Line 10:
== Fanworks ==
* ''[[Friendship Is Witchcraft]]'' features in episode 4 a discussion about robots. Episode 5 focuses on one, and her servos could use some maintenance. Not that anyone cares.
* Referencing the ''Big O'' example above, Dorothy's counterpart in ''[[Undocumented Features]]'' can ''choose'' to move and sound mechanical, although by default she is indistinguishable from a human. She usually reserves doing so for those times when [[Deadpan Snarker|she's dealing with someone with an irrational prejudice against robots]].
== Film ==
* ''[[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.
* [[Short Circuit|Johnny 5]] makes all kinds of noise when he moves around, but it's natural, since he's animatronic.
