[Omega Kirby]

With Soma released , the Talos Principle releasing soon for PS4 , and the new Chibi robo for 3DS, looks like robots are getting a bit of the spotlight this fall.

So tell me gaf, should there be more robot protagonists in video games? Whos/whats your favourite robot in any videogame? Sentient Robots.

Mine is for now, forever Legion

 

[John Kowalski]

shodan is mai waifu

 

[Creaking]

 

[Dennis]

That is quite the insolent question, meatbag.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

There's an entire playable robot race, Mechari, in WildStar.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

A lot of people bash it, but Robopon had pretty spiffy designs.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Sentient or non-sentient robots? Does something like Metal Gear count when it needs a pilot?

 

[Astral Dog]

Megaman Zero

 

[Varjet]

Mega Man is still dead.

 

[Robot Pants]

Seth

 

[Ishida]

Still the best.

 

[Joyful]

hk-47

 

[Creaking]

Also, points for these guys.

(Jack series from Tekken)

 

[Ken]

This guy.

 

[jello44]

Yes, more robots!

Aigis still the best.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Cain from Binary Domain.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Cain is the best character in Binary Domain. Bring him along whenever possible, sometimes to the detriment of my relationships with other squadmates.

 

[poipoipoi9]

This little guy right here from the Ratchet and Clank series.

I really do like his sections from the older PS2 games more than what the newer games tried to do with them.

 

[Creaking]

Ah, and how could I forget?

 

[Dad]

My heart belongs to Loader Bot

 

[Mature]

P-33, Nier.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Dr Nefarious is a hero for all robotkind

Also best Timesplitters 2 duo

 

[TouchMyBox]

My heart belongs to Loader Bot

Fuck yeah, Loader Bot.

 

[anothertech]

Cayde-6
He's just awesome.

 

[Jotamide]

 

[StrangeTaco]

Soundwave Superior. Other robots. Inferior.

Spoiler

I fucking love Transformers, but HK-47 is a close second.

 

[pantsattack]

If you have to ask you're a real meatbag, Meatbag.

 

[Window]

Probably not the favourite but HK-47 comes to mind first.

Cain is the best character in Binary Domain. Bring him along whenever possible, sometimes to the detriment of my relationships with other squadmates.

Spoiler

Did the same and couldn't save him because you need max level bond with everyone to do so

 

[Fat4all]

THIS IS ROB.
SIXTY-FOUR.

 

[DonMigs85]

 

[SoundPulse]

THIS IS ROB.
SIXTY-FOUR.

ROB's cool until you realize that the entire premise of Sector Z is "ROB forgets how to move the ship".

 

[Saturday]

 

[paragonpro]

This guy.

YEP

 

[grand0019]

HK-47 and Legion are probably my two favorite honestly. I like the design of the Exo in Destiny.

I can at least personally guarantee that all of these answers are correct.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

 

[CorvoSol]

My favorites were already picked, but

Labrys, of Persona 4 Arena probably isn't a better character than her sister, Aigis, but I kind of prefer Labrys over Aigis because Labrys does an outstanding job of straddling the cast of two games and fitting perfectly into either.

Zero is the coolest Mega Man and his own series is awesome as fuck.

Robo, of Chrono Trigger, is one of my favorite robot characters because he manages to be a surprisingly gentle, sensitive guy for a machine made to kill.

Shoutouts to Chibi Robo

 

[Fat4all]

 

[CorvoSol]

Cube from Live a Live is a fun pick!

Also:

Robots, from Final Fantasy Legend II, are the best race in the game.

 

[Maintenance]

My favorite from the past.

 

[V-Faction]

Robots always make the best characters.

MORE GAMES NEED MORE ROBOTS.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

KOS-MOS is a robot, right?

 

[Fat4all]

Cube from Live a Live is a fun pick!

Oh man, Cube has my favorite story segment from LiveALive, so good!

 

[MrBadger]

Gamma's neat. And he has a sympathetic backstory, too. Only story in that game that's not cringeworthy.

 

[Kinyou]

Dog from Half life is just a total bro

 

[Wasp]

B.U.D. from Grow Home.

 

[Dug]

R.O.B. is pretty cool.

 

[Creaking]

Dog from Half life is just a total bro

Totally forgot about Dog. He's baller, and plays a mean game of fetch.
