Noisy Robots: Difference between revisions

* Chachamaru in the ''[[Negima]]!?'' second series had robotic noises added to accompany her movements.

* While the Combat [[Cyborg|Cyborgs]] in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' are normally silent, body parts that have been damaged beyond a certain point will emit mechanical whirring sounds when they move, as shown in the hospital scene after the massive terrorist attack by Jail in ''StrikerS''.

 

== Fanworks ==

* ''[[Star Wars]]'' is guilty of this, with most civilian droids making odd pneumatic whining sounds whenever they move and military droids that have an inexplicable clanking sound accompany their every step, even while walking on grass.

* Although not technically a robot, [[Powered Armor|the powerloader]] used by Ripley in [[Aliens]] makes satisfying hydraulic whirrs and clomps as it moves around.

 

== Literature ==

 

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* In ''[[Star Trek]]'', we have Borg drones that make mechanical and electrical noise when moving, or [[You Will Be Assimilated|assimilating]].

 

== Toys ==

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Most robotic constructs in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' are rather clanky. Justified because most of them are hostile or potentially attackable NPCs, and all NPCs have a combat noise. Robots are just noisier than most.

* [[Cyborg|The Arachnotrons, Spider Mastermind and the Cyberdemon]] from ''[[Doom]]'' make a hell of a noise when they walk around on their metal legs.

* ''[[Tekken]]'''s Jack-type cyborgs make a satisfying crashing noise when knocked over, although they're quiet when moving.

* The Dwemer Centurions in ''[[Morrowind]]'' produce a distinct metal-on-stone clacking sounds whenever they are near.

 

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* In [[Transformers]], you sometimes (different series are different on this, and many things) hear sounds as the robots move. ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' in particular has fun with it, with high-pitched whirring noises that say 'high tech' for most of them, but the old geezer of a medic, Ratchet, makes much creakier noises.
