Yes. The GNK-series droids are the most famous among the power droids. Those are literally walking generators and power banks. There is a heavy version PLNK(plunk) series with four legs. Both of which have a flat top, so you can use it to put things on them.
They have been modified as weapons during some encounters. Where they would just walk straight ahead and explode when it collided with something.
There’s also rumours of a “Cult of the Power Droids”. Where a group of gonk robots would show up at night and ask for donations. And the best way to get rid of them, is to say “Gonk. Gonk. Gonk ko kyenga see”, which is apparently so rude it can’t legally be translated to basic(galactic basic standard, aka “english”).
It’s not full canon, only legends. It is from a reference book written by Ben Burtt in 2001. But the first half is written as an in-universe book, so I consider it partly canon. (For reference, he is one of greatest sound designers of all time. He made the lightsaber sounds, Darth Vader’s breathing, etc. In addition he also worked on Indiana Jones, made the “voice” for E.T., WALL-E, R2-D2, etc. He’s the guy who popularized the Wilhelm scream easter egg)

Goddamn I have no idea if you’re making some kind of reference to cult of personality or if I’m just way out of my depth here.
I’m going back to the star trek instances now, where my life makes sense. Enjoy your walking batteries. Enjoy your walking batteries.
