May fall into [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] or [[Older Than They Look]] unless the robot was very recently built. If they ''were'' built very recently, they might actually be [[Younger Than They Look]] instead.

* Vicki from ''[[Small Wonder]]''.

* A villainous example occurs in ''[[Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan]]'', where Black Magma builds a robot version of a man's dead daughter. {{spoiler|The robot eventually disobeys the villains because they'd programmed it to view the man as its father.}} Later, they do it again, this time replacing a living boy with a robot duplicate.

Rusty, originally meant to replace the outdated Big Guy (who is actually a [[Humongous Mecha]] with a pilot inside, despite what the public believes). However, Rusty's childish demeanor and inexperience relegate him to the post of a sidekick, while the Big Guy still takes care of the big problems.
