Robots:
• WALL-E, from WALL-E
• H.E.L.P.er, from Venture Brothers
• Lillybot, from the anime Yu-Gi-Oh ZeXal
• Orbital 7, also from the anime Yu-Gi-Oh ZeXal.
*Orbital is fascinating
because he is a robot that stutters, indicating he is a dated model, but is still
useful to his master, Kite. He addresses
Kite as “Master Kite” and cares for his well-being.
• Bumblebee, from Transformers Prime. I love the robot buzzing sounds he makes when he “talks,” because it sounds so "robot."
• Chappie, from CHAPPiE.

What really makes Axl, Mega Man X and Zero stand out from the other androids is that they appear to have soft-looking cheeks. Kikaider, Mega Man X, Zero, and Astro Boy all are capable of having emotions and compassion.
