HK-50

[HK-47_THE_MEATBAG_KILLER]

ok, i was just playing k1 againg the other day and i realized something. on the leviathon if you use HK to rescue you, two sith soldiers are talking about him and one says that he found a hunter-killer droid in the back. i assumed that there were more hk's around, and that they are fairly recognizable. why then in K2 does the entire republic fleet accept the HK-50's as protocol droids? i would think someone in that entire fleet would recognize them and i doubt they can erase all evidence of there true function. is this a plot hole or am i just missing something?

the Hunter Killer droid was HK-47, and he was the only HK until the HK-50s...

He's right, it's a plot hole. Same prefix, same skeleton, there's a saying, "If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...." Someone should have recognized the HK-50s for what they are.

Maybe when the Droid Factory is restored by Team Gizka, we'll get some answers.

[BattleCookiee]

Are you sure they say "Hunter-Killer droid" in Kotor1?

 

As nobody in Kotor1 knew HK was an assassin droid (especially the seller) and HK does NOT mean Hunter Killer...

[Wild Storm]

Yep. They indeed said Hunter Killer droid. But remember HK was used by Revan early into the war. So, its possible that many Sith troops saw HK.

[BattleCookiee]

Indeed. Also the only mention of Hunter-Killer in the entire game... hmmm.

 

BioWare oversight?

[DeathScepter]

I do think there is more Hk units out there and I do think that Hk-47 is the only unique Hk-47 out there.

[Jediphile]

What I want to know is, if we have HK-47 in KotOR1 and HK-50s in KotOR2 (with HK-51s in the cut content), then where the heck is HK-48 and HK-49?!?

[Deadly_Nightshade]

me thinks that HK-47 = play on AK-47...

When do people atlast do their research ?

 

HK-47 is the name of the Dropship (HK-47) in BioWare's RTS Shattered Steel...

 

And a dropshipname based on a AK-47 seems very peculiar to me...

[Dark_Raven]

I do not recall ever hearing HK-47 being refered to as a hunter killer droid in either of the games.

[Neroyume]

Trooper One: Have you searched the ship thoroughly? Admiral Karath warned me to be on alert for any kind of treachery.

 

Trooper Two: We found a disabled hunter-killer droid in the back of the ship.

 

Trooper One: Excellent. We can reprogram this droid to fight in our own army. Wipe its memory chip and take it to the salvage shop. The technicians will deal with it later.

In some of the cut dialogue between HK-47 and the HK-50's in the factory, the HK-50's reveal that the older generations were used for target practice when they became obsolete. they probably looked the same and had the same purpose as the later models.

[Sturm]

there could be more hk-47's, considering how many hk-50's were made, maybe revan wanted more to produce, although you dont see any in k1

if hk 50's were put in k1 and with the abilities of Hk in number one... 47 would easily outclass em. Plus if HK 47 had all of his abilites (you know.. the ones you found after repairing him, plus all the other functionality) he could easily smash all the 50's.

[DeathScepter]

Revan is a very good mechanic also a genius for making Hk-47.

[BattleCookiee]

HK-47 was unique. This was done so they wouldn't find out it was a "Combat Droid"...

 

The HK-50 mass production infuriates HK-47 because it seriously spoils his cover as it becomes more and more clear what these droids are...

Even though it's quite apparent that the entire Sith Army knew about HK droid models.

Well, two sith soldiers mentioned it. That doesn't mean the entire sith army does.

[BattleCookiee]

Yup. The entirety of Korriban does not know... nor do they know Revan for that case...

[SSgtSniper]

When the grunts know, you can bet most of the army knows. Just because officer don't know their hind ends from a hole in the ground, doesn't mean the army doesn't know.
