Via Reddit, an impressive assembly of robots from movies and TV shows: [![](https://i.imgur.com/PVMsk.jpg) ](https://i.imgur.com/PVMsk.jpg) You need to find Wall-E and one question: Was the Tin Man of OZ officially a Robot? ---

Found him! Lower middle, next to the old-school Cylon, Dr. Who’s K9, and the bad robot from J.J. Abrams’ production company. I’d consider the Tin Man to be more of a cyborg than a robot, even though (IIRC) he has no organic parts left by the time he meets Dorothy. ---

I’m surprised Data’s not on there, since the T-800 and T-1000 are. I’m also surprised to see Blitz from C.O.P.S. and T-Bob from M.A.S.K. on there. ---

I don’t see Data either, which is a surprising oversight. Assuming we’re not just both blind. Where did you find the T-1000? There’s a lot of robots in there I recognize, but I have no idea from where. ---

I think I see two different iterations of Marvin the Paranoid Android, but none of the new Galactica Cylons. And I can’t find any nonfictional robots: It’d be nice to have Spirit in there. There’s one that’s labeled “QT-1”-- Was there ever a standard visual depiction of him, or is that just a label stuck on a generic-looking robot? And I assume that the beige fellow to the left of Bender is Andrew… Are there any other Asimov robots there? Oh, and who’s Threepio’s date? I feel like I should recognize her. ---

jeeze, i recognize maybe 1 in every 5 robots. maybe less. are we listing them? data is conspicuously missing. so is the most recognizable robot in the world (arguably) optimus. my favorite ones are Alpha from Power Rangers, Dr. Robotnic’s sidekick, and the Robot Chicken’s jukeboxphiliac. speaking of which, where is the robot chicken himself? also, 3 futurama robots by my count. . ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Oh, and who’s Threepio’s date? I feel like I should recognize her. It’s the robot from Metropolis. Also, there’s a new model Cylon a few inches above and to the right of the old model Cylon. ---

I know I know it, but I can’t place it. ---

Wow, there are a lot of robots that I don’t recognize. I like that the two Chritons are giving each other the stink eye, plus there’s the robot mouse from Tim and Jerry, and the evil Bill and Ted Robots. Awesome! Nanan nanana naaa! Although I have to say that Daleks and Cybermen are really cyborgs as well… Is that too nitpicky? 1. The robot from Castle in the Sky 2. The robot from Lost in Space 3. Something from Futurama? 4.
