Have a WIP of an 80's sitcom robot, suddenly want to expand it to a subteam. Trying to come up with some ideas for characters.

Criteria:

-Preferably "good" guys or neutrals.

-SET on the 1980's Earth. Robot must have been depicted as existing in the 1980's WITHOUT time travel (no Terminators). I can't think of any, but robots from media created PRIOR to the 1980's but SET in that decade are fine.

-I'll consider some alien robots (Batteries Not Included) that meet the previous criteria. (No Battlestar 1980 Cylons, pretty sure most of the notable Dr. Who ones are also ruled out).

-Human Appearance a plus, based on who I'm started with, but not a hard rule (yet).

Here's who I'm thinking so far:

VICKI - Small Wonder
CHIP - Not Quite Human
DARYL - DARYL
JONNY 5 - SHORT CIRCUIT
FIXITS? - BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED

I'm looking through some lists online but want to see which ones people actually remember and think might make good members for this troop.

Exactly. Forgot him on my team last so far.

OB got the obvious one I was blanking on with Johnny 5. I thought of it at work today, but he beat me to it.

I remembered there was a robot on the Ricky Schroeder TV show 'Silver Spoons' (dating myself with that reference), which my google-fu led me to: http://cyberneticzoo.com/pseudo-automat ... -american/

Which led me to: https://dinosaurdracula.com/blog/five-great-robots/

Also there was these:

https://blog.ozobot.com/2017/11/16/10-r ... ist-today/
http://www.stellarfour.com/2013/10/10-t ... m-80s.html

The Rocky IV robot
Tik-Tok from 'Return to Oz'
Rosie from the Jetsons (earlier, but if there was an 80s cartoon...)
Nintendo ROB
Max from 'Flight of the Navigator'
Owl from 'Clash of the Titans'

Does Irona from the '80's Richie Rich cartoon count, or are you wanting strictly live-action?

I can't think of any sitcom robots beyond the ones you mentioned, but what about:
Zax from Benji, Zax, and the Alien Prince

Control from Hard Time on Planet Earth

Roboz from Riptide (the only reason I watched that show!)

Roboz from Riptide has been a WIP on my workbench for a while now. Curious how you'd do him.
Conky from Pee Wee's Playhouse, I keep flip floping whether to make one in 4" scale or just get the 5" figure.
T-Bob
Cyborg from Teen Titans
Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Glaxy tv series

If you figure out how to do Dot from Spaceballs let me know.

Good stuff guys.

I think I have my team in mind, but there are some real gems in here.

I was going to post this but does it take place in the 80s or the near future?

Even if you don't count "Mandroid" The Eliminators did feature a small flying robot. I don't remember if it actually had a name. Always reminded me of Widget from Marvel's Excalibur.
