"I am Bender, please insert girder."

Here is another card in my limited-edition robot trading card series™. Bender is my favorite robot. In the pantheon of robotdom only R2D2 comes close (and a distant second at that).

Bender isn't great because he smokes cigars and uses foul language. It's not his womanizing, drunkenness, thievery, or lying that makes him great either. Bender is great because his indifference and selfishness are rendered benign by his feelings for Fry (and everyone else at Planet Express).

I would love some nominees for the most useless/worst robots category. I'm quite certain Roboz from Riptide would make the list. I think H.E.L.P.eR from the Venture Brothers deserves a nomination.

Here is a list of "favorite robots" I found on the Internets®. I am happy to report that the blogger/writer/author included Small Wonder in the montage.

She's fantastic. Made of plastic. Micro chips here and there.

Before I forget...

Here's a link to the smartest toy robot in the world.
