Poll question: If you could be a bad ass robot what kind of robot would you be?

I would be a Bending Unit. Cause I could drink and smoke and chase hookers and it would be good for me.

18. rcrush there is a GROVELBOT

RCRUSH, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Rcrush, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, RCRUSH, there is a GROVELBOT. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no GROVELBOT. It would be as dreary as if there were no RCRUSHS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in GROVELBOT! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch GROVELBOT, but even if they did not see GROVELBOT coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees GROVELBOT, but that is no sign that there is no GROVELBOT. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, RCRUSH, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No GROVELBOT! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Rcrush, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

6. Data.

Just ask Tasha Yar why! (Not that she'd ever answer such a personal question though ....but in the words of James Tiberius Kirk: "You can ask!")

12. How about Major Kusanagi Motoko (The Major) from "Ghost in the Shell"

Full-body "prosthetic", so technically a robot :D
Although the shot-up tachikoma in the middle is a full robot and AI. It's kind of funny in one of the series where they develop a form of independence, only to have it purged by their human caretakers...

You tune them in different modes by pushing a button, but I'd also demand a self playing feature....
