I was thinking more along the lines of a patch to fix certain parts of
R2, but some of the R2 drones have pics (I wish more did).

Actually R2 Beefed the hell out of the Saab Dynamit (although ya might
not of noticed it ..., and it did the same with most, if not every, other
vehicle)
What changed: Body increased by 1; Armor removed; Economy greatly
reduced; price reduced;
The big thing was the change in Speed. "what's he talking about? R1 & R2
both list the speed as 250." wrong. R1's Tops Speed was the absolute
(IIRC) top speed it go. In R2 the absolute is 1.5 times it's speed (at a
penalty to handling) so the Dynamit can go at a top speed of 375 meters
per combat phase or 450 km/hr (about 277 mph). scary, neh?
