Perhaps we're so enamored with Robby from FORBIDDEN PLANET because he was the first real depiction in form with our vision of what a real functioning robot would look like.

Not since Maria in METROPOLIS had there been such a vision!



BUT...Robots have been portrayed for a very long time before Robby was ever conceived.

And one thing I have to say...They seemed to attract a lot of good looking women!

Ladies and gentlemen...I give you...
FRIENDS OF OL' ROBBY!

Some are terrifying...
Some are just downright silly...
But all are fascinating!

________________________________

Wow, what an absolutely stunning gallery of rare and wonderful images! Shocked

I don't think I've ever seen 95% of them before. You certainly made your point beautifully about the number of movie, TV, and promotional robots that have existed — many of which we weren't even aware of!

Sir, you are to be commended for coming up with the idea, doing the extensive research, compiling and organizing the images, and presenting your concept so eloquently. Very Happy

Many thanks, my friend!

The photo of George Reeves with the robot that appeared in an episode of the "Adventures of Superman" was also in the comedy film ''The Bowery Boys Meet The Monsters."

I think you're mistaken. Tobor doesn't seem to one of the images above.
