	I love the Futurama, Tekken, and Booster Gold references.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Antithesys:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 06:16 GMT	-1 points
	Good quiz, all the "important" ones are included. Missing: Vicki from the sitcom "Small Wonder", the kid from "A.I.", Bubo the owl from "Clash of the Titans", and the Transformers, though the latter stretches the "robots etc." theme.

	Jaspers:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 06:25 GMT	20 points
	K-9 should totally be accepted for the Doctor Who companion.

	k3lit0:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 06:43 GMT	2 points
	I saw Tekken and was like ... Mokujin??? took me a second to get it. :P I wonder if GLaDOS counts as a robut...

	DLJessup:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 06:47 GMT	11 points
	Ditto to Jaspers. Kamelion was in two serials; meanwhile, K-9 Mark I was in five serials, K-9 Mark II in fourteen, and K-9 Mark III was in an episode of the new series, as well as its own, single-episode special.

	marpocky:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 07:38 GMT	4 points
	It doesn't take "Rodriguez" for Bender or "Servo" for the MST3K ones. On that note, Gypsy and Cambot were also robots on MST3K. Also, "RoboCop 2" was a villian in, well, RoboCop 2. Granted it's not in the original RoboCop movie, it is still a RoboCop villain.

	Liberal:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 09:16 GMT	4 points
	May I have suggested ROB from Nintendo and Robot B-9 (The Robot from Lost in Space) as bonus answers? Or how about The Iron Giant, Paulie's Robot (Rocky 4) or GIR from Invader Zim too?

	Bizarity:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 10:13 GMT	14 points
	I agree with the comments about K9. I hear robot and doctor who and that is what I immediately think of. Kamelion didn't even occur to me.

	chambers:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 10:48 GMT	8 points
	yeh i tried every combination of 'k9' thats not fair

	snoozyJ:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 10:57 GMT	5 points
	shouldn't "dot" be acceptable, its what she was called for most of the movie

	Joe_Ball:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 11:24 GMT	8 points
	Either that, or the clue needs changing on the Doctor Who one. K-9 was a robotic companion of the Doctor, so essentially it's correct to type it.

	davebesag:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 11:58 GMT	1 point
	Got 11 including some obscure ones. Theo should be acceptable for Buck Rogers as there were two main artificial life forms in that show.

	chrispaz:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 12:33 GMT	2 points
	Damn, I couldn't spell Twiki. Now i've got "what's up Buck?" bouncing round my head!

	MichaelB76:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 12:34 GMT	4 points
	Shouldn't need to get the dashes in the right places for the Star Wars droids.

	ShepherdBook:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 12:39 GMT	2 points
	Don't I get a shout out for sending you the email that originally suggested this quiz?

	jesus:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 13:02 GMT	4 points
	No Shepherd Book, you don't. Same thing happened to me. People like Ben and Davidr actually make the games.

	davidr:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 13:14 GMT	4 points
	@"God": When games aren't credited as `This game was contributed by Sporcle user: X', they were made by the site admins.

	Oh, this is a funny quiz. Made me laugh several times as I remembered those crazy old robots. Some feedback: I got Kamelion (who was barely a Doctor Who Companion), but K-9 is really a better answer if there's only going to be one answer. The Robot in Metropolis, as I recall, was actually called "Hel" by Dr. Rotwang--she was only _impersonating_ Maria. And I guess I'll agree with your reasoning on "Caprica Six," but you should consider accepting the names that other Six models have had on the show--"Gina Inviere," "Shelly Godfrey," and "Natalie."

	PhilSandifer:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 14:02 GMT	5 points
	Indeed, K-9 should absolutely be accepted for Doctor Who as the far better-known robot companion. Also, Caprica-Six is a fan name for the character that never appears in the show. Really, better to just accept "cylon" here I should think.

	ckbryant:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 14:24 GMT	4 points
	@Phil: Other cylons call her "Caprica," don't they?

	gopaladins:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 15:03 GMT	5 points
	the answer for "alien" is a spoiler. knowing ash is a robot before seeing the movie would ruin a pretty crazy part of alien. a warning would be nice.

	marpocky:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 15:49 GMT	2 points
	@Phil, ck: One particular, uh, instance? of #6 is referred to as Caprica Six. In any case, I don't think it's a very satisfying entry in the quiz.

	cmkeller:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 16:10 GMT	3 points
	Surprising that you have Skeets, Booster Gold's companion, while not listing Justice League member Red Tornado, Justice League enemy Amazo, Avengers Vision and Jocasta and Avengers enemy Ultron. Oh, yes, and Fantastic Four cartoon stand-in HERBIE.

	davebesag:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 16:26 GMT	2 points
	and where is Metal Mickey ;-)

	Nezu_Chiza:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 16:34 GMT	3 points
	For Doctor Who companion, Kamelion should also be accepted. He was Companion for 2 stories and was also robotic.

	TheImpalerTMX:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 17:32 GMT	3 points
	Tekken 4 had a robot character Combot, so I guess that should be acceptable, too. Also, along with the aforementioned Robocop 2, there was also the Robocop 3 villian Otomo - though really, I wouldn't blame you for wanting to forget that.

	ntnon:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 20:59 GMT	2 points
	I'm also - pleasantly - amused by the comics robot being far more obscure than need be! I'm also VERY disappointed in the low, low number quiz-takers who get the Metropolis robot. (Whether that is or is not her name, I though it was VERY well known... clearly not. Shame.)

	Emperor_Ziggy:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 21:30 GMT	3 points
	This quiz makes me feel like no one likes Transformers anymore. Is Optimus Prime not good enough for the people who made this?

	shani3:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 21:44 GMT	3 points
	The "60s manga" robot drove me crazy, as all I could think of was Gigantor!

	shani3:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 21:51 GMT	1 point
	Come to think of it..was Astro Boy an actual "robot"?

	springmom:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 23:09 GMT	4 points
	Shouldn't it be Buck Rogers in the 25th century? That's what the TV show in the late 70s was called. And that's where I learned the robot's name.

	Stoudty:	Jan 10th, 2009 at 02:14 GMT	2 points
	anyone get jinx solely from the family guy episode where stewie brings in 80s movie robots. "I know what can cheer you up, Brian. The robot from Space Camp." "Brian and Jinx are friends."

	Lowbill:	Jan 10th, 2009 at 02:44 GMT	1 point
	I know it's nitpicking, but the manga was "Tetsuwan Atomu" or "Mighty Atom." The character wasn't referred to as "Astro Boy" until the animated TV series was brought to America.

	Tom:	Jan 10th, 2009 at 02:47 GMT	2 points
	The robot in Metropolis was called "The Machine Man" by Dr. Rotwang. Hel was Rotwang's deceased daughter and John Fredersen's wife. The Machine Man was given Maria's likeness and is often called the "Maria-bot" by Metropolis fans, though it was never referred to as such in the movie.

	Catherine_F:	Jan 10th, 2009 at 16:08 GMT	0 points
	Can't believe so few people get Robby, I thought he was the most famous robot ever, save for R2D2 and C3PO. Also thank you Antithesys for mentioning Bubo from Clash of the Titans, a great film and a great mechanical owl :D

	MissInformed:	Jan 10th, 2009 at 16:29 GMT	0 points
	I typed in "Johnny Five" and couldn't work out why it wouldn't take it...should have thought of "5"...

	AdamL:	Jan 10th, 2009 at 17:31 GMT	6 points
	when i saw austin powers i assumed vanessa kensington which really should be accepted!

Comment below threshold: show it

	sharkatron300:	Jan 25th, 2009 at 18:40 GMT	2 points
	terminator should really be excepted, I mean how were you meant to get t-800?
