Gee wiz. There are dozens of Robots and Androids in film and literature and they all seem to find a way of fascinating us. My favorite would be hard to choose from. I'll list a few below to help you and I to decided.
B-9 Robot - Lost In Space "Danger Will Robinson. Danger!"
Robbie - Forbidden Planet.
C-3PO - Star Wars
R2-D2 - Star Wars
Battle Droids - Star Wars
Commander Data - STNG
War Robot - Judge Dredd
Andrew - Bicentennial Man
Bender - Futurama
Gort - The Day the Earth Stood Still
Gunslinger - Westworld
Ash - Alien
Terminator - Terminator
Number 5 - Short Circuit
Robocop - Robocop
Thats all that comes to mind. I know for a fact there are much more.
You get the idea.
I still have a soft spot for the old B-9 from Lost in Space.

The "Lucifer" Cylon is the robot you are thinking of. "Number Five is Alive!" "Imput. More Imput!" How should I know why this thread isn't in Sci Fi? Oh yeah. I was following the footsteps of "Favorite Actor / Favorite Actress" Thats right. Now I remember.

To be fair she is way more woman....wow....uh...I've lost my train of thought. ...uh.... so anyway I think of her as only mildly Borg and therefore mildly cybernetic but I know what you mean. If all cyborgs looked like that.....

I don't think a Borg constitutes anything near an andriod until it's at least 1/2 way mechanized--and Marvin the Martian is an alien--NOT and andriod or robot! And this thread following the other 2? k.

I agree about Seven and Marvin.
About the thread. The one following this one will be "What is your favorite movie prop." Followed by "favorite grip" and finally "Favorite seat in the theater"

Followed by "favorite grip"

*Brinn looks around warily and makes sure Pee Wee Herman is no where in sight*
I think there should be a seperate forum for discussions like this!

Good choice.
One of my favorites is from the amimated feature the Iron Giant.
I wonder why I didn't think of that before?

Oh yeah. Jet Jaguar from Godzilla vs. Megalon. How cool. Or really stupid. I just don't know anymore.

Could be wrong, but maybe it was Marvin, the paranoid android (Hitchhiker's Guide). Definately my favorite.
