Robot vs Robot: Ultimate Face Off

According to most Sci-Fi movies, the ultimate warrior of the future is the robot. They’re stronger, faster, and more accurate. Actually, they’re better than humans at pretty much everything (don’t worry, we’re sure no robot can binge Netflix quite as you can). In this list, we face off against the greatest robots in movies, tv shows, anime, and comics.

Faceoff: Service Robots

We love cartoon Robots! Astromech droids, Ship robots, protocol units—old and rusty with missing parts or shiny, top-of-the-line new synthetic models—just bring them on. Robots inherently possess one of the main elements that make great believable characters—a primary function they were programmed to do from which all their actions are derived. Well-written robots in fiction just work! In this category, we face off against the greatest robotic assistants and companions in fiction.

Faceoff: Giant Mecha

Who needs to drive a meek tank when you can control a 100-meter humanoid robot that wields a gigantic beam saber and fires off missiles? No doubt — Mecha is just infinitely cooler than any other armored fighting vehicle. And when they’re really enormous, they’re even cooler! From their huge mechanical frames to their destructive might, these towering titans of metal have exactly what it takes to blow our minds away. However, after decades of good Mecha fun, an inevitable question arose: just which Mecha is the strongest? Let’s try to answer this ENORMOUS question.

Megazord vs Gundam

Scenario: There’s a gigantic radioactive four-handed monster approaching the shore from the ocean. Which legendary giant Mecha would you send to stop it, Megazord (Power Rangers, movie) or Gundam (Mobile Suit Gundam 00 The Movie -A Wakening of the Trailblazer)?

Scenario: Your city mall needs an extreme makeover. Which giant Mecha do you unleash to level it to the ground, Lancelot (Code Geass, anime series) or Eva Unit 02 (Neon Genesis Evangelion, anime series)?

Faceoff: Artificial Intelligence Robots

Artificial intelligence is depicted in most Sci-Fi works as a threat to human civilization. The usual scenario is that the AI goes rogue and becomes the dominant form of intelligence on Earth, with robots effectively taking the control of the planet away from the human species. In this category, we have a wide variety of AIs, from those that are confined to local networks, to local computers and those supercomputers that are hooked into everything.

Gerty vs Hue

Scenario: The end of the world has come and guess what? You’re the only survivor! You and your trusty AI, that is. Which artificial companion do you choose to keep you company?

Deus Ex Machina vs Skynet

Scenario: All-out war! You can unleash one of the below AI to wreak havoc on your enemy. Who do you choose?

Viki vs Red Queen

Scenario: Congratulations, you have finally finished your third Ph.D. in artificial intelligence! It’s time to get to work! Which AI do you choose to develop?

HAL 9000 vs William

Karen Plankton vs Sally

You need to implement new artificial intelligence in your city; the last thing you need is for it to go rogue and kill everyone. Which AI is more trustworthy?
