rgs (they aren't living anymore)nor androids (they used to be alive, so they aren't fully artificially created). Automata would actually work closely with them, in the classic Graeco-Latin sense of the word. But I guess this is up to interpretation of what the Necrons actually are.
Famous examples of androids in popular culture
- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (or Blade Runner, if you like films more). Humans create artificial humans as slaves, and after a revolt they hunt them all down. This is an interesting case because they are organic beings, but still artificially made, so the definition is just barely apt in this case.
- I, Robot. In the classic Isaac Asimov's short story, there are some robots that could be described as android.
- Metropolis. Mad science creates a robot that resembles a humble woman to bring chaos and ruin to the city.
- The day the Earth stood still. An alien brings a doomsday machine in the form of a human to "peacefully" stop all wars on Earth.
- Terminator. Machines rise against humanity, using human-like assassins to kill the remaining human beings.
- Marvel Comics. Characters like Vision or Ultron are thinking robots in human-like form.
- Megaman. The saga of a little blue android fighting other robots to keep the peace in the world.
- NieR Automata. Cute android fighting other androids not as cute.
- Astro Boy. One of the most important works in manga history, it tells the adventures of a little android that gets adopted after its original creator abandons him.
- Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Second and science officer of both the Enterprise D and E. Throughout the series and movies he displays feats of both superhuman speed and strength, such as dodging a mining laser and fighting the Borg in hand to hand combat.
|This article or section is about Monstergirls (or a monster that is frequently depicted as a Monstergirl), something that /tg/ widely considers to be the purest form of awesome. Expect PROMOTIONS! and /d/elight in equal measure, often with drawfaggotry or writefaggotry to match.|
They're more of an /a/, /co/ and /v/ phenomena than a /tg/ one, but robots in the shape of sexy women, ranging from "perfectly human until you see their internals" to "visibly mechanical but still sexy", are a well and truly established branch of the monstergirls family tree. What else can we say? Some guys in the late-70s/80s found their first crush in the succubus, elf or marilith - others found it in Cutie Honey.
In the Monster Girl Encyclopedia, the Automaton is a mechanical magitek branch of the golem which taps into the robot-girl branch of the fetish. They're ancient lost technology golems of the "kuudere" archetype, meaning they act cold and emotionless because they can't express themselves well, but they're secretly very gentle and loving beings.
