The TTS20-series dialectic droid, manufactured by Industrial Automaton, was conceived to merge aspects of both teaching and mentor droids alongside public speaking capabilities. Industrial Automaton took their TTS15-series education and tutorial droid and enhanced it with supplementary communication components, pre-loaded with numerous argumentative approaches. It was common for specific TTS20 units to cultivate more argumentative dispositions, yet certain droid owners considered this flaw to be a beneficial addition. The TTS20's exterior was protected by a laminanium casing.
