Where's Wall-E? Bonus nerdery - how many robots can you recognise?? And a thousand wuffles to anyone who can ID the small yellow robot with the human face and red bow on the bottom left. It's driving me insane!

I don't know that one, ninazer0. I recognize a lot of them, and I see a lot I know I SHOULD recognize. And holy cow, they have Ludwig in there! I haven't thought of that little cartoon in MANY years.

I believe I have located wall-e. I used paint, and drew a 3 x 3 grid on the image, then searched each square. but, you know, spoilers suck. email me if you want info. I haz google account.

I cannot, for the life of me, remember who the propeller-headed yellow robot with the heart on his chest is. I remember it being from a cartoon from when I was *super* young (scarcely eidetic at all; though I have some very vivid still images from that era). Early 80s.

(Also missing A.B. Sitter from Fantastic Max; I just happened to go looking for him, though I might've missed him.)

I don't even know what Wall-E is.

You should really check out Wall-E, Senyar... such a cool movie.

That does look like fun, BP. I'll look out for it coming on TV.

ninazer0, that's Samantha from the Telebugs.

Oh man, they have the robot dog from C.O.P.S. I had forgotten that show even existed. No sign of any of the "Bots Master" series robots though. I got up at 5am on Saturday mornings wayyy too often to watch crappy robot cartoons.

Slightly larger and clearer version here btw, as well as a numbered silhouette version.

Wait, wait - they added 20 more robots for extra nerdery (including a Bots Master reference, yay!) Final poster and final numbers/letters. Unfortunately in finding that, it came with the answer key and now I am spoiled.

Telebugs! Awesome!

Awww, they even have the dog-thing from the original BSG. There's a lot I don't recognize but it's fun finding the robots I do recognize.

I keep hoping Rome-O and Julie-8 will show up places, but it's not to be.

No Astro-Boy, and yet they have the Laputa robot. Remember your roots, people!!

Jeez, by some fluke I found him right away!

Senyar, it's really a very sweet film, watch it!

Pixar movies usually have great snappy dialogue but this had very little and managed to be so eloquent. It's worth it, Senyar. Honest.
