* In the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' universe, the common Mr. Handy utility robot is a floating sphere (kept aloft by very small rockets) with several arms, vaguely resembling an octopus. The sphere has three eyes on stalks to act as an expressive "face". As the series progressed, variations of the Mr. Handy were introduced, including the war-built Mr. Gutsy, the DistaffCounterpart Miss Nanny, and the farm-built Mr. Farmhand.
* 343 Guilty Spark and the rest of the Forerunner Monitors from the ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}'' series. The Sentinels would fit better under AttackDrone.

* ''WebComic/SchlockMercenary'' gives us Ennesby, who gets a full-blown disembodied head after being downloaded to his "maraca-node". Lots and lots of jokes follow about the lack of arms, legs, and other limbs. On the other side--complete with torsos, armor, and lots of heavy weapons--are the Tarbots.

* The little training remote from ''Franchise/StarWars'' may just be the TropeCodifier, along with the interrogation droid, Darth Maul's scout/probe droids, and quite a few others in the films and the ExpandedUniverse. There's lots of overlap with SurveillanceDrone and AttackDrone here.

* The little training remote from ''Franchise/StarWars'' swarms with examples, many of which overlap with SurveillanceDrone and AttackDrone.
** The little training remote that Luke and later Rey use for lightsaber training
may just be the TropeCodifier, along with the TropeCodifier.
** The
interrogation droid, Darth Maul's droid from ''Film/StarWarsANewHope'' also qualifies, as do the scout/probe droids, droids Darth Maul uses in ''Film/StarWarsThePhantomMenace'', and quite a few others in the films and the ExpandedUniverse. There's lots of overlap with SurveillanceDrone and AttackDrone here.


Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts:'' Zack Varmitech's robots are good examples, particularly the smaller versions.
* In ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'', Jack Spicer's robot minions, which he calls "Jackbots", are also good examples.
