GNK (GONK) Power Droid
As seen in the Star Wars Wars Universe
GNK Power Droids were an Industrial Automaton knockoff of the successful EG-6 power droid. They were effectively power generators with legs and a very simple AI so they could understand rudimentary commands. The came in many sizes to accommodate various tasks. They were commonly found on under-developed worlds that did not have an expansive power grid, or in most mobile military operations. They often made a low honking noise that sounds like the word "gonk," resulting in the nickname gonk droid or simply gonk. This form of droidspeak was referred to as "Gonkian." |
Here is my version of the Power (GONK) Droid. I used two large plastic containers to make the main body of the droid. Then with some PVC pipe flanges I attached them to the body and inserted pvc pipe for the legs. To cover the legs I used 4" plastic drain tube. For the feet I opted to use small storage containers. Then I added some details and made the front face panel and this is what I came up with. My version of a Power (GONK) Droid that stands 3-feet 3-inches tall. |
