Pick Your Human Half: Difference between revisions

'''Tachikoma 3:''' It's the ultimate robot strategy plan!

'''All four Tachikomas, in unison:''' ''[monotone]'' We are robots. We are robots. We are robots.

 

If a major robotic character [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|looks human]] (is an "android" in the looser sense of the term), there is a very good chance that they will [[Deceptively-Human Robots|act robotic]], [[The Stoic|being unemotional]] and [[Creative Sterility|uncreative]], and given to [[Robo Speak]]. On the other hand, if a major robotic character looks completely mechanical, there is a very good chance that they [[Sliding Scale of Robot Intelligence|think]] and [[Personality Chip|act quite human]], exhibiting plenty of emotion and saying quite human things even if they say them in a [[Robo Speak]] accent.

** Which is then subverted by "[[Becoming the Mask|Allison from Palmdale]]." ''Hard.''

 

* Jones from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' deserves mention—though it's unclear whether she's a gynoid or not, Antimony suspects she is, and her stoic personality is one of the main reasons.

** Well, there's that and the fact that large swords don't usually go *SKANG* and bounce off upon hitting the cheekbones of diminutive women. Characters whose word may or may not be trusted have declared that Annie's suspicions are ridiculous, however.

** Another example are B4-D4 and T1-N1, from the Czerka office. Both are uncannily similar to 3PO and R2, except for being quite sociopathic.

 

* Pretty much any of the Robots from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]''. The only known exception are [[Mechanical Lifeforms|the TicTocs]], which look and act like birds.

** Except, well, see above.
