Optimus Prime is missing (I assume) for the same reason that Mecha-Godzilla and HAL are: They’re too big. Everyone else seems to be to scale. I’m not sure why they don’t have a dingbot from Girl Genius, though. ---

29: A Tachikoma from Ghost in The Shell. Edit: And #16 is Chaos’s robot from the Voyager holodeck, I think. ---

You people have better eyes than me. Is _Ash_ (Alien) in there? He should count as a “robot” – Parker calls him one in the movie, and he would know. ---

> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > 29: A Tachikoma from Ghost in The Shell. > > Edit: And #16 is Chaos’s robot from the Voyager holodeck, I think. Well, not quite, although my original guess was off, too. The robot didn’t appear in the Commando Cody serials, as I’d thought, although it came close. The robot originally appeared, as near as I can tell, in 1936’s [Undersea Kingdom](http://filesofjerryblake.netfirms.com/html/c__montague_shaw.html). The prop was reused in several later films, including 1949’s [King of the Rocketmen](http://images.buyitsellit.com/2106996_290.jpg), a precursor to the Commando Cody serials - different character, but same rocket suit and same robot. More than fifty years later, it was resurrected again for _Voyager_’s [black and white holodeck episodes](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6Xy_64dFkK4/TeGi0nftJNI/AAAAAAAAAGY/ykR4BiFX_NI/s1600/satans+robot+night036.jpg). However, Voyager’s version lacks the tubing on the head, which appears to have only been used in the prop’s original appearance in_Undersea Kingdom_, which I assume is the intended reference for this picture. ---
