I would want a robot friend like the Robot from
Lost in space, ( the TV show. ) or even like Rex,
from Lester del Rey's book, Runaway Robot.

That would be ultra cool!!!!

I feel such robots could exist oneday,
not too many years from now. All we need is a few
breakthroughs in cybernetics.


I love that robot too, Beardguy.

He has an enduringly cool and futuristic look, and a lot of personality.

As I'm sure you're aware, he was first introduced in the movie Forbidden Planet(1956)



I also like this publicity illustration from the movie:

Hot women, short skirts, hot legs, and robots... what a combo !

I also love the robot from This Island Earth(1955) which beyond the robot is a terrific story, and a science fiction classic .

**UPDATE** Ooops !

I meant to say the robot in Day the Earth Stood Still(1951):



Which is a great movie, with a mysterious and powerful alien robot (and referred to, with clear story parallels, in Alan Moore's WATCHMEN ).







This Island Earth is a great movie too, with lots of cool aliens and spaceships, but no robots. My mistake.
