I have always loved robots, they have always seemed so magical and exciting.Here are four of my favorites.
The first robot I remember was on TV and it was Gerry Anderson´s Fireball Xl5. Robert The Robot was shiny, transparent and electric. Robert was invented by Professor Matic and his voice was the only main character voice Gerry Anderson actually voiced himself.
The next robot who stole my heart was Robot B9 from Lost In Space, such an incredibly perfect beast of a robot. He was the best character in the show which to be honest was a little silly.I had a radio controled model of Robot B9.
I also love Forbidden Planet´s Robbie The Robot. Not only did he appear in that classic film bu also starred in The Invisible boy and made guest appearances in many TV series and films. These included, Lost In Space, The Man From U.N.C.L.E, The Monkees, Gremlins, Earth Girls Are Easy and Mork And Mindy to name just a few.
The most recent robot to make an impression on me has to be Bender from the cartoon Futurama. He is just brilliant, I have had a couple of Benders over the years!! they are made just like the old tin robots and also come with a key which I love.
