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...?
