Talk:List of fictional robots and androids

message: I have removed the Tin Woodman from this list as he most definitely is not a robot, android, or any form of manufactured or replicated being. Unless we are to insanely include Long John Silver for his pegleg, Captain Hook for his missing hand, and all of us for our dental fillings, Nick Chopper comes out. He's just taken artificial limbs further than usual. B00P 11:57, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Once again I have removed the Tin Woodman for the same reasons listed above. Interestingly, it appears that his metal body shouts "robot" to thise who don't think through the definition, and who never seem to notice that the Scarecrow, soft body and all, comes closer to the criteria.

message: I am working on the robot page and have found that the literary section didn't really fit with the page.  I have moved the material that was there to the Robots in literature page and removed the redirect to List of fictional robots and androids, replacing it with a note about that page.  The page clearly needs a good copyedit and wikify, which I will look at once I've finished on robot, but if anyone wants to dive in, please do so. Kcordina 10:50, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Aren't the Metal Gear units "nuclear equipped walking battle tanks", as opposed to robots? A tank doesn't really fit the definition of a robot. 80.195.173.192 21:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Under 1980s, the article says that Deckard is 'possibly' a replicant. Now the final cut is out, should this be expanded to state that he is ? Jaruzel (talk) 14:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blade Runner 

message: I couldn't help but notice that, despite the multifarious anime robots, the glaring (to me) omission of Tetsujin 28-go (better known as Gigantor), Giant Robo, and Babel II. I'm not entirely sure what the criteria for inclusion on this list is, but unless being remotely manipulated by a human--Tetsujin 28-go is controlled by Shotaro via the means of a remote control (in the 2004 remake, unsure about in the original series); Giant Robo is controlled by Daisaku in the 1990s anime remake via commands spoken (more often shouted) into his wristwatch; Babel II I'm somewhat unsure about, having never seen the series--I would think they should be on this list. Despite the fact that they are effectively commanded by a human, they display visible personality, especially in the case of Giant Robo, who literally cries when he is unable to defeat the Vogler Sphere on his own. Being such, I would think that they would have a place on this list, and certainly they deserve a place simply for being the first (or among the first) giant robots to appear in manga/Japanese TV.

message: In this revision of Android, there is a great deal of bulleted-list entries that would seem to belong on this list. I have removed them now, but it might be worthwhile to merge them here.  Sandstein  12:02, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Please, don't say that you did not include Moby, the robot from BrainPOP! I mean, since I am a BrainPOP fan, it is quite a shocker not to see Moby on the list. Check if he is on the list, and, if he isn't, add him to the list. He should be under the Web based media part of the page, since BrainPOP is an online web site.

thread_title:  Where's Moby on the List? 

message: Noticed two of the external links were broken; had a look at webarchive.org and figured out where they'd moved to. I have updated the links. The new version of those pages are much clearer - these lists will include lots that don't meet notability, but might to help to identify any major examples we've missed. Task for someone?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Infojunkie23 (talk • contribs) 07:39, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Boy, I can't believe you forgot sooo many classic comic book and TV cartoon robots from around the world.  First off, in comics:  MAGNUS, ROBOT FIGHTER, IN THE YEAR (3,000+)
                               THE MICRONAUTS (Dell publication, circa 1970)
                               ROBOTAN of the DOOM PATROL (DC comics)
                               CYBORG  of the TEEN TITANS.
                               IRON MAN (Marvel Comics. Does qualify.)
                               THE METAL MEN and RED TORNADO (DC Comics)
                               BEN BOXER, RENZI, AND STEVE, of KAMANDI (DC Comics)
                               THE MANHUNTERS (DC Comics)
In Television (Japanese) Asto Boy, Gigantor, The 8th. Man. The automated robots of SPACE PATROL.
In Movies: The only one I can think of right now is "ROBOT JOX", and the tripod ships of WAR OF THE WORLDS (both 1954 and 2008 movies).  Also, the Bruce Willis, Radha Michell sci-fi SUUROGATES.

thread_title:  Ah-Ha! 

message: There's 15 links to Robby the Robot in this page, and they're not obvious as to what they mean. I think they mean that the robot character in a given film/show (say Columbo) was played by Robby the Robot. This isn't clear from just putting a link to "Robby the Robot" in brackets. Perhaps treat Robby as an actor, e.g. "played by Robby the Robot". Hoping someone has a good idea.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.64.100 (talk) 07:00, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: It is under the film section. However, there are other examples in fiction with robots which have had the name metropolis (some presumably as an homage). Hope this helps : ) - jc37 20:55, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Robot Jox is a 1990 film set in a post-apocalyptic nuclear holocaust society.  Seems fitting to be listed here...since the warring factions use robot Jaegers to fight nation-to-nation.
