Gonky (Clone Force 99)

Gonky was a defective GNK-series power droid, who served Clone Force 99 aboard the Marauder. Wrecker frequently used the droid as a weightlifting aid. As a defective unit, Gonky's power unit could not fully charge. The enhanced clone Omega used the droid as a cot for a brief time. Additionally, she spoke to Gonky on occasion, showing him her trooper doll. When the Marauder was boarded by enemy Zygerrians, Omega told the droid to hide, though he simply powered down.
Omega tried to fix Gonky's power unit to allow him to charge fully, but Hunter told her it was no use since he was a defective unit. The young clone comforted Gonky by saying that they were all defective. During the Bad Batch's mission to Daro, Gonky provided extra power to the ship when it was attacked by Imperial V-wing starfighters, but when a second group of V-wings opened fire, Gonky short circuited.
During a mission to Ciddarin Scaleback's mine on Ipsidon, the Marauder got stolen by a thief and miner named Benni Baro, who had disabled the ship's transponder, to prevent the Bad Batch from tracking it. But since Gonky was left aboard the Marauder, the Batch was able to track him, in order to reclaim them at Mokkotown.
A while later after being through many events with the Bad Batch, Gonky was on Pabu as the group prepared to leave the island. He was with Wrecker while he was loading supplies, and was saved from destruction by Wrecker when CX-2 blew the Marauder to pieces in order to keep the Batch from leaving.
When Omega eventually left Pabu in her ship to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Gonky accompanied her.
