No R2-D2, no Max from Flight of the Navigator? Fail.

  1. Marvin (The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy)
  2. K9 Mark III (Dr Who)
  3. 11-45-G (Love, Death & Robots)
  4. P-5000 Power Loader (Alien) -- not a robot per se
  5. IG-11 and K2SO (Star Wars) -- couldn't decide which one I prefer :)

I feel like articles such as this deliberately include controversial choices - like the power loader - just to drum up hits and discussion.

I think Mr. Spacedock was right on the money with his comments on the Geth. A robot designed with highly advanced technology to fill the role of a human-like creature would likely move and act very much like a human-like creature, with muscles and soft skin. The typical sci-fi robot with exposed joints and metal plates all over their body wouldn't do so well, they'd get crud caught in their openings and get all dented and scratched on those nice shiny surfaces.
