History Main / RoboFamily

* The villains of ''ChourikiSentaiOhranger'' / ''PowerRangersZeo'' are an evil royal family of robots.
* Signalman, a robot space policeman from ''GekisouSentaiCarranger'', has a wife and son on his home planet. This ''wasn't'' carried over to his PR counterparts.

* In ''TalesOfHearts'', Chlorseraph and Clinoseraph, who have similar designs and were created for the same purpose, are referred to as brothers.

* Chii from ''{{Chobits}}'' has her sister [[spoiler:Freya]].

* In ''MahouSenseiNegima'', [[RobotGirl Chachamaru]] considers [[PerversePuppet Chachazero]] her older sister because both of them were created from Evangeline's magic. She also views all of the robots that her other creators (Chao and Hakase) made as her younger siblings. She also views her three creators as her parents.

* The ''VideoGame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable'' series has the Eltrian Gears, a.k.a, [[spoiler:Amitie and Kyrie Florian, who were created by an intelligient though bumbling scientist who overdid their personality chips and thus decided to raise them as his daughters]].

** In most versions, they're simply a small group of robots all built by the same guy, so they have formed a {{Nakama}}.

*** [[spoiler:And in ''TatsunokoVsCapcom'', Dr. Wily appears in Zero's ending, ''and he actually called Zero his son!'']]

* The {{20th Century Fox}} movie ''{{Robots}}'' has this, most notably with a main character who has a mom and dad.

* In ''PrincessResurrection'' each of the royal siblings have there own android who are also called siblings: Flandre, Francisca, Francette, Flanders and Franz - and probably several more.

** Similarly, a different episode involved Moshimo making a companion ("Robotgirl") for Robotboy. So Robotboy, Robotgirl and Protoboy are all siblings. Yeah.

* ''BigGuyAndRustyTheBoyRobot'' uses the "same creator" version, in that Rusty and the woman who built him have a mother/son relationship. When she explains to an older scientist that she based Rusty off his research, Rusty starts calling him "Grandpa".

* The [=~20th Century Fox~=] movie ''{{Robots}}'' has this, most notably with a main character who has a mom and dad.

* ''AstroBoy'': The UrExample, Astro has his sister Uran as well as his own robotic parents, not to mention his 'sibling' Atlas that was based off his blueprints/made by the same creator.

* ''Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot'' uses the "same creator" version, in that Rusty and the woman who built him have a mother/son relationship. When she explains to an older scientist that she based Rusty off his research, Rusty starts calling him "Grandpa".

* '''B.O.B.''' borrows his father's car for a date, but gets into an accident. When he finally arrives, he decides it's probably better to date someone else.

** ''TransformersAnimated'' had Jetfire and Jetstorm refer to each other as brothers.

* '''Robot family:''' In a series were robots are allowed to live amongst humans, many robots form their own real robot 'family', usually by having robot parents making or adopting their children. Sometimes the siblings will look like they're 'related' but sometimes they can be mismatched.

* The Mystara setting for DungeonsAndDragons had the Hephaestons, a race of literal iron giants. They reproduced by a male and a female literally forging a child, and then adding a bit of molten metal from each of their own bodies to grant it life.

*** [[spoiler:And in ''TatsunokoVsCapcom'', Dr. Wily appears in Zero's ending, ''and he actually called Zero his son!'']] While not a part of the official canon, [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready every Mega Man fan should know this by now.]]

* '''Same creator:''' All of the robots have the same creator, making them a 'father/mother' to all the robots and making them 'siblings'. Sometimes the creator actually treats their creations like children, although some can get a bit [[MadScientist carried away]]. Expect a [[YoureNotMyFather You're Not My Father/Mother]] if a robotic 'son/daughter' [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turns against their creator.]] This usually overlaps with the above example, since the same creator would make similar robots. A builder treating his creation as his child is a trope dating back at least to ''{{Pinnochio}}.''
