Looks like the second of the Disney Droid Factory Box set has reached the game to join R5-X3

(R4-) M9 looks like it is being released in the Heros of The Resistance Expansion

From wookieepedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R4-M9

R4-M9 was an Imperial agromech droid of the R4-series, tasked with vehicle and computer maintenance, before being deployed on the Star Destroyer Devastator. While stationed on the Devastator, he was used by the Galactic Empire and accompanied the 501st Legion ordered by Darth Vader in order to pull data concerning the stolen Death Star plans from the Tantive IV 's computer banks during the Imperial capture of the Rebel Blockade Runner.

So a New Hope droid boxed for Force Awakens then

What do you think its ability will be?

Imperial droid. That was onboard things that ended up being destroyed. Unsure how the same droid would work for the resistance?

Why would they put an Imperial astromech from A New Hope in a box set that's otherwise exclusively devoted to ships and upgrades belonging to the Resistance from Force Awakens?

In the Resistance Heroes pack.

Actually, I'd love to see an Imperial-only regen astromech (requiring astromech slot obviously), because so far only the Imperial players have nothing to complain about in this expansion

And what ship would we install this theoretical astromech in?

Maybe it isn't an astromech slot card, but a crew?

Okay, sure.

What is an Imperial crew from A New Hope doing in an expansion pack that otherwise contains Resistance stuff from Force Awakens?

That's the first one I saw too, but I think it's more likely M9-G8

Isn't it M9-G8?

Would make more sense. I bow to your superior force sensitivity.
