    My personal favorite has always been the B-9 from "Lost in Space".

    Runners-up: the SAINT units from Short Circuit.

    Of course, the SC movies were pretty crappy, but the character design was nothing short of awesome.
    (plus that really cool beginning of the first film showing the units being assembled with that kickass 80's techno music...too bad the rest of the movie wasn't great. SC2 blew.)

    SAINT Units eh?

    I don't recall ever hearing them named. It is nice to put a name to a face of one of my favorite robot designs (even if was just because I wasn't paying attention [face_blush] )

    Best robot would have to be Bender ;)

    RobocopII, also known as Robo-Cain.

    The X-Men Sentinels, especially Nimrod before he became Bastion.

    I liked Sunny from I, Robot. The rest of the movie sucked.

    Data.

    Robot from Lost In Space.

    And old live action Japanese Robot known only as Johnny Sacko's Flying Robot.

    Robbie The Robot, but I didn't like Forbidden Planet that much. I loved the showdown between Robbie and the Lost In Space Robot.

    SAINT: Strategic Artificially Intelligent Nuclear Transport

    Designed to ensure peace by dropping behind enemy lines and delivering a warhead to downtown Moscow.


    Also, for the Lost in Space crowd---

    The robot's name was not "Robby" -- Robby the Robot, while hosting a similarly-shaped body, was a character in Forbidden Planet.

    The original name for the LIS robot was B9, but they ended up just calling him "robot".
    The movie "Robot" was dubbed by its creators and puppeteers as "Big Blue".

    Marvin. He's awesome, and although the Hitchhiker's movie was a bit of a disappointment, having the Paranoid Android voiced by Alan Rickman was a stroke of unadulterated genius.

    And K-9 :D
