BESTS
Tags: robots, Transformers, all time, cool, top 10, top 50, Terminator
These are the top "artificial people" from the history of film:
| 1. | C3-PO (Star Wars franchise) - C3-PO gets his name from the map grid reference of George Lucas' local Post Office |
| 2. | Johnny 5 (Short Circuit) - "What if it goes out and melts down a bus load of nuns? How would you like to write the headline on that one?" |
| 3. | Optimus Prime (Transformers) - The word "Transformer" is used only once in the entire film - when a character ascribes an explosion and power failure to "a blown transformer". |
| 4. | Droideka Droids (Star Wars: The Phantom Menace) - The Droideka can fire up to 240 dual blasts a minute (unless their blaster arms get too hot) |
| 5. | R2-D2 (Star Wars franchise) - "Your droids! We don't serve their kind here!" |
| 6. | The Sentinels (X-Men 3) - In the third and perhaps final X-Men movie, the fan favourites are inserted in a 'virtual reality' cameo role. |
| 7. | Sonny (I-Robot) - Detective: "Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?" |
| 8. | Evil Bill & Ted (Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey) - "Okay, dudes... oh I mean fellow policemen. my son Ted Theodore Logan, and his friend Bill S. Preston ESQ. have been murdered and replaced by evil robots from the future" |
| 9. | ABC Warriors (Judge Dredd) - "Status? Commander? Mission?" |
| 10. | Swarms of robot spiders (Lost In Space) - The spiders are nameless aggressors, but the robot in the original series did have a (rarely-mentioned) name: in the third-season of the parent TV show it was shown in its packing crate, and the crate was labelled "ONE General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental ROBOT" with the G, U, N, T, E, and all letters in "ROBOT" in red capital letters, while all the other letters were black; suggesting the acronym "GUNTER" |
| 11. | ED 209 (Robocop) - "Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply" |
| 12. | SID 6.7 (Virtuosity) - "Just because I'm carrying the joy of killing your family inside me doesn't mean we can't be friends" |
| 13. | Kitt (Knight Rider) - David Hasselhoff and William Daniels (voice of K.I.T.T.) first met at a Christmas party six months after 'Knight Rider' started shooting. |
| 14. | HAL9000 (2001, A Space Odyssey) - "I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen" |
| 15. | Terminator Series 800/Model 101 (The Terminator) - O.J. Simpson was considered for the role of the Terminator, but the producers thought he might be "too nice" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer |
| 16. | BumbleBee (Transformers) - the cool Camaro that can only talk through songs on the radio |
