Robots? Robots!

[jetpack_monkey]

I'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:

• 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

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.

I'm pretty sure that Bender from Futurama could potentially cover a lot of these.

I have a ton of Bender and other Futurama 'bots! They are so very useful for plugging up holes in the timeline, given that the show's run long enough that every permutation of robot tropage has happened at one point or another.
