[Golden Phoenix]

Looks great
I wants it

[Paulbot]

Now the game is to identify them all!

On my first go through I can only pick about 17 of them (and some of those I only know the scource rather than the robot name)

[GoktimusPrime]

Ooh, good idea! here's what I can recognise:

+ Mighty Atom (Astroboy)
+ Hundred Beast King Go-Lion (Lion Force Voltron; though I much prefer Vehicle Force)
+ Terminator (T800?)
+ WALL-E
+ HAL (A Space Odyssey)
+ K-9 (from Dr. Who, not Transformers :p)
+ V.I.N.C.E.N.T. (The Black Hole)
+ Bomberman
+ Rockman (aka Megaman)
+ Maximillion (The Black Hole)
+ The Iron Giant
+ Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot
+ Mecha Godzilla
+ Johnny-5? (Short Circuit)?
+ Model B-9 Class M-3 General Utility Non-Theorising Environmental Control Robot (Lost In Space)
+ Robby the Robot
+ Artoo-Detoo (Star Wars)
+ See-Threepio (Star Wars)
+ The Tin Man (Wizard of Oz)
+ Giant Robo
+ ED-209 (Robocop)
+ Mazinger Z
+ Maria (Metropolis)
+ Gort (from The Day the Earth Stood Still, not Transformers (though TF Gort isn't a robot))
+ Muffit II? (Battlestar Galactica)?
+ Original Cylon? (Battlestar Galactica)?
+ New Cyclon? (Battlestar Galactica)?
+ Tripod (War of the Worlds)? possibly based on illustrations by Henrique Alvim Corréa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alvim-correa12.jpg)?

[Golden Phoenix]

I think Robot Santa from Futurama is the one under the matrix squid

[Tober]

The owl might be Bubo from Clash of the Titans
The big tripod could be from 'Tripods'. WotW is more likley tho.

Matrix Squid = Sentinel :o

[gamblor916]

Two above Gort looks like Twiki from Buck Rogers.

[Deonasis]

+ New Cyclon? (Battlestar Galactica)?

[loophole]

i beleive sofaman already has this shirt perhaps he could shed a light on the missing ones

[Paulbot]

Surely between all the robot fans here we should work it out. :)

[loophole]

26 looks like marvin the paranoind android from thhe BBC series of hitchhikers

[Tober]

22. Could well be Tetsujin 28 (I have never seen the series tho)

[Tober]

4... Huey, Duey or Louie from Silent Running.

[GoktimusPrime]

I believe #44 is Giant Robo. Here's some pics:

http://www.historyvortex.org/GiantRoboAnima.jpg

Now I _think_ that #25 and #37 are Cylons from the old and new Battlestar Galactica, but I'm not too sure.

Here's a pic of old skool Cylons:

And here's a pic of the new Cylon:

Here's an old and new Cylon staring at each other:

And here's a picture of a Cylon hobo:

[Tober]

14 is Crow from Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) - it's been bugging me for hours :rolleyes:

[Golden Phoenix]

4... Huey, Duey or Louie from Silent Running.

I think i saw that once on SBS. Its either a blue or orange robot. Only started watching it halfway through.
The silhouette looks very familiar though

Yep, had a rather memorable, sad and kinda stupid ending.


9. is Conky 2000 from Pee-Wee Herman's Playhouse

[Lord_Zed]

22. Could well be Tetsujin 28 (I have never seen the series tho)

22 is indeed Tetsujin 28 and 44 as Goktimus said is Giant Robo, the live action one, not the awesome anime one though. :(

Along with the Iron Giant there 3 of my favourte retro robots.

[Golden Phoenix]

number 11 looks like the chicken from the Chicken Little film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_Little_(character))
I never saw it, but were there any robots in it?

[Tober]

The Iron Giant is so underrated :(

-----------------------------------------

19 is Tom Servo from MST3K (and here I was thinking that it was weird that they included Crow without Tom :rolleyes: )

21 is the enemy robots from the 'Bezerk' Atari 2600 game

11 probably Rusty, the Boy Robot from 'Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot' - which means I could well be wrong about 22, it might be Big Guy... :confused:

[Tober]

And thanks to my bro, 46 is Dr Theopolis from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - How could you have Twiki without Doc...;)

[GoktimusPrime]

Big Guy's not a robot (just don't tell Rusty).

So that leaves us with 24, 35 and 38 to be named...


I think the robot's a bit short but 24 could be Alpha-5 from Power Rangers? Nah, it's so blocky its gotta be a cartoon/video game thing
38 is so generic man-in-a-suit it's hard to tell which robot it could be. 35 has a bit more character but I can't place it.

[Gutsman Heavy]

38 is Jet Jaguar from Godzilla

http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/godzilla/images/e/ef/Jetjaguar.jpg

[SilverDragon]

I think 42 is MechaniKong. (http://www.tohokingdom.com/kaiju/mechani-kong.htm)

[Deonasis]

I think 42 is MechaniKong. (http://www.tohokingdom.com/kaiju/mechani-kong.htm)

Yep, that's it. I just discovered that 'Mecha Gorilla' is actually an awesome but unlicensed 3rd party made figure. I think the name is different to avoid copyright issues.. it sound like a familiar story :rolleyes:

[Vector Sigma 13]
