Hi folks.
Apologies if this has already been covered.
I'm trying to get some help IDing parts on a specific Kenner kitbashed figure from their proposed 1985 non-film line extension. (Sort of a forerunner to the Shadows of the Empire concept of doing a 'big movie merch tie-in release, except without a movie'.)
If you're unfamiliar with the '85 line extension, click here
I've previously replicated two of these proposal kitbashes as customs, and am currently gathering parts for a third. So naturally I'm looking at the others with fresh eyes.
On the first three it was relatively easy to ID the parts they'd used and source myself some beaters of those figures. The fourth is proving more difficult.
Unfortunately, the name of this particular kitbash is simply "Imperial Attack Droid C" so using those keywords to search these forums returned a lot of unrelated results. Hence why I thought it best to start a new thread.

Here's what I can deduce so far.
The legs are from the original Power Droid.

The torso is from R2 (or R5), inverted and with some additional greeblies added.

Above that is FX-7's head.

At the bottom is the proton torpedo from the Y-wing fighter, again with a greeblie added to it.

Those are all the ones I know for certain.
This nubbed hubcap-looking piece above the FX-7 head looks tantalizingly familiar though.

I thought for a while it might be a GI Joe piece, then I remembered Kenner wasn't yet bought by Hasbro in 1985.
However, we know they did occasionally use toys from other companies for kitbashing. (Fisher-Price Adventure People, Shogun Warriors, etc.)
So don't limit your thinking to just the vintage Kenner line.
Does anyone recognize any of these other parts?
Any help here would be hot.
