R2-D2
Has there ever been a more loyal droid than R2-D2? First showing up in our lives back in 1977, this little guy has been by the sides of both Luke Skywalker in the original “Star Wars” trilogy and by his father Anakin’s side during the prequels. In fact, R2 is one of the only characters in “a Galaxy far, far away” to appear in all three trilogies!
Wall-E
Pixar really hit the jackpot when they brought Wall-E into our lives. Waste Allocation Load Lifter: Earth Class, otherwise known as Wall-E, is a robot with a heart of gold and captured the hearts of millions of moviegoers around the world when his own movie came out back in 2008.
T-800
We would go as far as to say that the T-800 is the most terrifying robot ever to be depicted on the big screen. Of course, we see this killing machine show up dressed as Arnold Schwarzenegger in pretty much every installment of “The Terminator” franchise. But underneath that seemingly human skin – well, you see this.
The Iron Giant
The story of “The Iron Giant” is a pretty remarkable one. It tells the tale of a young boy during the Cold War, who befriends a giant alien robot who came from out of space. Did you know that Vin Diesel voiced the titular Iron Giant in the 1999 movie? No? Neither did we!
C-3PO
This is a bit of a cheat – seeing that we nearly always see R2-D2 and his sidekick C-3PO together, side by side in the “Star Wars” movies. Unlike R2, “Threepio” is a protocol droid who is fluent in virtually every single language and is able to actually communicate with others on a fairly human level.
