Jedi Apprentice Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 LA has just posted up a new character bio on their Knights page. A self-sentient killing machine, it is obvious merely from its menacing appearance that HK-47 is far more than an ordinary combat droid. HK-47 This guy could be more interesting than I first expected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Oh yeah, I'm going to have this thing in my party! Like you said Jedi Apprentice, there is much more to this machine then I had originally thought.....I must learn more about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne- Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 """'--But on the dangerous worlds of the Outer Rim, having a merciless, flame-throwing engine of destruction at your side can be quite useful... until it decides you're the next target '''' See...a possible traitor in the mists.This...this thing can flip on us too??? Great...it looks cool,sounds tough,and we might have to watch our backs too....can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 HK-47 rules!!! Easily one of my favorite characters already. TheChosenOne is right though, he sounds like you have to keep him happy or you'll wake up swimming with the fisheys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 A very nice bio... finally a bit of information about this new droid, one character that I'd been hoping to see some new information about. He seems to be a rather powerful character(the capability of killing all sentients in one building, just to kill a single person is powerful in my book), I'd like to see how he's used. And I agree with the rest, we could have the potential traitor here. However, this certain line might also be a minor nod to HK-47's past...

Rogue Nine Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 "Self-sentient"? That's a bit redundant, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it off a few videos that IGN had up around the time that the trailer was released. Apparantly, it must've been some rather early footage, because the PC was fighting the Dark Jedi, and for no reason whatsoever, they stop fighting, and the DJ falls down. To solve that, I merely added some blaster bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was thinking:D I can imagine this conversation happening: PC:"You can't just go around killing people!" HK-47:"Why?" PC:"Because you can't!!" HK-47:"Why?" PC:"Because you just can't, ok?" *PC starts walking off* *HK-47 shrugs..raises blaster and considers shooting PC in back of head..chnages mind, holsters blaster and falls back in line* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrie Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I used Blender, a free 3D program. I simply used the trailer as the background for the movie, then added a few objects which resemble laser bolts, and let them fly around a bit. I did the same thing with the previous signature... very few people actually noticed that I had added a red lightsaber to Malak until I told them. It's pretty much unnoticable because the movie itself is rather small. If you'd see it in its original size, it's rather obvious that they were added.

Jedi Apprentice Posted May 10, 2003 Author Share Posted May 10, 2003 Oops, you're right, Burrie. It was from the E3 video at IGN which was pretty much just the trailer and one or two added clips. I guess ya'll didn't notice Burrie's last sig where he added the saber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takennames Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 those are nice effects with the blender HK 47 looks like a big bug that will sting you if you get close to him. DO NOT MESS WITH HIM!!

TheChosenOne- Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Is this killing machine a mindless droid like the fedration droids in ep1...."Roger..Roger...":bdroid2: or will it be 'alive' and comunicate and interact with you and crew. If its a regular droid-reprogrammed to kill,then can't you use the jedi mind trick on it...."Theses aren't the droids your looking for". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe they are, but they aren't all programmed the same. There could be many of the same make and model, but they will probabaly all have programming differences making them far superior to battle droids. I'm not sure if all droids are susceptible to mind tricks like battle droids, but I think this one would be harder to persuade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I pretty much expect that HK-47 will have his own will and opinion. The biography already mentions that he hadn't had a memory wipe for a long time, which often leads to droids developing a personality of their own(C3PO and R2D2). I'm expecting that HK-47 and T3-M4 will pretty much be the C3PO and R2D2 team from the Star Wars saga, albeit that HK-47 is the complete opposite of C3PO. I mostly expect this due to their prominent position on the cover of the box. I don't think that you can use a jedi mind trick to persuade a droid tho'.

Its all computers...and I doubt you can affect the "thinking" of a computer through the force, but who knows. Life's full of surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
