Mine is the Lost in Space Robot. Funny and deadly, he had it all (except he couldn'r run really fast...).
Interestingly, the re-designed LIS Robot for the movie version would be my 2nd choice.

"Destroy Robinson family!" always sends chills up my spine

What metalic monstrosity is your fav?

I've always had a 'thing' for Data.

Other than him, my 3 fave roboty things are:
Ash
R2D2
Vincent

Originally, (when I was younger) it was probably a tough choice between R2D2 or one of those hovering robots from Disney's Black Hole (I only have vague memories of them now though, it all seems so long ago...)

Now I'd have to say R2D2, though I also liked Kolob from an old TV series called "Children of the Dog Star" though he was more of a space probe....(does anyone else remember him?)

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die

I'm mostly partial to those robots from the Mystery Science Theatre. Just because they make me laugh--so I'll also have to go with Marvin from Douglas Adams' Hitchiker's Guide novels & movie--for the same reason.
When I was a kid--I loved Lost in Space too, Chrisisall. Sometimes (rarely) I'll start slinging my arms around & shout "danger,danger"--& my husband will laugh--but the kids just look at me like their mom has truly lost her mind. I get the same look from them when I tell them "out damn spots, out I say!"--as we are leaving to go out somewhere.Ha!
Cheers.

Rommie, the Avatar from(*cough) Andromeda, played by the sexy Lexa Doig, has a certain appeal.

I became very fond of Naomi Armitage from Armitage III. The scene where she rings the church bell for her dead friend still makes me teary.

Other than that, it would have to be Bender!

Fry: Why do robots need to drink alcohol?
Bender: (slurring) I don't need to drink! I can quit any time I wanna!

Hee hee hee!

I am torn between The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager (gotta love Robert Picardo) and number Six from Battlestar Galactica. I thinkt he Doctor wins, just a little, little bit.

Please do not turn this into spoilerama.

I am only 7 episodes into the second season of Battlestar Gallatica (I do not have the cable)but my favorite "robot" if an evolved Cylon counts, would be whichever one is the best hidden ultimate betrayer on that show. I already have several suspects - and I so want to be surprised.

See how I'm not punching him, I think I've grown!
