driedcranberrysnack said: "I love TARS from Interstellar. He has to be my favorite portrayal of a robot in a film.

T-800 wouldn’t be the memorable villain of the first movie if it wasn’t for the acting job of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He portrayed this future robot sent to the past in two different perspectives.

Who says humans can’t fall in love with a robot?

Not a lot of robots are known to have the feeling of guilt programmed in them.

T-800 might have been the first robot in the Terminator franchise, but T-1000 is the best one overall. Made from liquid metal, this robot from the future can mimic the appearance of humans.

Linguo was one of Lisa's many science experiments, and he was perhaps the smartest of them all. During his brief existence, he battled mobsters, got wasted, and passed away in Homer's arms.

Eric Cartman did a lot of evil things. Used Scott Tenorman’s parents in a bowl of chili, worked with EA Games to create a “sports” game, and, in the form of AWESOM-O, a cardboard computerized automatron, to trick Butters. This “robot’s” goal? To find out the darkest secrets Butter has. Even the military got tricked by Eric’s performance for a moment.

The Tin Man might take the award for being the first popular robot in cinema. Appearing in the brilliant The Wizard of Oz movie, The Tin Man sets out on a journey to get a real heart inside his metal body.
