[Mikimouse]

1. Goddard rules!

n/t

[Tom_Foolery]

2. Rosie On The Jetsons n/t

[FDRrocks]

3. Roberto

[Gildor Inglorion]

4. How could one not love C3PO?

"It's against my programming to impersonate a deity."

[wryter2000]

5. You forgot Crowe

It was going to be a hard choice for me between Bender and Crowe. Since you left Crowe off, my choice was easy.

Bite my shiny metal ass, mammal

[cheezus]

6. As Data has pointed out, he's not a robot

so I had to go with Bender.

[Deja Q]

7. Marvin's not a robot either...

:D

(And Kryten is technically a mechanoid, but that's another glib word for android, robot, blow-up doll, et cetera... :D )

[muriel_volestrangler]

27. Marvin is a robot from his head to the diodes down his left hand side

"Thank you the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation," said Marvin and trudged desolately up the gleaming curved corridor that stretched out before them. "'Let's build robots with Genuine People Personalities', they said. So they tried it out with me. I'm a personality prototype. You can tell can't you?"

Ford and Arthur muttered embarrassed little disclaimers.

[Deja Q]

8. Okay, Twiki and K-9 I understand, but...

no votes for Kryten?

This is Kryten from Red Dwarf.

Not Kryten from Buck Rogers. :puke:

[Deja Q]

16. Kewl, somebody did vote for Kryten!

It wasn't me, I'm rather fond of Bender... :D

[Devils Advocate NZ]

9. What happened to R2?

That little bugger has balls of steel! Literally!

[Deja Q]

11. So that's why C3PO hung around him all the time!

I knew they were gay, I just knew it!! :D

Actually, they broke up. Balls of steel or not, C3PO gave up with the little drama queen and had a complete metal breakdown... :D :D

[Dark]

12. Yea! What the hell happened to R2-D2?

I loved that little tin can!

[SPQR]

10. Huey, Dewey and Louie

from Silent Running. That final image of the robot tending the plants alone out in space is pretty heartbreaking.

[Twillig]

13. What about Gort?

Is he truly a robot?

Unlike bender he really can Kill All Humans.

[retread]

14. R. Daneel Olivaw!!!!

*

[NewHampster]

18. just what I also posted - Daneel is the only choice

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. I can't believe he isn't on the list

First name that came to mind even before I clicked on the topic thread.

Then a desperate search through the options, and no R. Daneel.

What the (@&#? :wtf:

[CrownPrinceBandar]

15. Kiss My Shiny Metal ASS!

[NewHampster]

17. R. Daneel Olivaw - Master of Disguise and Master of the Empire

Do you not know of R. Daneel Olivaw?

Does nobody read Isaac Asimov anymore?



You Scifi buffs need to take a trip into the Galaxian Empire which for the unread begins in theaters this year with I Robot, staring Will Smith and hopefully continues through to the greatest SciFi series of all time, Foundation. Just as most modern fantasy owes its roots to Lord of The Rings, SciFi and detective TV owe much to the Robot series and Foundation.

The First Law of Robotics:
"A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."

The Second Law of Robotics:
"A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law."

The Third Law of Robotics:
"A robot must protect his own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws."

[Ratty]

19. What a tough vote!

You listed some really great robots! The sign of an extremely good DU poll!

I finally went with K9, but it was a tough decision.

[Deja Q]

23. Well, one poll out of the 50 thousand million I've made isn't too bad!

:D

[TN al]

20. How could you leave Astro Boy off?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

21. Jet Jaguar

From "Godzilla vs. Megalon". I've heard he looks like a cross between Jack Nicholson and Ultraman.
He even programs himself!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. Where the hell is R2 goddamn D2?

J'accuse!

[solinvictus]

25. Bender

I love that self-serving smart ass!

[Deja Q]

26. He gets the best quotes!

Bender rocks...

"Look what I won from a tourist's pocket!"

"I'll build my own lunar module... with blackjack... and hookers!"

"This week I'm on 'Caught on Tape 3' because of what I did in the coffee pot!"

Essentially, any time when he steals, talks about booze, talks about hookers, or let's just face it any time he's given screen time, I'm ROTFLMAO!!!!!

[Lori Price CLG]

28. I don't know, but LEAST favorite NON-fictional robot is BUSH.

Non-fictional robot Bush needs to bump into a talented robot, fictional or not... LOL!
:)-Lori

[terrya]

29. Hymie the robot from "Get Smart"

My favorite...though I wish they didn't name him "Hymie"

[Deja Q]

35. Good one!

It's been years since I've seen that show. It was very popular at the time, I'm amazed it's not out on DVD. I've old nick at nite copies, but they're syndicated...

"Hymie" is an odd name though... I wonder why that became his name...

[moof]

30. Oops, sorry, you said fictional.

[cedahlia]

31. Hello??? Vicki from Small Wonder, anyone?

:evilgrin:

[bloodyjack]

32. ROBOCOP

DUH

[baldguy]

33. The Gunfighter in Westworld

[Endangered Specie]

34. Even though Data is an android and not a robot...

The trek option always gets my vote
