Star Wars birthed arguably the most famous robots of recent times in R2 D2 and C-3PO. Arnold Schwarzenegger popularized brutish bots with his role as one of the main characters of the Terminator franchise.
Transformers cartoons added depth and new twists to the typical robot character through the animated series and high-grossing animated films. Astro Boy and later the Gundam Wing franchise made famous robots synonymous with anime.
