Everyone loves lists and movies. I love mechanical life forms too. So I’ve rolled all three into one with a little engineering spin. This list is by no means comprehensive – it’s simply thirteen of my favourite androids, cyborgs and robots.
13. Blinky – BlinkyTM (2011)
BlinkyTM is a short film about a boy, Alex (Max Records), and his robot. Blinky doesn’t go on adventures, he’s just a toy meant to placate Alex while his parents fight. Blinky isn’t what most people would call an interesting character, but what he illustrates in this short film is enough to make feuding parents think twice about how they treat their kids. Alex ultimately resents his robot companion since he doesn’t solve the underlying unhappiness he feels as a result of his parents decaying relationship. Alex and his parents pay for their mistakes when a combination of robot abuse and a short circuit turn Blinky into… well… you’ll just have to watch the film.
12. Johnny Five – Short Circuit (1986)

Robby the robot (Forbidden Planet). The model for most robots for years.

Oh, come on! How can you make such a list and not include the T1000 from “Terminator?”

What about Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo? There was a MST3K movie.
To: Telepathic Intruder
No mention of Terminator and no Major Kusinagi from Ghost in the Shell (and they even have one from anime, so it's not like they limited the field to Hollywood live-action movies).

She was one of the terminators in the Sarah Conner Chronicles. It was a pretty good show but it was on Fox, so it got cancelled after a couple seasons.

How does a blog omit The Robot from
Lost in Space, Robby from
Forbidden Planet and Gort from the original
The Day The Earth Stood Still and actually claim to be serious? Even worse: Gerty? WTF?! He's a complete rip-off of the Hal-9000 from
2001: A Space Odyssey. Worse Yet: Bishop. Bishop?!
Ash RULES. Bishop is just a lapdog.
And worst of all Wall-E at #1.
Wrong. Just wrong. On so many levels. Wrong.

what a sad list!
Did make me wonder if one of Niven’s strengths was his avoidance of robots.

Or the ones from Battlestar Galactica.
I also liked Sonny in I, Robot, and the kid robot and Teddy Bear in AI.
To: Carbonsteel
There were a couple of "Futurama" movies starring Bender, the greatest robot of them all. Ask him.
Also, the robot dog Rags, from "Sleeper". And what about Dr. Who's K-9?
