Not every killing machine can be a T-1000 , Megatron , or HAL . Some killbots are masses of sentient confect , evil skyscraper , or half - Gorilla gorilla aliens . Here are ten moving-picture show and TV killbots who flunked out of malevolent robot school .

The Kandy Man from Doctor Who
On the 1988 Who sequence “ The Happiness Patrol , ” the TARDIS land on the planet Terra Alpha , where a undecomposed humor - obsessed secret police round up any citizens with sour thoughts ( such as the harmonica take on bluesman , Earl Sigma ) . The Happiness Patrol disposes of these “ killjoys ” by wrick them over to the Kandy Man , a confectionary robot who executes undesirables with the Fondant Surprise , or a calamitous shower of sear candy .
The Kandy Man think it was doing its victim a favor , as the Fondant Surprise was purportedly so delicious it overwhelm its victim with life - terminate pleasure . If any Who scoundrel deserves a replication , it ’s this guy .
Bluey the Clown from F / X2
1991 ’s F / X2 : The Deadly Art of Illusion not only had one of the best form of address of 1990s action celluloid , it had one of the most absurd automaton battles to boot . When stuntman Rollie Tyler is face with a bad guy , he dons his zany telemetry suit . Getting kill by a clown is a rotten room to go , but getting offed by Bozo the Bunraku is the epitome of ignominious deaths . ( Thanks to cljohnston108 for mentioning this carnival bot ! )

The Cyber Ninja from Mirai Ninja
This 1988 filmwas based on an colonnade secret plan of the same name and was more or less Tron + Terminator + ninjutsu ( although the movie ’s final tantrum in whicha dojo turns into giant spider / mecha / tank is trashily dainty ) . Granted , Cyber Ninja ’s of the more diginified killbots in this article , but the Tron shurikens and leap jets are nonetheless ludicrous .
Box from Logan ’s rivulet
After they turn tail the Carousel , runners Logan and Jessica meet Box , a food preservation robot whose programming has run low awry . Instead of freeze food , Box ices up all organic matter that come his way ( humans let in ) . His perturb actor’s line are priceless — “ Fish ! And plankton ! And ocean William Green ! And protein from the sea ! ”
Johnny Cab from Total Recall
Johnny Cab ’s not a killbot per se , but if you examine to get your keister to Mars without paying the menu , he ’ll mow you down .

The Samurai Robots from Futureworld
As the robotic puncher in Westworld , Yul Brennerwas a dusty - eyed , cold - metal killer . What do we get in its sequel Futureworld ? Angry samurai robots who are farted out of holograph . Whoopie doo .

The Tower from The Tower
In this 1993 TV movie , a computerized skyscraper malfunctions and tries to pop Paul Reiser . This film was exactly like 2001 , if 2001 assume place on Earth , star Paul Reiser , and was remembered by absolutely no one .
The Otomo from Robocop 3
More ninjabots ! Robocop is a classic , Robocop 2 is a deoxyephedrine classic , and Robocop 3 is the one Peter Weller did n’t star in . In the third installing of the Robosaga , Omni Consumer Products ’ dominance over Detroit is challenged by the Kanemitsu Corporation and their Otomo ninja cyborgs . How effective are they ? Robocop defeats one lie down . I ’d buy this movie for ( nothing more ) than a dollar .

Vera from Superman III
Superman III had its own unique brand of crazy , what with Richard Pryor ski off buildings andSupes make tankedandruining the Olympics . The picture show ’s final villain continued its run of WTFfery — Vera , the wind villain ’s querulous sister , is transformed into a mawkish hodgepodge cyborg by an out - of - controller supercomputer . Did DC lose the rights to Brainiac in 1983 ?
Ro - Man from Robot Monster .
Ro - Man is the granddaddy of all derisory killbots , hailing from the far - off twelvemonth of 1953 . Was he an foreigner ? A Gorilla gorilla ? A golem ? All three ? None of the above ? In any showcase , Ro - Man could n’t kill the final eight remaining earthman because he had a press on one of the last ladies leave on the planet . Weak ! Also , do malevolent gorilla killbots go through puberty?Mystery Science Theater 3000 gave this pic the once over .
