Meet the FrikBots

[FrikaC]

scar3crow's latest news post reminded me of way back when I was sillier, I compiled a group of images of all the FrikBot names, and since I'm temporarily bored, I thought maybe I'd link them all here and see how many of you know all the references. If you don't know them all, then shame on you.

Bishop
Erwin
FrikBot
Gort
Hal
Gypsy
Hudson
Krosis
Kryten
Lore
Marvin
Max
Nomad
PimpBot

Fun =)

Perhaps later on I could do a replying compilation for the names used in Transfusion.

5 out of 16

I suck

[Sajt]

FrikBot = bot, Hal = Hal 9000, Kryten = Red Dwarf, Lore = Data, Marvin = HHTTG, Pimpbot = that character from Conan?

[Lardarse]

Lore is actually Data's "evil twin"

[leileilol]

dont' forget Nomad = ST:TOS, Gort = The Day the Earth stood still, and Servo = MST3K.

My kingdom for a cylon!

[FrikaC]

The thing about cylons, at least when the list was originally created, is there were no named ones. The new series has a few named ones, but that;s too little too late.

Pimp bot is indeed from Conan, and I thought that one would be obscure and no one would get it

Actually, that's not exactly accurate.

In the original series, the pointy coneheaded cylon that was more or less baltar's butt boy was named "Lucifer". And what about the "imperious leader"? Oh, and there was also that cylon from the crappy "Galactica 1980" that got named "Cy".

[FrikaC]

Imperious Leader is a title, not a name. But yeah. It's been so long since I've seen the original, Lucifer et al slipped my mind.

[Sajt]

Pimp bot 5000 is one thing, but what's a cylon?

BTW I kind of miss Conan. AKA I miss having a TV

[spamalam]

ah, you got the right hudson methinks That's the one i'd have chosen too, in "but where would all the calculators go?" mode.
Obviously those that aren't boys from the dwarf would probably have chosen hudson from Aliens.

but what's a cylon

Either:

or:

or:


depending on your budget.

[SkinnedAlive]

My vote's on the original cylons every time.

[spamalam]

Just wait for a Christopher Walken cylon to turn up...

[Canadian*Sniper]

Ah Black Hole. I completely forget what that movie was about but I remember Vincent and Bob as well as the scene of the star coming towards the actors at incredibly slow speed through a tunnel or bridge.
