Line 55:
* ''[[Anachronox]]''. PAL-18 was originally built as a toy (the series is considered valuable collector's items) but is custom-equipped with hacker software and functional weapons. And Mystech capability. And self-awareness. And the personality of a bratty eight-year old. All in all making him far more useful than anything manufactured recently.
* While it isn't touched on much in the games, the ''Mega Man'' series can be seen as an example. In the ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Classic]]'' and ''[[Mega Man X|X]]'' series the heroes have to defeat newer and newer models of robots, knowing that they themselves stay the same.
** The story of the ''X'' series partly revolves around the fact that the only reason X and Zero can save the world is ''because'' they are old robots: Reploids are created with a newer manufacturing process (and lack their [[Restraining Bolt|Restraining Bolts]]s) that make them easier to succumb to [[The Virus]] and do evil.
* Joey in ''[[Beneath a Steel Sky]]''. Even though he's built from scrap parts found in garbage dumps in the Australian wasteland where Roberts' tribe lives, he manages to interact with, even outsmart, more modern robots/programs. Also, his circuit board seems to be compatible with most robots they encounter ({{spoiler|Even the latest type of artificial human LINC has created.}}).
