That whole thing is giving me fits. I can't imagine it would have survived if Disney had owned it back then. Copyright law was WAY sketchier 40+ years ago.

The cutout in the rear seems to say jet engine. 

Yes the cutout screams jet engine. But, did Sig Erson really make jet cams?

I want to find period photos of them ("LIVE!"), but I was having a difficult enough time trying to find "Death Ship" photos.   Galaxy II seemed to get all the attention.

We need a time machine to go check it out. Also, props for R3D3 1000.

He was. I just love the droid’s new name in this alt universe.  

In reply to David S. Wallens :

We have a Litter Robot. It's connected to the wifi. We named it "R2Poop2". The kids still laugh 4 years later every time they see it.
