So you automatically know who my favourite Robot is from the thread title, obviously...
So who/what's your favourite?

Absolutely R2D2. One of the most spirited and brave robots I've ever seen, and the best deadpan snarker to be found in either galaxy.

Oh, wait....we forgot the Love Bot!
Wonder if there woulda been other robot-y characters as the series went on...*sigh...

I'll assume we are talking pure robots here and not creatures/beings in robotic suits, armour etc. (i.e. Daleks, cyborgs, computers etc don't count).
My selections would be (in no order):
K-9
Just because I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. He could sometimes be annoying.
Marvin
Depression was never funnier.
Kryten
Is there a funnier robot. So many great moments to pick from.
Wall-E
The lovestruck trash collector who showed humans the way forward.
R2-D2
It still gets me when he gets shot by the Jawas. Ultimately responsible for giving us the Original Trilogy. He's probably my overall favourite. Even the prequels couldn't ruin him.
Plus I'll always have a soft spot for V.I.N.Cent and B.O.B. from The Black Hole. Especially B.O.B. I loved my little figure of him as a kid.

*Squick*
You know, considering I've heard the Firefly-verse love bots described as having all the functional and conversational capacity of furniture... I think a body would have to clean out the bot THEMSELVES afterward.
Maybe if it was a male robot you could avoid that. Hey! Did I ever mention my crazy idea about a Firefly episode where some of the crew have their appearances used for some lines of love-bots, and the crew vows to destroy all the robots before they hit the market?

Old B.O.B. and V.I.N.CENT are my favorites.
Here's my micro versions of my runners up (not incliding R2 or Twiki) Robbie the Robot and B5.
