An awesome fandom shirt from Teefury showing the Doctor’s most famous mechanical nemesis standing over the carnage of Pop Culture’s most famous robots, cyborgs and vehicles. To split hairs, Daleks aren’t robots though. They’re probably closer the cyborg family since the pepperpot body is more like an armored car or tank containing this creepy little hateful organism driven to kill anything which isn’t pure as it is. You know, it’s an armed, portable receptacle for the raw essences of Ann Coulter, Michelle Bachmann, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. I know half would kill Bender since he’s Mexican (technically manufactured there).
Due to the wrinkles from me wearing the shirt, you can’t see all the victims. I did write to the artist who kindly provided an answer key. I was going to have a contest to name them but I want to test my friends’ memory/fandom skills not their abilities to “cheat” through Google or other search engines. I managed to get the majority, those I didn’t know are in highlighted in red.
- C-3PO (See Threepio)
- R2-D2 (Artoo Deetoo)
- Robocop
- Bender B. Rodriguez
- V.I.N.C.E.N.T. from The Black Hole
- Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet but has appeared in Lost in Space, The Twilight Zone and Mork & Mindy.
- Voltron, the lion version
- Rosie from The Jetsons
- WALL•E
- GLaDOS from the videogame Portal
- The NES Gyromite which used to come with the first Nintendo system to get US/Canadian retailers to carry it; videogames were poison so Nintendo emphasized the accessory part as a robot toy until the market was safe again.
What I thought I saw but I was wrong:
- Johnny/Number 5 from Short Circuit
- Robot from Lost in Space (Sixties TV version)
