TV Head Robot

Exactly What It Says on the Tin. An automaton, robot or droid with a television set for a head.

Say the technology for synthetic skin has not yet been perfected and you want to avoid the Uncanny Valley. Maybe you don't have much but some spare parts, dwindling funds and a TV at your disposal. Maybe it just looks cool. For whatever reason, this is a robot or other sentient being with a monitor onto which they project images or outright words that are often snarky responses to people interacting with them.

Not to be confused with a sentient AI or a talking computer. This strictly applies to walking automatons.

Often speaks through a variant of Talking with Signs. Compare/contrast Surveillance Drone and The Blank.

 * Telly, the "son" of Tank and Booga, in Tank Girl.
 * Arguably, Arnim Zola could qualify. His face is displayed on a screen in his chest.

 * RoboCop 2's Big Bad, Cain.
 * The Walking TV from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, of course.

Web Comics

 * Rice Boy has T.O.E., a bit of an unusual example. Instead of pictures drawn by the author, he projects scenes from movies and television shows much more like, well, an actual TV. He also smokes.
 * The TV cat in the Dresden Codak Story Arc Dark Science. As of yet, the nature of this creature (robot? cyborg??) isn't clear, though.

Western Animation

 * Transformers Animated has Tutor Bot, a direct Shout-Out to Lord Canti. Wreck-Gar's head was specifically designed to resemble a TV, due to the fact that G1 Junkions were obsessed with Earth TV programming.
