Okay, so this blog post was brought on by a new game coming out called Portal 2. Never played it, but watched the videos with the evil robot antagonist. Which led to this blog post to fill space, cause you can't write about just one thing. Counting down top five evil robots-
5.) OTTO from Wall-E. From the electroshock prod to the sinister red eye, the Pixar animated autopiolet in the movie Wall-E was smooth and fluid...yet tried to kill Wall-E and Eve and everyone else who wanted to make the world a better place.
4.) HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odessey- I don't think Hal was really bad. ( Haven't seen the movie, so I can't really say for sure.) The sinster red eye, the disembodied voice, the basis for Number Five on this list, embodies all that is evil in the mechanical world. However, Hal was good hearted, but he couldn't understand a higher distinction than 'preserve the human's life' which is what his controllers did by limiting what he could tell them in the name of 'national security' . Hal was really just a small child, alone and confused.
3.) Ummmm...Oh yeah, MEGATRON. Not so much a robot as a hugemongous death-dealing uber-machine. From his multiple transformations (gun, tank, plane etc al.) to his perpetual sneer, he is one robot baddie that you do not want to tangle with.
2.) THE TERMINATOR. Haven't seen the movies, so I can't judge, but no list is complete with out the Terminator. Besides, Arnie could totally take on Megatron mano-e-mano and come out on top.
1.) GLaDOS- the whole reason for this post. GLaDOS is a super-computer and the main villian in the original Portal game. She taunts the protagonist, Chell, and makes it appear like an accident that Chell nearly keeps on dying...and is polite the whole time. Now, in the new game, she is P.O'ed and she is determined to outright kill Chell-but still being polite about it. She doesn't do the dirty work, just uses giant lasers, automatic turrets, and other death dealing machines. I think really is all I am saying is that she is one scary lady...which is probably the point. The game play looks awesome, and intense, and she appears to be really angry at you. Making her even more scary.
