Warning - if you take your sci-fi seriously, I would advise a series of deep breaths before reading this list. entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article2133609.eceFor starters - C-3P0 is in the 40s. And the fucking robot from Virtuosity(!) is in the TOP FIVE. But hey, whatever. It rates them under Plausibility, Coolness, Dangerousness and Comedy Value. State your grievances..... now. |

Star Wars Battle Droids beat 3PO! I hate those goddamned bastards! Who would program a robot army to act like fucking retards? Check out the new Clone Wars CG movie for more examples of this stupidity! Optimus fucking Prime at 30! Really?!?! And no sign of Megatron or Bumblebee either. Droidekas are pretty kickass, though.

The whole battle droid thing never made sense to me. Think about this..
You are a war mongering space terrorist, and you have infinite access to robots who can roll after their enemy and have a force field to stop bullets. They don't need sleep, they don't need food or water, they don't get scared and they don't have families or conflicting emotions. They won't answer back, they won't feel guilt over the terrible deeds they're forced to do. In short - they are the perfect mass weapon.
So would YOU suddenly scrap them all, with absolutely no sign, trace or even MENTION, for a new army of human soldiers in costumes that have all of the above weaknesses? Because that's the notion they expect us to swallow with regards the timelines between EpI and EpIV. Unless there's some reasoning behind it that I haven't heard.
And the more I look at that list the more it annoys me. If you're judging these robots on the coolness, plausibility, funny angles - why the fuck is the female terminator from T3 in there at all? Cool - nope. (Hot, yes, but that's another category). Funny? Nope. Plausible? Hell no - yet she's there and Megatron and Starscream aren't?! Arrrrgh, my blood pressure..

I do believe jazz is the best transformer in the whole series but unfortunatly in the movie they had to kill him off because he was to godly to be included in the movie.. also love the robot DotMatrix out of spaceballs just becuase it is joan rivers.. But Megatron should have been in the Top 10 with Prime.

Jazz wasn't all that in the movie - they may as well have called him Token Black, because that's pretty much what he was.

In "Futurama" they would have called him Ebonics-Bot.
