Savage bot 9000
>Let's just rip off HK47
Well at least they know to steal from the best now.

Yeah, I was actually kind of amused at the nod.
>giving a robot a deliberate hunch makes him visually more interesting
When people ask about how to design mecha, they should remember little touches like this.

He was nothing like that edgebot. He was actually quite charming.

HK was far more than an edgebot. He was one of the best written characters of the franchise.

How can one bot be so fucking based
Meanwhile on the TORtanic...

Pure Pazaak

The sass is legendary.

He wasn't an edgebot, but he was far more antagonistic towards biological life than the bot in Rogue One was. I can see him inspiring that bot, but the inspiration appears to be more in spirit than in direct reference since the Rogue One bot shares his tendency towards callous commentary and being individualistic, but not his exact personality or mannerisms.

Everyone in my cinema was cracking up every time he said something
>that vague reference to Grievous and implying he's droid jesus
Wonderful.

This. They may as well just make a KOTOR movie.
>>15029025
The comparison appears to rest mostly on similarity in design, because they both wear masks and cloaks. It's a pretty superficial similarity.

What was it? I must have not caught it.

Actually, check out the lore for Ren. It's implied he got his mask design based on a historical document ABOUT Darth Revan.
>>15030211
He clubs people in the head with his fists.
>>15030933
There is no lore about his mask design in universe that I can see. I see interviews about the mask design as a movie prop, that it was based on Vader's helmet (which makes sense frankly) and was designed to catch the light and reflect light as well as be like Vader's helm and I see speculation from fans as to the origins of the Knights of Ren and their outfits, but I don't see any in universe history as to Ren's mask. Not even on Wookiepedia, and those guys are pretty anal about cataloging even minor details.

> based on Vader's helmet
How do you even fuck up that badly that you make a mask based on Vader's that ends up looking nothing like it?
No wonder Vader's scenes in Rogue One will be the pinnacle of nu-Star Wars.

There's always something about humanoid droids that makes them look... off. I suppose some of them would be based on alien races, but even then K2-SO just looks unsettling with his too-long, too-thin limbs and dead-eyed skull face.
I guess it's intentional design considering he was originally an Imperial droid though.

>le quirky quip machine 9000
fixed it for you
So was it robo rape?
>>15031070
Because the entire point would be to design something based off it without aping it exactly? The designer interview even says as much, that it had to look inspired by it, without looking too much like it or people would just complain about that.
>>15027447
I can't look at him without seeing pic related.
