The top 50 robots and AI computers in the movies


Denofgeek.com has a really cool article highlighting the top 50 robots and AI computers in movies.

Ranging from Bubo the mechanical owl in Clash of the Titans, to SICO from Rocky IV, to Skynet from all of the Terminator films, it's got it all.

Coming in at number 41 is Godzilla from the original Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla!

Here's what they have to state about his inclusion:

"A great and literal example of a ‘Mirror Villain’, a baddie who represents and twists all that makes our hero good. MechaGodzilla is one of my favourite monsters, mainly because he’s as powerful as the big G, and normally can only be taken down by two or more guys helping Godzilla. He’s got a rainbow coloured laser beam that shoots out of his mouth, a spinning head, and missiles in his fingers and toes. He’s also made of space titanium, which as everyone knows is the best kind of titanium.

Most importantly though, he is a worthy foe for Godzilla, the type of threat which the films needed in order to put a real sense of danger and jeopardy in them. And for that, MechaGodzilla fully deserves his place amongst the elite."


So true, so true.

What Venom is to Spider-Man, what the Red Skull is to Captain America, what Joker is the Batman, all equal opposites of each other, MechaGodzilla is to Godzilla.
