Ya know, I'm still waiting on quantifiable feats for HK. As I recall someone was gonna post em, but I don't recalling seeing anything that would jump out. Only thing that I know is...
- He was sent out by Darth Revan to assassinate targets, which is pretty standard MO for...well an assassin droid.
- He was able to convince HK-51s to work with him
...that's really it as far as things go that have him have quantifiable feats...before someone brings up, he fought against the strike teams in TOR
Back up....we don't know how those went down, so they can't really be used, because...what happens in game, doesn't necessarily happen in canon.
If taking SWG into account...he took out some old CIS droids, I believe a SBD and a Droideka? That's really his most impressive feat that I see.
Tbh I find 47 to be overrated due to his personality, yes it's fun, I found it fun the first few times...but then it just got boring.
As he actually stands combat wise?...Not particularly great, he has knowledge of how to fight Jedi, ok....that's all find and dandy but having knowledge isn't always going to mean 100% guarantee that it'll work for someone in a practical scenario, has many things could be different or things could change.
Ah...sorry for the long rant lol, didn't mean to go that far.

I just shit my pants. I never thought it was needed, but do I really need to actually make a HK-47 respect thread? Looks like you read the summary of Wookieepedia and deemed it final.
Actually I was going off what I remember/read about HK, not from the Wookiee at all.
If he has impressive feats, that are actually noted and can be quantified, then by all means show. Cause I haven't really seen anything impressive from 47, no matter how many times people put him in battles on various forums, no one seems to put up forth anything other than what I already mentioned.
@Emperordmb LOL! In all serious though, HK should win this quite easily. He has the arsenal power to destroy entire buildings. Let the wanking begin!
"HK-47 was designed for combat, but he is far more autonomous than a mere battle droid. In the years since his last memory wipe, personality quirks have developed in his programming that border on the psychotic. This has only served to make him an even more efficient assassin. A self-sentient killing machine, HK-47, as is obvious merely from his menacing appearance, is far more than an ordinary combat droid. With a devastating arsenal of high-powered weaponry, a ruthless and single-minded pursuit of its termination targets, and a pre-programmed disregard for all organic life, this Hunter-Killer model is one of the most dangerous assassins in the galaxy. Rumored to have been created by Czerka Corp. to eliminate the heads of rival corporations, HK-47 is quite capable of laying waste to an entire building in an effort to dispose of a single target, as he has demonstrated on more than one occasion in the past. This wanton carnage, combined with the tendency of the droid’s previous owners to come to rather gruesome ends, has led most civilized planets to issue explicit bans on all HK-model assassin droids. But on the dangerous worlds of the Outer Rim, having a merciless, flame-throwing engine of destruction at your side can be quite useful ... until it decides you’re the next target." --Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Prima Guide
Yeah, I'll probably make a respect thread for him. Major standouts are (besides his arsenal which is insane):
• Malak had enough faith in HK-47 that he could successfully kill Meetra Surik.
• He hunted down a lot of Jedi during the Jedi Civil War, which is impressive.
• The False Emperor flashpoint implies he put up a good fight in the Foundry.
• "HK-47's stabbing is nothing but artfully precise" and is also "tough as nails."
HK-47 received a shit ton of accolades and feats in the above quote alone to put him above Kolar though, IMO.
