that's not even the best robot in the franchise

3rd-best at most behind OP and this little bucket of Geneva Convention violations:

This guy cleans up Earth after humans destroyed it, then with the help of his plump little girlfriend and a cockroach, proceeds to save humanity from obesity and destruction. GOAT!

Replicants aren’t robots though are they? I thought they were more like genetically modified clones. 

Roy Batty is an all timer though. Blade Runner is free on YouTube right now.

1. Your first entry is a strong candidate. 

2. That you listed any more shows that you didn't understand the assignment.

I just listed some of the good ones I could think of. Depends on what the qualifications are - does it have to be a physical, metallic-type being or can we do androids like in bladerunner or manifestations of AI like HAL and Agent Smith?

What about worst/most annoying ones? Like the fucking kid in AI.
