Ranking Movie Robots - A Tier List

[@georgedarby6642]

I understand that Optimus at F tier is simply a joke meant to entice angry feelings on purpose for comedic ends, but I WILL take putting Eva above Bender and R2 as a mean spirited, direct personal offense aimed specifically at me.

You blokes needed to do Marvin from the books and radio dramas. S tier for sure. Book Marvin lived at least 3 times the life of the entire universe. He watched planets evolve and die. He spent millions of years with a leg stuck in a pit and he just kept going around in circles. His depression ended civilizations and saved the gang's life at least twice.

The fact that R2-D2 is ranked anywhere other than S is just bizarre. I know this list is tongue-in-cheek, but R2 is one of the most iconic film characters of all time, and not just among robots.

I usually agree with you guys on just about everything, but you are way off about B9, the original ‘Lost in Space’ robot. He’s iconic for people of a certain age. “Danger, danger Will Robinson!”, the flashing red light when he talked, the flailing arms, the bubble ‘head’. Easily, an A for those of us who grew up in the late 60’s/70’s.

Fun fact about the Daleks. In one 1965 episode there's a joke about a dalek with a stutter. Same serial, a bunch get beaten up by anamatronic Dracula. They've been a joke since their 3rd ever story don't worry it's not a new develoment

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

Honestly? They're even kind of a joke in The Daleks as well. They need to maintain contact with the special floor to move around so the heroes put down a blanket and push the Dalek onto it and it shuts down, killing the creature

[@J.O.R.D]

14:52 born 1996 and Short Circuit is one of my favourite and most remembered/loved movies from my childhood! For years I would say to people what’s that movie with the skinny robot on mini tank tread wheels who has flappy eyebrows, and I would just get no reply or gone out looks 😂

[@joek81981]

The blue checkmarks on the forehead bit at 19:36 was terrific. Golly dang, that got me.

[@alexanderford3831]

If we're inserting an Alan Tudyk Robot/Android onto this list, I'd Ratner it were K-2SO. He's immediately endearing and iconic. Like Mason, I barely remember anything about I, Robot other that Will Smith fighting equally with a truck full of robots because his arm is metal, which ironically, is metal as Hell. Also, I kind of love the Robot Maria scenes in METROPOLIS, where Brigitte Helm (the actress) is just going for it, being batshit as Hell.

[@mittycommitspizzatime92]

Wall-e at C makes me mildly sad

[@TrekBeatTK]

The lost in space robot is technically called Robot B-9. Or in one episode, Golden Boy. Anyway, that’s why Star Trek had to change Data’s brother from B9 to B4.

The Asimov Cinematic Universe.

[@ShirDeutch]

Technically, the I, Robot movie was an original story unrelated to Asimov's book, but then the studio had the rights to I, Robot so they slapped it on there for brand recognition and made some minor changes like the inclusion of Susan Calvin and the rules of robotics (which are pretty much thrown out the window by the end of the movie). So while the books belong to the same extended universe, the movies do not.
