[Tournament – The Boonta Gauntlet – Mechanic Menace] Thonk

Thonk the Slaughtercore

Thonk – One syllable. One thud. One crushed opponent.

Originally a standard GNK-series power droid in service at an industrial meat-packing facility on Arkanis, Thonk was never meant to fight. He powered conveyor belts and freezer units in a place soaked with blood, steam, and noise. But after the fall of the Empire, chaos crept into the Outer Rim—and with it, opportunity. A rogue engineer named Drellik Vohn stole the sluggish droid during a shutdown riot, gutted his core systems, and rebuilt him for the pit.

Refitted with shock-stabilized armor plating, hydraulic stomper legs, and a repurposed meat cleaver arm, Thonk was reborn in fire and blood. Now known as Thonk the Slaughtercore, he became a brutal fan-favorite in droid deathmatches across the fringe worlds. He doesn’t speak. He doesn’t feel. He only walks forward—and when he does, something ends with a *thonk*.
