Anyone made a Gonk yet out of LEGO?
What?

Gonk is an EG-6 power droid.  He's the one in the sandcrawler in Ep4 who
walks across the floor saying "Gonk...Gonk..."  He looks like a giant
rectangular car battery with legs.  There are two EG-6's in the background
in Watto's store in Ep1 too.  And he shows up in the spoof-trailer _Trooper
Clerks_.

I figure, one way to make him out of LEGO is a pair of dark gray minifig
legs attached to a brick or something, but there's probably a more elegant
solution using some of the techniques that the SW Ep1 LEGO sets used for
the pit droids...?

--Todd

I remember I had an action figure of that one!
I would have thought something similar, but it would need to be
two bricks high, 3-studs-wide. And if you still have any,
probably the old, 2x4's with red stripe and 4 black diamonds,
to make up one of the bricks for decorative purposes.
