Old Republic Assassin Droid.  AC1S "Acis" has been operational for centuries, but his origins are shrouded in mystery.  He simply remebers coming on-line suddenly aboard a starship called "Bird of Prey" in hyperspace on route from the Outer Rims to Coruscant.  Apparently the ship is his, but the only files available in either it or in his own memory banks are diagnostics.  He began selling his services as a bounty hunter and assassin shortly therafter.  His mechanical lekku or "mechku" houses a generator for a personal shield system.  His mech-fluid tubes that run thru his veins are rife with nanomachines that can initiate self-repairs.  He wields twin plasma blasters of unknown origin.  Ocassionally Acis teams with fellow bounty hunter Haik Vhett and has even been taught Mando ways by Vhett.  He has never met another droid of his model, and often wonders is he is a one-off. 

"AC1S" Acis





The body is from a "Sauron" fig from Captain Power and the guns are from a Neo-Shifters minifig.

Thanks, Lucasclones!  I am a recent inductee to the Lovecraft Cult.  I hope I did the mythos justice.
I sure think so! Hey if you ever want to trade him for something of mine I sure would like to have him! ;)

A Landspeeder
A Hovertank
A Speederbike/Swoop
A Clone trooper w/ Heavy Recon Flightpack
Another Female Mando
An Ancient Jedi Master
A fistful of Dio/background items
