Good thing too – the “Heavy Metal” robot was driving my crazy.
And to those looking for “The Iron Giant”, you have to look close, but he’s there

Amazing artwork
Is Vicky there?
Where’s Data/Lore?
Man, the work that went into making that list is almost as amazing as the art itself!
#14. The Cybermen from Doctor Who are in there twice, right next to each other. An old 1960s version and the new version.
Turns out there are several with two incarnations.
The one I noticed was Marvin.
#12 Robocop is present and accounted for. Keep looking.
My son and I had fun checking these out. Found about thirty or forty we knew. Including the two versions of Marvin, and Dr Who’s dog.
Looks like we all found somthing to enjoy. I’m still looking for Bender. Good to know he’s in there somewhere.
But must robots be metal to some degree? Why don’t blow up dolls qualify? They actually provide a service that is more than ironic subtext.
I am really impressed! I didn’t expect Brian the Brain from Space:1999 and Nomad from Star Trek to be in the group picture. I see that the old and new “Lost in Space” Robots are present. Even the robot from Millenium who looks like Kryten from Dwarf are there.
Was Iron Giant present? or the bounty hunter robot from Empire Strikes Back there?
Bender Bending Rodríguez is to the left of the Tin Man.
Good thing I’m a gay nerd ’cause knowing the names of all of those robots would have render me a virgin if I were a straight nerd.
Wait, am I the only one who’s annoyed there’s only robots made by white people.
#31–jpfitz==thank you. Looking more closely now, to the left of Bender is the Queen Borg. She’s heavily plugged-in but certainly not a robot. I think I even stopped watching Star Trek when Picard let a Borg live free rather than destroy that entire culture with an implanted virus.
Definite lack of balance there that even Liberty Lover should reject?
I don’t have a clue who most of these are. I did quickly note that some cyborg are shown. Since a cyborg has a living brain it is not a robot.
Is the artist robot-illiterate?
Possibly the best movie robot of all time appears to be missing: Robby from ‘Forbidden Planet’?
Now, can someone help me peel my eyes off the damned poster?
Robbie the Robot is just right of Andy (of “Quark” fame). Upper middle.
Now, who in the heck would leave out Daneel Olivaw? SHAME.
animby–that upset me too once I saw who I thought was Robbie was only a nearly=be. Robbie is NNE an inch from dead center. He was a key character in Lost in Space and some other flicks as well but its remarkable how well Forbidden Planet stands up. Its is hokum, but it still stands up, special effects, theme, everything.
I had three more ideas backed up but don’t recall them now–Farrah Faucet’s robot flick was good, anna one, anna two.
No YoYo?

Bobbo & Gildersleeve: Amazing how easy he is to find when it’s pointed out to you. I can only offer the excuse that, while traveling, I am looking at a small screen. Thanks for your help.
Bobbo – Have you heard the bad news? They are planning a remake of Forbidden Planet for release in 2013! Let’s see, how badly did they screw up “The Day The Earth Stood Still”?
