly to droids such a myself. " "you're with me. my team doesnt question who or what i bring back. after all you're a scrap heap. not a known droid model. so whats your name anyway?" "you may call me... scrapheap. i do quite like the sound it has. and your name my new ally?" "call me joker."
now you know the origin of scrapheap and how he got on the GRM crew. now see him in all his scrap-y glory
great flexibility on him too
scrapheap is onr of the most flexible figures ive customized that was 3 3/4in. he has around 25 points of articulation which is approaching ML grade articulation.
breakdown:
torso: modded IG-88 torso (anniversary edition)
arms: modded IG-86 arms
legs: modded IG-86 legs/pelvis section
feet: modded scubaaaa clooone feet (couldnt resist)
head/ neck joint: seriously modded grievous' bodyguard head and neck joint .
this was a hard but rewarding droid to make and resulted in several injuries along the way lol including 3 fingers sliced open with a hobby knife, 2 fingers sliced with a regular knife, and 1 fingernail almost split open due to a drill slip. -_- what fun.
