If anyone is interested in talking about Sc-fi robots from Film and TV I would enjoy that. I used to also answer questions on All Experts about sci-fi robots and films so if anyone wants information on a robot or are trying to identify the name of one or a film they appeared in I might be able to help. I am in the process of writing an A-Z guide of Robots, Androids, Cyborgs, Computers and AI from TV and film. I have over 800 entries so far. Huge project, but I have loved robots since I was a child. my favourite robot is from Lost in Space called B-9.

Well, my favorite cyborgs are the Daleks and my favorite movie robot is Gort.

Yes I love the classic Gort, I wasn't that impressed with the remake version. Daleks would be number 1 on my cyborg list too...

My Top 10 Robots ever would be:

1. Robbie (Forbidden Planet, Movie)
2. B-9 (Lost In Space, TV Series)
3. R2-D2 (Star Wars, Movies)
4. C3-PO (Star Wars, Movies)
5. Maria (Metropolis, Movie)
6. Gort, (The Day The Earth Stood Still, Movie)
7. Tobor (Tobor the Great, Movie)
8. Cylon (Battlestar Galactica, TV Series)
9. Drones; Hewy, Luey Dewy (Silent Running, Movie)
10. Optimus Prime (Transformers, Cartoon TV Series/Movie)
11. K-9 (Doctor Who, TV Series)
12. Rosie (Jetsons, Cartoon TV Series)
13. Bender (Futurama, Cartoon TV Series)
14. Vincent (The Black Hole, Movie)
15. ED-209 (Robocop, Movie)
16. Sonny (I, Robot)
17. Twiki (Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, TV Series)
18. Johnny #5 (Short Circuit, Movie)
19. Marvin (The Hitch Hikers Guide To the Galaxy, TV Series)
20. Wall-E (Wall-E)

I also would mention the ABC warrior robot from Judge Dredd and AMEE from the Red Planet. So many others I could easily make a top 50 or 100.

I agree with Gort, C3PO, R2, Twiki, Maria, Cylons(original series only), Daleks, Robbie the Robot, and Robot from the Lost In Space TV series.

Others I like-

Huey, Dewey, and Louie from Silent Running



The Killbots from Chopping Mall



Max 404 from Android



Crimebuster from Heartbeeps(the movie itself is super cheesy)



Kryten from Red Dwarf



Fembots from Bionic Woman




As a kid I remember liking:

Rover from Wonder Woman



C.H.O.M.P.S the robot dog from C.H.O.M.P.S



Roboz from Riptide



Peepo from Space Academy




Though the robots aren't special, I enjoy the robot-themed flicks- Target Earth(giant robots from space invade Chicago),


Kronos(another giant robot from space movie)



and Saturn 3

Although Saturn 3 wasn't a great movie it did have it's moments and I liked Hector with his "Hurry along please" oh and Farrah Fawcett :).

Kronos: Ravager of Planets is a classic indeed.

Target Earth was one of those films where though it seemed like a big group of robots invading the US they only used one robot in the whole film. That's why WE never see two or more together lol

This is a mock design of the book I am writing:

This book has been five years in the making and will have a profile and picture of each robot and other interesting information and trivia.
I think it would be a valuable reference tool for any sci-fi fans, especially those robot lovers. It is kind of the book I wish was around when I was a kid.I want to pack it with as much as possible with funs stuff like...
