• The dome has a clear plastic piece in it which when light shines on it lights up R2-D2's "front eye"

• The cables on the front of both feet are painted on instead of being actual "cables" as seen on more modern astromech droids

R2-D2 is a tripodal computer repair and information retrieval robot, or astromech droid. As an R2 unit, he is equipped with navigational starfighter interfaces, plus extensive sensor packages and numerous devices to facilitate in-flight repairs: laser arc welder, circular saw, grasper arm, and fire extinguisher. He communicates through information-dense chips, beeps and whistles and seems to take pleasure in causing anxiety for his neurotic companion, the protocol droid C-3PO.
