16 Ridiculous Killer Robots

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 26 of May , 2009 at 5:19 am

Killer Robot

We post about killer robots (not killer robots, but, you know) a lot here on BotJunkie, simply because that’s where all the money is. But there’s a whole subset of killer robots that we’ve been ignoring: the really, really stupid ones. A.V. Club has put together a list of 16 of them, starting with Roberto the stabbing robot from Futurama, continuing on to Satan’s Robot from Star Trek: Voyager, and somehow ending up with Transformers. Check them all out, here.

Now, of COURSE I have to have some kind of specific problem with this list (besides all the obvious ones). And I do. It’s the omission of what is arguably the most ridiculous killer robot ever: GIR, from Invader Zim. If you’re not familiar with GIR and you feel like watching a whole bunch of stupid-funny cartoons, you can find Invader Zim episodes online, here.

Thanks Andrew!

What Is BotJunkie?

From the folks who brought you OhGizmo.com, BotJunkie obsessively chronicles Man's inevitable descent into cybernetic slavery.

One robot at a time.
