Time to take a break from the infighting among the superheroes, and time to get practical. This week it’s a battle between Model B-9, Class M-3 General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot – you know, that robot from Lost in Space, and the 7 foot, 2 inch tall mechanical behemoth from the MGM 1956 classis Forbidden Planet – Robby the Robot.

Robby FTW.
My girlfriend will often watch Suzy Orman while I’m on the internet and I overheard a call-in viewer on the “Can I Afford It?” segment asking if Suzy thought he could afford a life-size Robby the Robot. I think it was like $7000.00. She said “no.” My girlfriend didn’t understand why I thought that was too bad for the guy.
Ah well.
You know. There was an episode of Lost in Space where the two actually did throw down. If memory serves, Robby had outclassed B-9 and was expected to mop up the floor but with the guile and aid of Will Robinson, B-9 prevailed. Does anyone else have a better memory of that episode?
Scott: I remember the episode as well, and since it is/was lost in space, I’m sure B-9 won… even though we all know that wouldn’t be the case in the real world. Robby takes out the creator of Fish-Heads, and B-9 breaks down crying like a little girl…
What, no Optimus Prime?
Robby! Robby! Robby!
DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER! Model B-9, ftw.
“What, no Optimus Prime?”
R2-D2 scoffs at your faith in a talking robot.
If B-9 had never been anything more than a prop on the set of LiS, just being the link between TV’s Zorro, Timmy’s mom, Space Academy and the co-ruler of Lumania would be enough to come out on top.
Plus Robby loses all cred for being in a low-rent Shakespeare rip-off.
Robby the Robot is the cool icon that was trashed to construct “the Robot” from Lost in Space. The Robot has no personality, other than being a flat, redesign of the family dog. Robby was in the Twilight Zone, Wonder Woman, and the Banana Splits that computes to awesome. To paraphrase Sam Jackson,”Personality goes a long way.” (please add mother-fuckers and exclamation points as needed).
