- Songsteel material makes HK-42 highly durable from blaster fire and lightsaber strikes.

- Can pursue targets in space environments effectively due to Jetpack.
- HK-42 has four Shoto lightsabers built into his lower arms for close range combat weapons and for fighting Jedi, two in each wrist.
- Joints and Motors allow HK-42 to spin his torso around for fast rapid attacks
- HK-42's arms can split up from 2 to 4, the shoto lightsabers being in the wrist of each one.
- Across his arms, His arms have been thickened to make it to where lightsabers can not cut off his arms.
- The extra weight allows for a more bludgeoning blow with standard hand-to-hand attacks.
- Slow movement due to increased weight of upgraded body
- Can be out manoeuvred in close quarter locations due to size
- Is unable to fit in smaller Fighters, the smallest he could fit into is a large Gunboat class fighter
- Jetpack can be shot at for maximum damage to HK-42, and to shut that function down.
- Is easy to pick out in a crowd due to, again, the increased height.
- His arms are a bit more heavier than the rest of the body due to the thicker arms, which makes him slightly top heavy.
- His New thicker arms cause his attacks to be slower, even with the added limp separation function and the torso spinning ability.
ue to the material the body being made out of Songsteel, HK-42 is capable of taking many hits from different forms of combat, blaster rifles and lightsabers. A built-in Jetpack in his back not only allows HK-42 to move more efficiently in 0 or Low gravity environments, but can be used as a weakness, if damaged enough, can cause a small explosion, leaving a sizeable hole into the Droid's back, which can also be exploited for maximum damage. Due to the increased size and weight of the new body, HK-42 can sometimes be outmanoeuvred in small quarter areas, such as tight hallways or small cargo holds, for examples. HK-42's size also keeps him in a position that does not favour hiding in the crowd, as he can be spotted easily by his body towering over most other sentient species. His Arms have 6 fingers, which can separate into 4 arms with 3 fingers each, allowing more attacks with the same weapons. Across most of his arms, HK-42 has thicker arms replace the original thickness of his arms to keep them from being cut up by Lightsabers.
