Dyan Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I've always assumed that "HK" stands for "Hunter Killer" - given his assassination protocols, but does anyone actually know? So let's here your ideas. HK47: Commentary: It is not possible to destroy the master. It is suggested that you run while my blasters warm, meatbags. Bastila to Revan: You are easily the vainest, most arrogant man I have ever met! Canderous to Bastila: Insults? Maybe if your master had trained your lightsaber to be as quick as your tongue you could have escaped those Vulkars, you spoiled little Jedi princess!
Akhan225 Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 The developers of KotOR, BioWare, revealed where HK-47's name came from on their forums. "HK-47 was the name of the drop ship that put you down on the planet surface in Shattered Steel." Shattered Steel is a 1996 action game developed by BioWare.
KOTORFanactic Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 The most logical name would be Hunter Killer. ANything with HK in it's name is often a Hnter Killer of some sort.
Jediphile Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) The most logical name would be Hunter Killer. ANything with HK in it's name is often a Hnter Killer of some sort. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed. I still think they should have had the HK-50 unit greet a female Exile with the question, "Query: Are you Sarah Connor?" :D Edited January 23, 2006 by Jediphile Visit my KotOR blog at Deadly Forums.
Bulgarian Jedi Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I have read somewhere that the HK can either mean Hunter Killer or Henker&Koch. The number 47 is used so the name can be similar to AK-47. Нека Силата винаги бъде с теб! I reject your reality, and substitute it with my own. Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted.

Cassidy Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Fun Fact: AK-47 got its name because it was designed in the year 1947.

darth buch Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 The real question is- what does T3-M4 stand for?
Gabrielle Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 HK, Hunter Killer. Logically it makes sense.
Dyan Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 The real question is- what does T3-M4 stand for? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Terminator 3, Malachor 4 ? :D HK47: Commentary: It is not possible to destroy the master.

Sikon Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) The real question is- what does T3-M4 stand for?I think it doesn't stand for anything. At least the "M" clearly doesn't, as one of the predecessor units was called T3-H8. Anyway, we should keep in mind that T3-M4 was called T3-M3 during early stages of KOTOR I development.

jaguars4ever Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 In the first KOTOR, after you get captured by the Leviathan and if you choose to send HK to rescue you, then one of the Sith Troopers confirms the "Hunter Killer" acronym by effectively saying, "We found one Hunter Killer model in the cargo hold...", or somesuch. *GASPS FOR AIR*
Jediphile Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 The real question is- what does T3-M4 stand for? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What does R2-D2 stand for? Or C-3PO? Visit my KotOR blog at Deadly Forums.

Gorgon Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 It's a play on AK 47. Obviously. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Cassidy Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 No, HK-47 WAS named after a ship in a previous BioWare game.
BattleCookiee Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 No, HK-47 WAS named after a ship in a previous BioWare game. That was obvious after the first post in this thread... but people just like to spam here

Gorgon Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 No, HK-47 WAS named after a ship in a previous BioWare game. Then that ship was a play on AK 47. Potato, Potatoe. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Cassidy Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Ok... Why would anyone name a ship for a rifle? That makes no sense.
