Favorite Movie Robot

[JCMach1]

Inspired by timechaser... what is your favorite movie robot...?

When you think about it there are soooooo many...

Here's mine: the Iron Giant

[NewJeffCT]

1. R2D2

[MorningGlow]

11. MG Jr. just saw Star Wars a couple of days ago

He's completely obsessed with R2! Threepio, not so much.

[Roon]

29. Aww! That is so cute!! n.\t

[Roon]

31. My first Robot that I have seen and enjoyed as a toddler

[machI]

2. Huey, Dewey, and Louie from 'Silent Running'

<>

[ghostsofgiants]

3. The Evil Robot Bill and Ted from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

[rcrush]

4. Data

[pokerfan]

22. Another vote for Data

And NDR114 (Andrew):

[Orrex]

39. That Lore-head was the most inexpertly executed prop in tv history

It was so bad that my geek-friends and I debated whether it was "really" supposed to be his double, since it didn't look anything like him!

[pokerfan]

43. They did a much better job with Data's head in "Time's Arrow"

[Orrex]

45. I agree!

And what a cool idea that his head was 400+ years older than the rest of him!

[pokerfan]

48. Yeah, I guess that's true

I liked the Guinan/Picard storyline.

G: Remember the first time we met?
P: Of course.
G: Don't be so sure.

[Orsino]

30. Well, sure.

Gotta be Data. No other screen android has ever been explored so thoroughly and so rewardingly.

Trouble is, that was mostly done on the TV show, with little of substance ever shown in the movies.

[Swede]

5. "Robot" from Lost in Space was kinda cool.

[Deja Q]

6. If direct-to-DVD movies count, then Bender gets my vote!

:D

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

44. Somehow that isn't a big suprise...

:hi:

[mitchum]

7. Gregory Peck

[Tom Kitten]

8. Maria from Metropolis

The first!

[JCMach1]

18. Still one of the sxxxiest...

Even after all these years

[FloridaJudy]

9. Gort

Klaatu Barata Nikto.




eta: the original, natch.

[FloridaJudy]

10. Oh, and Tom Servo and Crow take honorable mention

[Mz Pip]

12. Robby from

"Forbidden Planet"

A classic sci-fi movie, one of the best, even after over 50 years.

[Lethe]

13. old Bob

[DS1]

16. One of my options. Good old Slim Pickens

I went with the evil red one

[flvegan]

14. T-800 (Terminator)

[billyskank]

51. I expect it was sealed with the expanding boobs scene.

[DS1]

15. Maximillion, the floating food processor which ends up overseeing Hell

[YankeyMCC]

17. Marvin

although I guess technically he was called an Android, he really was just a robot :)

Robby from Forbidden Planet would be my other choice if Marvin's 'android' label disqualifies him :)

[Epiales]

19. Rachael from Blade Runner

[Lethe]

28. yes

[harmonicon]

20. R2D2

or possibly R5D4

[Lethe]

26. I prefer RJD2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq38_MFTEm0

get dat loot yo!

[bif]

21. The ones in "Silent Running".

[Shardik]

23. David & Gigolo Joe in A.I.

And from the tele, you have to love the Daleks (who are really only part robot)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

61. and don't forget the teddy bear --

[leeroysphitz]

62. "Teddy" rules.

David: Is fifty years a long time?

Teddy: I don't think so.

[dysfunctional press]

24. randy quaid in pluto nash?

:shrug:

[WI_DEM]

25. Charlton Heston or William Shatner, I can't decide which.

[peekaloo]

38. .

:rofl:

Heston fer sure. Although 'Denny Crane' seems to be programmed similarly to the ape hatin' Chuckles.

[Mike 03]

27. Huey and Dewey in "Silent Running". They may not be the most advanced

or glamourous, but they broke my heart in a good way. I can't watch that movie without blubbering like a baby.

[gristy]

32. the lost in space robot

[Mad_Dem_X]

33. I can't believe that nobody's mentioned this guy:

[JCMach1]

34. Isn't HAL technically a computer?

[Mad_Dem_X]

47. Hmmm...you're right. Whoops.

[JCMach1]

52. Although, he did move mechanical items against the crew!

HAL broke all three of Asimov's rules:

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

[MrSlayer]

35. R5-D4

He behaved as a movie robot should.





Strange how he was an R-2 Unit yet was named R-5.

[laconicsax]

55. R2 and R5 were different production models by the same company.

Industrial Automation produced several different R-series astromech droids.

The R2 series was the second (and most successful) production model and R5 series was the fifth.

[MrSlayer]

64. Yes.

But Luke refers to R5-D4 as an R2 unit.

[laconicsax]

66. Two possibilities: not mutually exclusive

Possibility 1:
Luke is a hick from a backwater planet and can't tell astromech droids apart, but knows that the R2 is a popular model.
Sub-possibility 1:
Astromech droids on Tatooine are generically referred to as R2 units the same way that in some parts of the US, soft drinks are generically referred to as 'Coke.'
Possibility 2:
George Lucas wrote a line, then decided later that he didn't mind if the type of droid was changed, even if it meant a continuity error.

I looked on Wookiepedia and they said this:

Luke refers to R5-D4 as an "R2 Unit". Whether or not this was an intentional generalization on the part of the character, or actor, or scriptwriter, is unclear. It seems obvious, however, that R5-D4 is actually an 'R5 unit'.

[bluesbassman]

36. ED 209 - Robocop

Just that little problem with stairs.:rofl:

[Blarch]

37. Of course...

General Grievous, from Star Wars.

[Orrex]

40. Woody Allen in Sleeper

[Bertha Venation]

41. Number 5 is alive!

[TommyO]

I saw "Favorite Movie Robot"

and immediately thought of the Iron Giant as well. Brad Bird did great work with this one.

[TommyO]

42. I saw "Favorite Movie Robot"

and immediately thought of the Iron Giant as well. Brad Bird did great work with this one.

[stuntcat]

46. R2

:loveya: I FREAKED when I first saw the mailbox.

[Danger Mouse]

49. Iron Giant, too, but also Tima from the anime 'Metropolis' and Box from 'Logan's Run'

Tima:


Box:


Tima and Iron Giant for being heartbreaking (seriously, try watching either and not blubbering like a little baby, good luck with that. funny, they both feature little boys befriending innocent robots that don't realize they were designed to be killers...heh...but Tima is a heck of a lot cuter)
Box for being completely ridiculous. How you can see him and not burst out laughing is beyond me.

[lame54]

50. Chuck Norris...

in any movie he's acted in

[JCMach1]

53. My fascination with robots began with reading 'Adam Link, Robot' when

I was about 8yrs. old. It was the first sci-fi book I ever read.

[redqueen]

54. Is a replicant a robot?

If so, then Roy Batty.

[Rob H.]

56. Robby, hands down

There's even a guy named Fred Barton who specializes in making full-scale replicas of him and other movie robots, should you happen to have an extra pile of cash (they start at $17,000!) laying around.

[InvisibleTouch]

57. Megatron.

Though more famous for his TV career, he was in "Transformers the Movie" - and I mean the real one from 1986, not the worthless remake.

[Archae]

58. Nah, Unicron!

Unicorn ate whole PLANETS!
(And rebuilt Megatron into Galvatron)

[InvisibleTouch]

59. But Megatron had a hell of a lot more charisma. ;) n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

60. the teddy bear in AI

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

63. WALL-E

Cute and funny

[Danger Mouse]

65. Holy shit, I have Wall-e and EVE in my sigline...and I didn't mention either.

I fail. :cry:
