DESCRIPTION

Droid-fighting is easily one of the most popular pastimes on all of Mahporeem, second only in popularity to the sport of Podracing. The idea behind Droid-fighting is simple: two droids that were not originally designed for combat engage in battle with one another until one or both of them are destroyed. This means that most Class-four droids are directly prohibited from engaging in any sort of Droid-fighting.

As such, the droids that are permitted to engage in the sport tend to be heavily modified, as is the case with the Gladiatorial Gonk Droid. These GNK-series Power Droids still retain the ability to act as a mobile power generator when needed, though this is no longer their primary purpose. Instead, these droids are expected to fight other droids with their circular saw arm and swinging axe arm.

When suitably damaged, the Gladiatorial Gonk Droid can self destruct itself by overloading its battery charging system, taking out anything that is to slow to escape its blast radius. Of course, this is generally a move of desperation as like all GNK-series droids, the Gladiatorial Gonk Droid is incredibly slow itself and is easy enough to avoid. That being said, this can catch opponents off guard, as most would never expect a GNK-series droid to act as an explosive device.
