Heh. Have you seen the MST3K blooper where Crow's head catches fire and kinda melt/explodes?

Thank you CS,

1812 has got to be amongst the best little metal space bugs ever to be always getting himself in the s***.

He's my fave too.

I kinda liked that one from Buck Rodgers, the round plate like one, at least, he hated the beedy beedy beedy robot, so we had something in common.

Two of my faves...

Frank, from Argentosoma (all of the robots from that series are awesome).

Melfina! Can't fly the Outlaw Star without her! (And there's the whole River association from way back.)

Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?

Sonny from I, Robot. Just melted my heart.


Sonny:"They all look like me. But none of them are me. "
Susan Calvin: "That's right. You are unique. "
Sonny: [pause] "Will it hurt?"

Ack! I wanted to cry when he said that!

People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

Actually, I've got two favorites and this is probably going to age me.
My two favorite robots are:
1)Robby the Robot from the movie "Forbidden Planet" who also guested on an episode of "Lost in Space"
2) Gort from the movie "The day the Earth stood still"
and to the person who mentioned Rhomy of "Andromeda" played by Lexia Doig- you're right she was very good too!

I'd have to say Dog from Halflife 2 if for no other reason than no one has mentioned him yet, and the fact that he can kick some serious arse. Other than that I'd have to go with Bender and the bots from MST3k. I like my bots with a sense of humor ;)

Ironically enough I'm an ABC warrior.
"ABC Warrior!

In bars frequented by colossal death robots, you're always the quiet guy at the back who no-one ever bothers. And for good reason. You've fought in several nuclear wars, could beat the sun in a staring match, and have a chin larger than many articles of furniture. Morals are not a concept you understand, but strangely enough, nobody ever questions your judgement. Usually because they're dead. Even Judge Dredd wets himself when you turn up. Grrrr."

eh kinda fits my personality actually, I'm one of the speak softly and carry a big stick types.
One day
One plan
One army of Browncoats

On June 23, we aim to misbehave.

3. Muffit (the Original BSG)
4. K-9 (Doctor Who)
5. The original Cylons (By your command)
6. Number 6 (who is really a 10)
7. Robot from Lost in Space
8. Data (but not movie Data)
9. Vincent and Bob ('The Black Hole'...always had a soft spot for poor old Bob.)
10. The Terminator (He'll be baack, the energizer bunny of killer robots.)
