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_.

You forgot the best one.  When he got his feet fried in Jaba's Droid Torture
Chamber.  By the way the reason that this caused Gonk pain is because the heat
caused coolant to be discharged and started him overheating.

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...?
