R2D2?
Remember R2? Sassy astromech droid? One of 2 characters to appear in all 8 films? The character that was teased at EA's panel a year ago?

Well actually Chopper was an original design for R2 so technically R2 is the newer one haha
I think you're thinking of BB8. Artoo was meant to have a ball as his base although the original draft didn't have his top part spherical too.

"The design of Chopper, a.k.a. C1-10P, takes cues from early Ralph McQuarrie concept art for R2-D2, especially the expressive arms that fold out of his head. As "Star Wars Rebels" takes place four years prior to the events of "Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope," Chopper’s retro look creates an aesthetic continuity with droids of the original trilogy"
I guess both were from early Artoo designs then.
