Same with BSG Cylons. IIRC in the original series they were a reptilian alien race in battle armor a la Stormtroopers, and then they made the robots to do the work for them in their own image, but in the new series they're all completely mechanical aside from the skinjobs.

[–]unrealious 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I thought in the original Cylons had been a reptilian race who admired the human form, created a race of robots based on humans, then those robots rebelled, killed off all their masters and were now fighting the humans.

Anyway that's what I remember Adama (Lorne Green) telling Boxey (Noah Hathaway).

[–]inkandpixelclub 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I had thought of that, but there's nothing explicitly saying that this is a picture of only robots and not cyborgs as well.

[–]ShampocalypseWOW 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They aren't really cyborgs either. They're just nasty little genetic freaks inside their ships/mechs/wheelchairs.

[–]EtanSivad 7 points8 points ago

Neither is the tin woodman - the wicked witch cursed his ax so every time he took a swing he would accidentally chop a limb off. Since it's oz, no one can die. He had every piece of his body replaced on at a time. Arms, legs, torso and finally his head.

so really, he's just a cyborg.

Tik-tok is cool though.

I can't remember where that comes up, but I don't think it's supposed to be a big secret. I think it's just one of those things they thought up well after the creation of the Daleks way back when.

Yes well neither are The Terminator (18) or Kryten (38) their both cyborgs.

[–]ShampocalypseWOW 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The Terminator isn't really a cyborg. It's a robot with a costume on. It's just a disguise and isn't really part of him, which is why he has no problem removing the skin around his arm like it's a glove. And Kryten is pretty much the same, being a robot with little bits of organics. A cyborg is a person/organism that is augmented by mechanical devices which are, in some way, bound permanently to the person/organism.

[–]chewxy 19 points20 points ago

I see these: Lost in Space robot
Terminator
Maria from Metropolis
SAINT from Short Circuit
C3Po & R2
Rodney Copperbottom & various robots from Robots
Android Ted and Bill
Matrix Sentinels
2x Marvin
2x Cylon
Klaatu Barada Nikto
Andrew Martin (bicentinnal man)
The female robot from Flubber
THX 1138's cop
Bender Bending Rodriguez & various robots from Futurama
Sonny from iRobot
Channi
Robby the Robot
Gog
The Robot from Power Rangers
Dalek
2x Cybermen
Robot Butler from Sleepers
Tin Man
Wall E and EVE
Rosie the maid
2x K-9 (the australian TV series K9 was an abomination unto men)
JJ Abrams' Bad Robot
Android logo
ATLAS from Portal 2
Henry the Vacuum Cleaner

These are the ones I'm unsure: Vincent (the red one at the topleft, first row)
Ro-Man (from Robot Monster? next to Channi)
Top left, 2nd robot looks damn familiar, can't name names
the Logan's Run robot (under the yellow robot from Flubber)
I think the american flagged face robot is from a indie movie called MARK 13 or something

Android Ted and Bill

The good robot us's, not to be confused with the evil robot us's.

[–]gabrielsburg 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Klaatu Barada Nikto => This robot's name is Gort

But here's a few others...

  • Just to left of the Android OS bot is the dog, Preston, from Wallace and Gromit's 'A Close Shave'.
  • Just to his left is Tik-Tok from Return to Oz.
  • Just above Android OS is the robot from Wallace and Gromit's 'Grand Day Out.' * Floating near the head of the robot from Hitchhiker's Guide is a robot from Batteries Not Included.
  • Next to Rosie is a robot - name I can't recall, but with the red smiley face - is a robot from a short film about robot friends. Stars the kid from Where the Wild Things Are.
  • Near the 'where' is Mo from Wall-E
  • I would have called the bot from Short Circuit by the name he takes in the movie, Johnny 5, since he's unique from the others.
  • Just to the right of the bot from Ghost in the Shell is Dot from Spaceballs.
  • Near Dot in the row below is one of the droids from SW Ep. 1
  • Left of Bad Robot is a robot from Black Hole
  • There's the robot from Saturn 3 on the top row

There's a bunch more I can't recall where I know them from...

[–]unrealious 0 points1 point ago*

Sorry if I have any repeats:

  • The big dark brown robot to the right of Robbie is a lawgiver (?) from Judge Dread.

  • In the lower right corner in blue with green eyes is the baby robot Phil from the movie Heart beeps (Staring Andy Kaufmann & Bernadette Peters as the parents).

  • Just behind Phil the furry brown robot is a robotic dagget created for Boxey (played by Noah Hathaway) on the original Battlestar Galactica after all daggets were destroyed by the Cylons.

  • To the left of Phil the little silver man is Twiki from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. The disk hanging at his chest is Dr. Theopolis another more sophisticated robot from the series. So two robots for the price of one.

  • Diagonally down right from the Tin Man is Nomad from Star Trek TOS "The Changeling". (episode #32, production #37)

For added fun, the Robot from the film version of Lost in Space is there too (to the left of Terminator. TV series Robot is top row, second from left)...

Also, 11 Year Old Me LOVED the film version of Lost in Space. I feel sorry for my dad who grew up with the TV series and had to deal with me watching the movie a million times.

Glad to see a few UK-specific things in there. Kryten from Red Dwarf, a Smash (powdered mashed potato) alien, Metal Mickey, Noo-Noo the Tellytubbies' vacuum-cleaner (nice touch having similarly named Nono from Ulysses 3000 sat on his back), Evil Edna from Willow the Wisp, Sgt. Bash from Robot Wars, one of the Terahawks globes.

Not UK, but still made me chuckle: The Farscape DRD.

There's also a Terrahawks cube (the bad guys), Samantha from Tellybugs, the Green Cross Code robot, and of course a Henry.

That's not to mention that the joke of the title will be lost on many; The Where's Wally? books have different titles, such as Where's Waldo?, in many other nations.

Help! Right above Calculon and below the robot from Ghost in the Shell & the brown guy (robocop?) is this big white bot with blue stripes and red eyes. Anyone know its name? The deja vu is disturbing me.

Can't name the robot you ask about, but I can tell you that the brown robot is from Judge Dredd, not Robocop.

My research indicates that it might be a robot called "The Big Guy" from something called "The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot."
Whatever that is.

Tik-Tok was from L. Frank Baum's original Oz books, actually. He shows up in Ozma of Oz, published in 1907 ... fourteen years before Karel Čapek coined the word "robot" in R.U.R.

Tik-Tok was described as a "mechanical man", powered by clockwork, and had separate mainsprings for moving, speaking, and thinking — which could run out of power independently, leaving him respectively paralyzed, mute, or babbling nonsense.

2xLost in Space Robot (Upper left corner near Terminator and Laputa robot)

Otto (might not be his name) from the Cartoon Network show "Time Squad" (Right of classic "Lost in Space" robot)

Scooter from "GoBots" (Under Ahnuld, above C3PO)

Skeletor's robot from "He-Man" (left of Bender B. Rodriguez)

Thundercles from "The Brak Show" (Under Robot Ted)

Plex (a magic robot) from "Yo Gabba Gabba" (right of Thundercles)

XR from the Buzz Lightyear cartoon (Right of TV Marvin and the green thing from Gundam)

B.E.N. From "Treasure Planet" (under Marvin)

Clank from the Ratchet and Clank games (second robot to the left of R2-D2)

Robotboy from Cartoon Network show of same name (above R2 and what might be the Robot Chicken).

Goddard from "Jimmy Neutron" (below R2)

Trashcan from the recent "Astro Boy" movie (below R2)

GIR from "Invader Zim" (Middle front, near the vacuum cleaner)

H.E.R.B.I.E. from the "Fantastic Four" cartoon (down and to the right of GIR)

G1 Wheelie holding Michael Bay movies Wheelie from "Transformers" (two to the right of the tachikoma)

Haha! It's Ludwig the violin playing egg standing next to R2D2. I never really thought of him as a robot. Until today, I hadn't thought of him at all in 30 years. It's been a long time Ludwig, you crazy diamond egg.

In the front, next to the vacuum cleaner is 7 Zark-7, the robot added to the American version of Gatchaman, Battle of the Planets. I loved that show, but 7 Zark-7 was kind of lame.

And that angry looking television is from Willo the Wisp. Once again, not sure if it's really a robot per se.

You have a point.

I can name about 35-40% of them. For some of them, I question whether they are truly "robots" within the definition of their particular book/movie/tv-show or our current definitions. For example, the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz, or the Daleks.

BTW, I could not find the Robot from the Lost in Space TV series. Am I missing it?

That "QT-1" robot is interesting. I immediately recognized it as a White Robot from Doctor Who's "The Mind Robber". Turns out it was originally a black robot from an episode of "Out of the Unknown".

The robot to the left of Clash of the Titans's Bubo is the terrible Kameleon prop from the fifth Doctor's era.
