SilentScope001 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 @Silentscope - HK was originally gonna lead the HK-51's top destroy there creator, who I think was Goto. But it got cut from TSL. That was part of the HK factory. Techincally, it is declared canon what HK did, according to that droid manual, so it isn't exactly "cut content". (What I think is interesting is a quote that Jediphile handed over to me of Kreia hinting that it was Revan that built the HK-50s, the carbon copies of HK-47s, ...not Goto. So, techincally, Revan betrayed HK-47. Goto only hired them as bounty hunters. The Hk-50s were made to kill Jedi, but after the Jedi Civil War, they were shut down. Goto reactivited them, and then released the robots to start killing Jedi and sowing mayhem.) Still, I'm thinking more of the effects the droids had on history in deciding what is best. HK hates the term "master" and hates organics/meatbags, but he serves them nevertheless, and reluctuantly of course. IG-88 was the bot that actually was able to channelize such hatred of humans into a political movement that could have succeded. And you know, I think it should have. Just think, the Rebels and the Imperials, finally forced to work together because of killer robots. Too much of a sci-fi cliche, I know, but it would be comedic. And true, IG may have killed more people, but you don't see him pulling out classic one-liners. Yeah. Classic one-liners are awesome. Still, I prefer IG-88 due to the more people he kill. Words are cheap, but actions are expensive.

Q Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 HK-47. HK has a personality. IG-88 doesn't. It may be impractical from an assassin's standpoint, but personality goes a long way. EDIT: WOW! A 2-year bumpity-bump! I missed that! Oh well, possibly some newcomers can re-ignite the discussion. -RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I went with HK-47. A least his head was never used as a drink dispenser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 @Silentscope - Well, who made HK-50's doesn't really matter in what I said, as the HK-51's were going to attack and kill Goto with HK-47 as their leader. And IG-88 is self-reliant as he was made nearly 4000 years later. Off-topic: Don't you find it odd that Kotor is 4000 years before Empire Strikes Back but they both similiar in technology?

DrPhil2501 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I feel I must apoligise for my last post! For FOUR reasons: - I honestly forgot what a thread revival is, now I remember! - It is a big offense! - I thought I posted something similar on some other thread, but for some odd reason, it didn't post. So I thought I might as well post it again on a diiferent thread (this one)! - I accidently posted something similar from some other guy's post without even knowing (I just looked at the persons post a minute ago. I apoligise to the victom)! I will make sure this never happens, but enough about me whining about my mistakes! Back on the subject: I think HK is better! Because he is simply better than IG-88!

Darkkender Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I place my vote with HK. Personality, & looks. Sure he has that master complex if you can get by the fact that he has killed more than 1 previous master I suppose you could say he is inferior. IG-88 hacked the Death Star 2 so what, there is no Death Star 4000 years prior. IG-88 killed lots of people, maybe so, however this is after how many books in the EU not to mention how many EU years. Likely for the respective time that HK has been a part of the EU universe I would say he has the potential to be just as deadly. Besides I think IG-88 would just kill a person if they asked him what he thought love was. HK is not only sadistic enough to answer he answers with a assasins perspective.

Anakin Skywalker Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 HK-47 would completely destroy IG-88..... HK-Query: Well Meatbag... are you ready to die? Commner- Please don't kill me! Shots comin from a blaster... HK- Mockery: Please don't kill me! HK- Statement: I listen to no Meatbags, other than the master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to canon. You could very well have Goto take over HK-47 in the cut content and have him blast the Remote. Off-topic: Don't you find it odd that Kotor is 4000 years before Empire Strikes Back but they both similiar in technology? Hey, there's a limit to which you can expand, no? And, according to the current "fanon", during the era of the Empire, technology declined. No one knows why, it just does. I place my vote with HK. Personality, & looks. Sure he has that master complex if you can get by the fact that he has killed more than 1 previous master I suppose you could say he is inferior. HK wins in personality and looks, but IG-88 is more indepedent. HK is in fact shackled, by Revan, and The Exile. He detested the word "Master", but still serve as a willing slave. He jokes, but who cares about jokes? I do prefer HK to IG-88, but IG-88 is still the best assisan droid, due to him being free. IG-88 hacked the Death Star 2 so what, there is no Death Star 4000 years prior. He also took over an entire droid factory and had the whole planet run by droids. He, in other words, formed an entire Droid state...and nobody knew it. Nobody! He could have started a Droid Rebellion. Is he boring, yes? But he is powerful, and he is the "best".

Rabish Bini Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 @Silentscope - Technology declined? LOL. One day they're using lasers the next they're using crossbows. HK-47 would've been more powerful ig IG-88 was in HK's time or vice-versa, but they're different because they're nearly 4000 years apart. And HK-47 was personally made by one of the, if not the most powerful Jedi in Star Wars history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jae Onasi Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Your Force skillz are indeed Great, Prime. I foresee the same, by a landslide. HK is THE assassin droid.

Cygnus Q'ol Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 While HK-47's personality programming makes him a more capable and entertaining conversationalist, IG-88 is self aware and alive. I'll always give the nod to sentient beings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Dude, that was HK-50..... I know, but, as HK-47 itself tells you, the 50's units are somewhat cruder and unsotisphicated versions of it. Then, if some crap version of HK-47 has enough skill to say something alike, then of course it has as well. Anyway, here goes another, one from it this time. You, HK-47, and a Jawa enters on a cantina: Jawa: *&¨%$ $¨#&&-#@ $¨% You: HK, could you help me out here? HK-47: Master, there's 98% of chance, that this Jawa is asking for help to release his captive friends... You: What about the others 2%? HK-47: The others 2% suggests that he's just looking for trouble and asking to be shot... may I shoot him now, master? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, if some crap version of HK-47 has enough skill to say something alike, then of course it has as well. HK-47 hate HK-50s. His opinon on the matter is not necersially unbiased. He also said that grey is less intimidating than red, to which the Exile responds: "Wha? You look very much alike." Besides, I believe HK-47 was a prototype model, made by Revan to prepare for him building the HK-50s, who were to be mass produced and sent to destroy all Jedi. Revan, his maker, "betrayed" HK-47 in making those imitations, but HK-47 is blind to that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
