I rediscovered this article from Dec 1977, and it had this picture of a mouse droid:
Note that he didn't really have a name yet, but even then they suggested "rat robot." Many of the early references weren't handled the best, so it's worth observing that the top greebles are mostly in a vertical orientation rather than being swept back. (I still like MCK-Y's angled look, oh well).
I don't remember seeing an interior photo before, those are some pretty rugged RC guts in there!
