Series 4000

Created by Professor Mamet for Diva-Droid International - and modelled on her one-time love John Warburton - the 4000 series' angular head meant it could never be mistaken for a human in the way the 3000 series droids were.

The 4000 is supplied with spare limbs and heads - the brains of which are part-organic - and is also available in a GTi model which comes with a slide-back sun-roof head and realistic toes. All models are programmed to believe in a Silicon Heaven, an electronic afterlife for those who serve their masters well - this prevents them from getting stroppy when the time comes for them to be upgraded.

Operational notes: For reasons best known to Diva-Droid International, the 4000s are also known as 'Series III.'
