Darkling19 Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Hey all, i was just wondering about Gonk droids, like most of you the first thing that crossed my mind when i encountered my first gonker was: WHAT IS THAT HORRIBLE SOUND? it wasn't just when i was nearby, i could hear that bloody gonker through walls and stuff, so i just had to go back and kill the heck out of it to get that godawfull sound out of my head. What do gonkers do anyway? they're a box on legs that make a horrible noise, they walk amazingly slow and do absolutely nothing. at least the R2's do some work around the place. the only reason i can think of is that they're transmitting stuff hence the continual gonking sound. and then, what idiot designed them as a box on legs? surely tracks or wheels are more convenient and stable, it's always on flat metal floors anyways. anyways, the lil fellow grows on you and i even modified the pk3 of my favorite rodian so that it now stretches out it's hand and goes GOOOOOOOOOOONK when i taunt. it's perfect, you couldn't wish a more annoying taunt on your opponent. (yes i know, i got the idea from that post with the funny starwars pics and the stormy going GONK in a group of stormy's going hey you there) tjeez this post turned out longer than i planned, i must have subconsious conflicts about gonkers.

Darkling19 Posted May 9, 2002 Author Share Posted May 9, 2002 talking about what robots do, what the hell are those mouse droids for? i've wondered about that ever since i saw chewie scare one in a new hope. my best guess was the vacume, hoover and wax all those smooth floors on the deathstar cos u never see a cleaning crew and it's allways spotless.

Jedi_Monk Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Yeah, GONK droids are basically walking batteries... you can see one coming out of the Jawa Sandcrawler in ANH--they always just say "GONK". The Mouse droids, yes, carry messages, lead people to their posts and do some work in places inaccessable to humans or larger droids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdoch Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 And they make a particulary long and low pitched GONK when you slice them. And used to carry messages? Anyone ever seen them move more than 0.5 mph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 gonks are power droids mouse droids are message carriers and troop leaders (them the little wheeled 1's like on the deathstar) does my bum look big in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkling19 Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 actually i think gonkers can say more than gonk. in return of the jedi R2 and 3PO are taking down into jabba's palace to see some robot guy (the brown one) one of the robots being tortured is a gonker, it's a box on two legs at least, it's being tortured by some white skeletal looking droid, but this gonker is whimpering in pain cos it's feet are being scalded. if the gonker is just a walking battery why would anyone bother to torture them? unless they got totally annoyed by the sound they make...

GonkH8er Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 they say other gonkish noises too in ANH one says "Gonk... Gonk.... Gonkestia Kohje.." I'd upload the sound file, but i hate that damn noise... argh... they piss me off. I command you all to go kill them all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkling19 Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 the answer to that one is in this post here somewhere, some people said they recharge batteries and stuff, sounds logical to me. he what do u all think of the gonk avatar i made? looks better full size though and i had to simplefy the colors to keep the size down.

Darkling19 Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 when you say bloody good, are you being sarcastic?! and why would you want to throw my gonker into a pit? i was just thinking since i allready made the movieclip in flash i'd do a entire flash movie about gonkers, i just need a good story... so all you gonk lovers tell me your idea's and i'll animate a epic tale with gonkers and jawa's. also i was wondering if someone could make a gonker model to use in jediknight, actually the model is allready there just adapt it so that we can use it in mp with guns on top or something. it would be like the Nali Warcow from unreal tournament. then i can start a gonker clan and overrun people with an unstoppable army of boxes with feet that go GOOOOOOONK BLAMMO. teehee and a little robot arm coming out of the side to hold the lightsaber. this could be great, can you imagine my jedi gonker wallwalking and doing backflips while beating the living snot out of all you humanoids, we need more droids in MP. the probedroid could work too, DIMM IN THE BIMMBIMM DIMM IN THE BIMMBIMM.... GONKER FOR PRESIDENT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Monk Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 How'sabout this, Darkling19: EXT - BEGGARS' CANYON - DAY Establishing shot - A Sandcrawler rests at the bottom of the canyon, its mamoth engines humming as a troop of Jawas meddle around outside. Cut to a closer view of the Jawas, who are muttering their indecipherable of "Ut"s and "Utini"s. In the background, several carry a busted-up droid up the ramp and into the Sandcrawler while those in the foreground poke and probe at another droid curiously. "GONK" The Jawas stop babbling and all look in the direction of the sound. "GONK" The jabbering starts up again. The Jawan leader directs his men (his incoherence complimented by sharp, clear gestures) to go out and find the droid that made that noise and bring them in. The Jawas shoulder their disruptors and scuttle toward the Gonk droid. They turn a bend in the canyon... their beedy, glowing eyes suddenly go cartoonishly wide and they shriek a collective scream. "GONK" "GONK" "GONK" "GONK" "GONK!" They are overtaken by a stampeed of... Meanwhile, back at the Sandcrawler, the Jawas are finishing up with the other droid, when they hear the same terrible ruckus as before. They all turn back... they all have the same reaction as the former Jawas. They try to run into the Sandcrawler, but they are overtaken by a stampeed of thousand of Gonk droids and carried away and out of sight screaming comically. A straggling Gonk droid follows the body of the stampeed and utters a lonely, "Gonk." -The End- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkling19 Posted May 11, 2002 Author Share Posted May 11, 2002 man you put some thought into that one, i'm gonna make a flash of that. stampeding gonkers YEEEHAW. gives me a chance to practice on learning flash MX. i have gonker mp3's from the game itself, the gonker deathwail is one of them by the way, there's a lot of sounds you don't hear back in the game. but if anyone can find me some jawa mp3's or wav's i'd be very gratefull.
