Topic: HK-47 vs. IG-88

I'd love to see this fight :)

Who do you think would win?

This is kind of hard to figure out. Both are assassins, and both are self sentient. They're both equally smart, in my opinion, so brain power's not a problem. Plus, both are walking weapon factories, so fire power isn't a problem either.

I'd have to go with HK. He's a psycho, plus he's more agile than IG, he can probably out maneuver him.  IG's a bit clunky.

I vote for IG-88 because the only person I remember defeating one was Boba Fett.

My vote goes to IG-88 because their were actually four of them so I like the odds of 4 to 1.

IG is smarter than Hk i dont remember any other driods actually taking control of the second death star and formulating a plan to take over the galaxy. IG is also very agile at the start of his story in BHW he was fast enough to dodge the attacks or make sure the shots hit him were the armor was thickest.

Hell yeah

I vote IG-88 only because Hk-47 got taken down by T3-M4, and i think he is a little too cocky for his own good.

But HK-47 had his "offspring" of the whole FACTORY of HK-51s.  Not to mention he's been blown up who knows HOW many times and he keeps coming back, so my money's on the Meatbag-hatin' machine.

I vote for HK-47 because he is really good in KotOR, and I don't think IG-88 was that great even though I read his story in Tales of the Bounty Hunters. And wizardofcars, the battle is only IG-88 vs. HK-47, not all four IG's against HK-47. Lord Revan would probably also vote for HK-47. Hey, did anyone notice that HK-47 sounds like the gun AK-47?

Appo, i'm 99.999999% sure thats where the name came from =/

And although HK is completely awesome, easily one of the greatest characters ever, he just doesn't have the reasoning capacity that IG-88 has. Plus, 88 is more than 47...

IG-88 would have slaughtered HK-47 if technology in Star Wars followed a logical form of progression, but for some strange reason...everything stays the same for centuries and centuries (or close enough anyway.)

As much as I love HK, I lean towards IG-88 in the fight because HK was always following someone else's orders while IG-88 brought about his own self awareness and served no one...ever. But they're both awesome.

I don't know a lot about IG-88 so I'm more inclined to go with HK. Besides HK would have to stand for Hunter-Killer surely? (Ah a Terminator reference) :D

what if HK stood for Heckler & Koch?  /shifty

who would win in a fight?  i don't know.

personality?  hk wins that one.  ig is cold and boring.  hk at least makes your last few moments interesting with his rapier wit.

Yeah, I like it when he says, "Statement: I am ready to serve, master."

[quandry] i'm not really sure if you're being sarcastic or not...  if you are, that droll wit isn't translating well across the internets.  if not, rock on.

[elated response] It appears I am not the only one who finds this style of talk amusing.

[Reply] It appears you aren't, meatbag.
[Opinion] HK-47 kicks IG-88's shiny metal butt!
[End of post] That is all, meatbags.

Lol there was no need for that lol. Hk wouldnt stand a chance aginst a far superior droid.

Irritated Answer: Oh, Yes there was. Must I remind you that HK-47 survived for 3,939 odd years. Meatbag.

star wars galaxies doesn't count.  that game was so messed up not just in playability, but in continuity too.

Statement: I wasn't wrong when I said that Revan would agree with me.
Idea: HK-47 fans, let's all call IG fans meatbags on this thread so that they will become so sick of it that they will become HK fans like us. J/k, j/k! But you IG-88 fans still are meatbags.
Opinion: I still say that HK beats IG any day! Also, IG-88 looks kinda stupid to me. His head looks too weird.

The stupidity of his head has nothing to do with this. So what your saying is that technolegy gets worse over time?

Answer: No, that is not what he said, he merely stated that HK could probably beat IG.
Statement: Although I do have to agree with him about his head. It's a re-used cantina prop.

Question: What's wrong with liking IG-88? Fine if we're meatbags, then you're fruitbags!

Yeah you tell em Gustavo! I'll hide in the corner. But anywho hk-47 didnt nearly overtake the universe did he?

Lol. Anyways I can;t answer your question because I don't know much about HK-47, other than the fact that IG-88 would totally blow him apart into spare lawnmower parts.

ig-88 did a pretty poor job of taking over the galaxy.  hk-47 didn't really want that, he just wanted to bask in the joy that is wanton slaughter of sloshing meatbags.

Yes but you must still accept the undeniable superiority that is IG-88, fruitbags.

Question: Then why did IG-88 fail his quest in taking over the galaxy?

Statement:And correct me if I'm wrong, meatbags, but IG-88 was also destroyed in the Death Star when the rebels blew it up.

Question: Was HK ever destroyed, meatbags?

The only way that you could say that that makes him un-superior is if HK-47 tried to conqure the galaxy. Also, IG-88 would have sucseeded in his task if it were not for the rebellion, which he could not have accounted for.

IG-88 knew that the war was going on. He was just un-superior to HK-47 because he didn't account for everything in his plans. That shows that IG-88 isn't as intelligent as HK because HK never made a mistake that big.

Did HK-47 try anything that big.

\

Well, he did start the Droid Rebellion and survived for more than 4,000 years.

IG-88 was an idiot for taking over the Death Star, period.  Even if he HAD successfully brought it under his command, all he would have done was make himself a huge target for the Rebellion AND the Empire, who would have thrown all their resources to stop him.  Not to mention the Death Star still probably required some human crew to maintain it.

yeah, taking over the death star?  pretty poor planning.  not only did the rebels have the plans for it, so did the guys that made it.  that would be the empire.  ig-88's victory wouldn't have lasted very long.

How could IG have known the rebels plans to throw everything they had at the Imperials? It was not a poor attempt it nearly succeded and if you think about all the droids that were ready to be activated and used for battle they could've had a chance. IG-88 makes huge calculations in seconds hk is nowhere near that smart. Ig could have used droids to man the Death star. If used corrctly IG could've used the Death star to destroy a lage part of the imperial fleet as they would not expect it.

Exactly my point. Even if they did destroy the Death Star, 1: IG-88 could download himself to another body, and 2: He took over many droid factories. Even without the Death Star, you would still have to deal with a lot of droids, so many it could've been a 3 way war: IG-88 army, Empire, and the Rebels.

so the empire would have re-commissioned the grand army.  clones'o'plenty!  they worked out pretty well the last time they were put up against a droid army.

That's exactly what HK did.

Hk captured a droid factory and spread his droids throuhgt the galaxy and planned to turn them against there owners?

Well first off they need DNA from Boba Fett if you want almost identical results. Secondly, Palpatine stopped using Fett clones a while ago, and there isn't anyone else who would be a better clone template then Jango or Boba. Anyway, that situation you mentioned would be interesting though. Clone Wars 2.....cool.

you don't think that uncle palpy had a supply of jango dna hiding somewhere? or that the kaminoans didn't?  after reading through some of the EU stuff, i got the impression that he was something of a pack rat.

Yeah, he did.

Wow sounds like they are running out of ideas if they did exactly the same thing.

Question: So now do we all agree that HK-47 is the superior droid, meatbags?
Opinion: Even if IG is better, HK is still cooler.
Question: Does IG-88 ever say, "Let's find something to kill to cheer ourselves up," meatbags?

I say HK. He's cooler, for one thing (anyone ever downloaded the audio clip of him interrogating an HK-50? Or him mocking the former crew members?) For another, IG-88 is focused on galactic domination. HK is focused on assassination. Therefore, HK has a better mind (?) for combat.

Query: They have a clip of that?  Where?

So what if he's cooler IG is a far superior droid its nothing about coolness.

Statement: While inherent "coolness" does nothing for combat ability, HK-47 is a far superior droid due to his use of many different and devious tactics.  As opposed to IG-88 whose sole tactic seems to be "Try and blast it and if I die one of my 30 bazillion other copies will finish the job."

hey  Kyr'am_Ordo!  who is HK-47?.......I've never heard of him before??!   :(

HK-47 is a droid from "Knights of the Old Republic;" a video game. Try searching Google.
