Robots? Robots!

jetpack_monkeyI'm making super-multisource vid about robots that will show at Vividcon this year in the Artificial Life vidshow. I've gathered... quite the collection of sources, but I know there are some areas where I'm not particularly savvy -- like a lot of television, anime, and videogames.
Additionally, not all of the robots that I have source for will make the final vid, so I'm trying to prioritize as best I can.
Are there any robots that would give you great joy to see in such a vid? Leave me a comment!
To get even more specific, here are some areas where I need help:
For the purposes of my vid, robots are artificial, inorganic or partially inorganic beings with artificial intelligence (sentient or semi-sentient). No piloted mech suits, remote-controlled 'bots, or human brains in robot bodies. Human-form Cylons are just outside the scope of my vid, as are the nanobots from Big Hero 6. However, The Terminator counts, as do regular cylons, and Baymax. I may include cybermen just to contradict myself, but not Daleks.

- Robots being constructed
- Dancing/celebrating robots
- Robots forming bonds with humans
- Robots forming bonds with robots
- Humans being mean to robots
- Human-on-robot violence
- Individual robots physically assaulting humans / revolting against human infrastructure.
- Robot armies / large groups of threatening looking robots

Date: 2015-04-19 03:56 am (UTC)Like within the context of Flight of the Conchords "Robots" music video, they're robots, but within the context of that context, they're dudes in tin foil and cardboard costumes on a television series about musicians making a music video. AWESOME-o on South Park is Cartman dressed as a robot, but Butters accepts the robotic fantasy as reality. Daft Punk is two dudes in robot costumes, but then aren't all robots that aren't CG, animatronics, or puppets also dudes in suits?
The line is weird enough that I'm shying away from it for the moment until the vid is feeling stronger on the timeline.
