There's a movie I vaguely remember about an android who was on the run, b/c I think he accidentaly killed someone. He called his creator father. I think in the end the creator finds him and has to de-activate him, and wants to hug him goodbye. The android said "Don't Father, you'll feel the metal."

Anyone remember that?

Anyone mentioned the Iron Giant yet?

Was UltraMan a robot?

I don't think so...he's an organic alien. However, robot versions of him have appeared.

Jet Jaguar is a robot though.

Space Giants' Ambassador Magma might look like a robot, but is not.

I'm delighted to see there's still lots of love for C-3PO. He's probably my favorite non-human SW character. I'm used to reading a lot of hate for ol' Goldenrod on most message boards. I think over the years, there's been a tendency to praise only the badass elements of SW and lump Threepio in with the Ewoks and Jar Jar. Even George Lucas has basically identified Threepio as the Jar Jar of the OT.

For me, there's something very lyrical about him that transcends the prissy exterior. He is very Asimov in his manner and design, and his relationship with Luke. And the shots of him in the desert... well, those are what Star Wars is all about.

I like that black 'cyclops' robot from Space Academy that looks like a modified Robby the Robot.

I'm very old school because I guess I have to apply the rank according to how the magic hit me as a kid. I'm an old kid...

1) B-9 Robot. This will always be my favorite robot. No amount of technical wizardry can (for me) replace the charm of this character. He started out intimidating and dangerous, only to become a fellow comrade with a minimum of transition. I like the old school values of a big speaker light to articulate the verbal queues, as well as the treads and internal devices that come out for soil samples, etc. There's so much gadgetry spinning and blinking, it makes for a fun piece to look at.

2) C3P0 - How amazing it was to see this character come to life the first time I saw Star Wars. Simplistic in design, yet infinitely fascinating to watch. For me, C3P0 is the epitome of what defines a humanoid. Robotic in pose and motions, yet seemingly human all at the same time. I credit Anthony Daniels for the magic found here.

3) Cylon Warrior - While borrowing heavily from Star Wars, I found these characters fascinating with the nonstop probing laser eye and electronic vocals. One of the few robots to have an iconic set of sound effects one could instantly recognize.

4) R2D2 - What is there to say? THE robot that managed to bring character and charm to a series of bleeps. Like the B-9, he had his own set of internal gadgets that illustrated his internal mechanisms along with his own set of treads. But of course much more compact and lovable in a different scale.

5) Robby the Robot - Clearly the father of the B-9 robot but with a little less charm and a little more motivation for deceit. A fascinating design but lacking in agility and mobility.
