Gonk or Power Droid?

Always Gonk to me. I still have my little ratchety '77 Kenner Gonk droid. Puts a smile on my face when I pick him up. (I was never sure if it was male or female :rotfl--let's start another poll)
 
I opened it up with no end. Silly, I know, but it was done in jest anyway.

If you voted, Gonk would move ahead further. Don't know why your vote won't show up. Cheating I'm sure... :(
 
The 90's are when attention spans started to get shallow. It makes sense that naming things after the sounds they made was acceptable. I'm surprised it doesn't have an -y after it, just to enhance the markedly juvenile character of the appellation.

Since science fiction in the 70's was a child of the space program, it makes sense that even in a fantasy story, things would be named according to what they are. That would be the rational taxonomical approach.
