(from memory)

I always thought of Robbie (Forbidden Planet) and Robot (Lost in Space) as being very similar, but now that I draw them I realize the only thing they have in common is a plexiglass head. The giant robot from Dr Who I can’t remember very well at all– that’s supposed to be him third from the left. I would have drawn Hector, but unfortunately I can’t remember what he looked like, except that his (organic) brain was inside his torso, and where his head should be were only glowing eyes on a mechanical arm. The floating midget bot is V.I.N.CENT (The Black Hole), and is also how I remember Huey, Dewey and Louie (Silent Running)– except I don’t think they could hover, so I’ve no idea what their undercarriage looked like.

Belated props to the creator of Robbie for not resorting to flexible plastic ducting for his limbs :)
