Few GRBs clearly present distinct High-Energy (HE) component that evolve independent ofthe usual Band function that describes the prompt keV-emission. This component can be longor short lasting compared to the burst duration. However, most of models only explain thelong duration HE component. We have developed a leptonic model on the external shockframework to describe the HE components. We propose that the short HE component that fallsin the MeV regime in coincidence with the prompt phase and, the second long lastingGeV-emission could be understood as synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) emission from thereverse and forward shock respectively. This model requires a magnetized jet and a reverseshock in the thick shell case. This model already has been proven in GRB 980923 and GRB090926A, the former with a short duration MeV-component and the latter with both long GeV-and short MeV- HE components. All fluxes, energies and durations are consistent with theobserved values. Here, we apply this model to GRB 940217 that presented similarities withGRB 090926A and GRB 980923.
