Line 53:
* The robot population in [[Fritz Leiber]]'s "The Silver Eggheads" is divided into males and females because it turns out to be very beneficial to robotic mental health to be able to have sex -- robotic sex, which entails sharing power on the same circuit. They don't have to do this by an exacting emulation of human sex, but that's the way it works out culturally, possibly in a collective form of wanting to [[Become a Real Boy]].
* The Stalker Fang of ''[[Mortal Engines]]'', while technically a cyborg, not a robot, is designed to look feminine, being sleeker and more elegant than other Stalkers.
* The [[Incredibly Lame Pun|titular]] character in the obscure TSR sci-fi novel ''Warsprite,'' whom the main human protagonist still falls in love with.
* In the novel Code Of The Lifemaker sentient robots (the result of a damaged alien factory ship crashing on the moon Titan and attempting to fulfill its damaged programming imperatives) living in a medieval society actually come in 'male' and 'female' flavors, right down to the females becoming pregnant as a result of programming code exchange which they then upload into one of the many sprawling factory computers where the 'child' is assembled.
Line 98:
* In ''[[Freefall]]'' robots divide themselves into gender categories based on how much talking they do. None of them particularly look gendered, and the identified females are commonly bigger and stronger than their male peers.
* ''[[Last Res0rt]]'' has several female robot combinations:
** Gangrel (and Breya) are Cybee dolls with female owners; it's implied that Cybees are designed to mimic their owners, so the dolls may be technically genderless until paired up with an owner.
** Siege is either a [[Replacement Goldfish]] or a [[Brain In a Jar]], but either way she still considers herself female.
** Peloton, who is very much an out-and-out fembot, complete with breastplate, eyelashes, and corset / gorget combo with [[Tron Lines]].
== [[Web Original]] ==
* In ''[[
* The mechanical [[Cute Monster Girl|K-Girls]] from ''[[Twisted Kaiju Theater]]'' fall into this category more than [[Robot Girl]] due to being [[Rule 34|sexy]] [[Rule 63|parodies]] of various super-robots and mecha.
* In ''[[Ilivais X]]'', Ashe Gogus's mech, Ilivais B, is undeniably feminine, with energy cells housed in giant domes on the chest. Considering Ashe believes [[Big Breasts, Big Deal|boobs are the most important thing in the universe]], this is hardly surprising.
Line 113:
** Bender himself, in one episode, becomes one of these after he has the Professor induce a [[Gender Bender]]... [[Incredibly Lame Pun|I just can't bring myself to finish that sentence]].
* ''[[Transformers]]'' also has female Transformers from time to time, who include [[Action Girl|Action Girls]] (both regular and [[Dark Action Girl|Dark]]), [[The Medic|medics]] and [[The Chick|damsels]].
** Especially notable names include Arcee (pictured above) and Blackarachnia.
** Strika is a fembot -- which are outnumbered about five hundred to one in Transformers -- that [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:BMStrika.jpg doesn't look even remotely female]. Has a lovely voice, though.
*** Except in ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', where she's clearly female- but still [[Brawn Hilda|nowhere near attractive]].
** The Marvel Comics Transformers series responds to a letter asking why there were no female Transformers with something to the effect of, "You assume that Transformers are male and female, and that any Transformer not explicitly female is implicitly male." Unfortunately, the current IDW Comics series opted not to do it that way, having a [[Mad Scientist]] turn an Autobot female to see what happens if you throw gender into a genderless race. The victim, Arcee, talks about how people treat her now, and even use different pronouns, and... basically, not being one of the boys anymore. It becomes clear that Jhiaxus didn't introduce gender to a genderless race, but a ''woman'' to an ''all-male'' race - and of course, there is no good reason for non-sexually-reproducing robots to be male, either. Things wind up making [[Voodoo Shark|much less sense]] than they would make if the question were simply ignored, as most series have.
** ''[[Transformers Cybertron]]'' gave us Thunderblast. Let's see... [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]], [[Underboobs]], and in one scene in ep. 32, ''[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:ThunderblastBoobsAndNipples01.jpg visible nipples]''.
* Jenny from ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]''
* Neosapiens in ''[[Exo Squad]]'' are not robots but close: asexual [[Artificial Human|Artificial Humans]] created as slaves for normal humans. One'd think that making them in two (cosmetic) genders would be superfluous but it was done for some reason...
** Note that it wasn't until the ''end'' of the series that giving Neosapiens the ability to sexually reproduce was even seriously discussed.
* In ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius|The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron]]'', Jimmy constructs a robotic substitute mother (AKA Maternotron) while his own mom is away at the spa.
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'' has the Bebebots, a trio of feminine robots with a [[Hive Mind]] (and...well, beehive hairdos). They were initially made to be dates, but were later redesigned to be [[Killer Robot|weapons of revenge]].
* ''[[X-Men]]'' villain Master Mold was voiced by a woman in ''[[Wolverine and the X-Men]]''. When Xavier encountered it in the end...Yup, gigantic metal titties.
