January 23, 200620 yr 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!
January 23, 200620 yr 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.
January 23, 200620 yr The most logical name would be Hunter Killer. ANything with HK in it's name is often a Hnter Killer of some sort.

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, 200620 yr by Jediphile Visit my KotOR blog at Deadly Forums.
January 23, 200620 yr 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!

January 24, 200620 yr Author 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. 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?

January 24, 200620 yr 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. Edited January 24, 200620 yr by Sikon
January 24, 200620 yr 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*
January 24, 200620 yr 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.
January 25, 200620 yr Hai Ku 47 example- Statement: Master, what do you need? Should a make a meatbag bleed? How hot is Admiral Cede? (w00t) "Great intelligence usually goes hand in hand with great stupdity." Join The Sibilati! -Sibilati retrorsum sibilamus
January 25, 200620 yr 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.
January 25, 200620 yr 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

Shattered Steel is a 1996 action game developed by BioWare. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And the idea for the ships name came from Terminators 'hunter-killer' + AK-47 :cool:
January 26, 200620 yr 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.
