8	-> ''"These are the latest model in android-replication technology. Lethal, efficient, brutal. No man can resist their charm."''
9	-->-- '''Frau Farbissina''', ''[[Film/AustinPowers Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery]]''

11	In a story where sentient robots are commonplace, some of those robots are designed to look feminine. This tends to include RobotHair, sleeker, curvier bodies and bumps on the chest, as well as possible makeup-like patterns on the face. Other TertiarySexualCharacteristics may also be present, especially being colored [[PinkGirlBlueBoy pink]] or other pastel colors.
12
13	Differs from a RobotGirl in that a robot girl is basically a girl who happens to be a robot, while a Fembot is a robot who happens to be a girl. While robot girls always look human with the possible exceptions of antennae or metal joints, fembots are unmistakably robotic. Their body is protected by sheets of metal or plastic plating as opposed to the robot girl's synthetic skin. Where there should be hair is often replaced with a [[RobotHair hairdo shaped head casing]]. At times, should the fembot not be designed to wear human clothes, their torso would often sport [[ClothingAppendage components that would resemble feminine clothing such as hip mounted boosters that resembles a skirt]]. Their faces would often not be as articulate and human-like as a robot girl's even to the point that it's just a static mask. Other times it's completely inhuman such as cameras and [[TVHeadRobot televisions for heads]].
14
15	Fembots also encompasses the {{mecha}} genre as well as some mechs look like gigantic metal women. This is especially prevalent in the SuperRobotGenre as writers and designers are free to design mechas as out there as they can imagine due to the nature of the genre that they're working on. Feminine mechs have appeared in some RealRobotGenre stories before but it's quite a rarity. Often it's backed up by an in-universe scientific explanation as to why it was designed in that particular way to preserve the gritty realism the genre is known for. Sometimes it's explained away as just a mere coincidence that the mecha resembled a woman ''a la'' Pareidolia.
16
17	It may not make too much sense when robots in a given universe lack certain "functions" or if the robot is ''male while in construction''.
18
19	Fembots tend to be rarer in fiction, simply because it's easier to design a robotic character that doesn't look distinctly feminine than one that does. It's not enough to add TertiarySexualCharacteristics or a BreastPlate. The obvious question is "why", when robots don't reproduce sexually; but one can also say "Why not?" and further "why are [[MenAreGenericWomenAreSpecial genderless machines lumped in with males by default]] anyway?" When this trope applies to HumongousMecha instead of robot, they are almost always piloted by girls.
20
21	The [[TropeNamer name]] comes from 1976's ''Series/TheBionicWoman'', though the fembots in those were {{robot girl}}s. If you're interested, the technical term for these bots is "gynoid"; same root as "android", but "andro" means man (in the sense of a male human) while "gyno" means woman (obviously).
22
23	When a Fembot meets a male robot, RoboRomance might ensue. Compare SexBot when a robot is designed as a sexual toy. Not to be confused with [[OtokonokoGenre Femboy]], which most often refers to male [[{{Crossdresser}} Crossdressers]], especially AttractiveBentGender ones.

29
30	[[folder:Advertising]]
31	* A commercial for canned goods that aired during the Superbowl in the '80s featured a sleek, CGI-created female robot, animated by matching the movements of a female model in a reclining chair. Unsurprisingly, the commercial spot was called "Sexy Robot".
32	* The Svedka robot, Svedka's robot mascot in 2005. Had a human face on a white featureless head, exposed wires, and the more plating on the parts to make her look like a woman.
33	[[/folder]]
34
35	[[folder:Animation]]
36	* ''Animation/{{Mechamato}}'': One of the captured robots seen in episode 3 has a feminine design, being colored {{pink\|MeansFeminine}} and having a high voice, high-heel-shaped feet, and an hourglass figure.
37	[[/folder]]
38
39	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
40	* Aphrodite A, Diana A and Minerva X from ''Anime/MazingerZ'' and Venus A from ''Anime/GreatMazinger''.
41	** They even join forces in ''Manga/MazingerAngels''.
42	** [[Manga/GetterRobo Getter Q]] and other female robot mooks in ''Anime/ShinMazinger'' are also this. Go Nagai seems to love this trope
43	** Not to mention Wingle from ''Anime/MazinkaiserSKL''.
44	** The PSX game ''Getter Robo Daikessen!'' introduces Getter Zan, a Getter Q expy that comes complete with its own different forms.
45	* [=AnRyu, KouRyu and TenRyuJin=] from ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''.
46	** Also Piggy, the robot maid that serves all the GGG robots, and may or may not have flirted with Mic Sounders at some point.
47	** Piggy clearly had a thing for Volfogg, the final scene of ''Anime/GaoGaiGar Final'' has them holding hands.
48	* Drossel from ''Anime/FireBall'', a rare example of a fembot being the main character of a show.
49	* Neo Sweden's Nobel Gundam from ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' deserves mention here.
50	** For ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', we get the delicious GN Archer, endearingly called the GM's imouto.
51	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'' introduces the Gundam Aerial, who, interestingly enough, is also a [[EmpathicWeapon character in her own right as well.]]
52	* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': Though treated in story as a normal human girl, Chachamaru's first body was very obviously that of a robot, with visible joints, jetpack boots, mostly being emotionless (except involving doing stuff like helping kitties and her crush on [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Negi]]) and UnusualEars for good measure. Also breasts, long hair and [[FantasticArousal seemingly what amounts to sexual excitement]]. Apparently, nobody actually ''noticed'' the not-quite-human bits besides the resident MetaGirl. She upgraded into full RobotGirl status, though, even before becoming indistinguishable in appearance from a human.
53	* Go Okusaer, Neo Okusaer, Volspinner and Core Gunner of ''Anime/{{Godannar}}'' all take the form of giant busty robotic women, especially Volspinner, who's chest look like literal torpedos, and [[TorpedoTits they actually serve as laser canons]].
54	* ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'' gave us Thunderblast. Let's see... NonMammalMammaries, {{Underboobs}}, and in one scene in ep. 32, ''[[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:ThunderblastBoobsAndNipples01.jpg visible nipples]]''.
55	** Also Arcee in ''Anime/TransformersEnergon'' (as well as the in-show knock off of her model, used for medics and filling crowds), though not nearly so fan service-y
56	* ''Anime/StarDriver'''s Tauburn -- a rare example of a fembot piloted by a boy. It has a tiny waist, wide hips, heeled shoes, and a chest shaped like that of women's plate armour.
57	** However, WordOfGod says that warrior Cybodies (under which Tauburn falls) are -- technically speaking -- male. Actual fembots in this series would be the maiden Cybodies, with visible curvy chest and hips, long hair and a cockpit that's placed in their abdominal area (in contrast to warrior Cybodies, where the cockpits sit in their chests).
58	* In ''I, Female Robot'' the heroine Qiqi discovers [[spoiler:the robot Butler]] has developed a female human mind in what is meant to be a asexual robot. Originally, this robot has a non-humanoid design, with a rectangle head and box-like body that floats around. After an accident that irreparably harms the robot's body, her owner [[spoiler:transfers the memories and consciousness, not knowing the robot was self-aware mind you, into a ''male'' human robot]].
59	* The titular mecha in ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx'', despite being piloted by a male/female pair, universally have feminine traits such as breasts and dress-like armor. When both pilots are plugged in, the FRANXX's blank faceplate even morphs into a traditional anime girl face, through which the female pilot can speak and emote.
60	* ''Manga/EdensZero'' is a setting where androids are commonplace, many of whom are gendered female, but in a variety of ways. The ones on Granbell are rather blocky and more asexually designed due to being a century out-of-date while E.M. Pino is a tiny, fairy-like droid. Then there's Witch, the AI interface for the ship ''Edens Zero'' itself, who has a very humanoid but still clearly mechanical body designed in the style of a HotWitch.
61	[[/folder]]
62
63	[[folder:Arts]]
64	* The TropeCodifier is probably the artwork of Hajime Sorayama, who is famous for his pinup art of gynoids, all chrome but with curves in all the right places.
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Comic Books]]
68	* Morrigun is a female member of a warrior robot band called the ''ComicBook/ABCWarriors''. Her combat abilities are derived from secondary bouncer software; her primary function is ''[[SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids waitress]]''.
69	* In Creator/JossWhedon's run on ''[[ComicBook/XMen Astonishing X-Men]]'', he introduced a new villain called Danger, the AI from the Danger Room developing a murderous personality and building a female-looking robot body for itself.
70	** She underwent a HeelFaceTurn after Xavier, Rogue and Gambit saved her from being taken by Shi'ar bounty hunters, and is now working with X-Factor.
71	* Tiffany, one of the main characters in ''ComicBook/FallOutToyWorks''.
72	* Platinum (a.k.a. Tina) and, now, Copper, from Creator/DCComics' ComicBook/MetalMen.
73	* [[https://www.marvel.com/characters/jocasta Jocasta]], formerly of ComicBook/TheAvengers (about 100 iterations ago). Also her "sister" Alkhema, who is [[AIIsACrapshoot considerably more kill-crazy]].
74	* Ultron once assumed control of Tony Stark's Extremis-enhanced body and converted it into a metal copy of Janet Van Dyne. [[{{Fanservice}} Presumably because Frank Cho wanted an excuse to draw panels and panels of a naked Wasp.]]
75	* In the ComicBook/New52's ''ComicBook/Earth2'', ComicBook/RedTornado is a feminine robot rather than the masculine robot Tornado was pre-New 52. Pre-Flashpoint, the male Tornado was given a "sister", Red Torpedo.
76	* Robota, Planet Terry's companion in Marvel/Star Comics' ''ComicBook/PlanetTerry.''
77	* Irona the robot from ''ComicBook/RichieRich'' is definitely female, but also definitely a robot.
78	* ''ComicBook/TheVision2015'' series has him settling down with a synthezoid family, including a wife and daughter.
79	* The Super Skrull traveled with one of these during the Annihilation event.
80	* ''ComicBook/{{Chassis}}'': Tropic's robot chauffer Caddie is 'female'; being built with feminine curves and breasts, 'hair', more delicate facial features, and what appears to be painted on lipstick. Chassis' RobotBuddy SLIC is smitten with her.
81	* The villainess Mechanique from ''ComicBook/AllStarSquadron'', who was based on the robot Hel from ''Film/{{Metropolis}}''.
82	* The IDW ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' comics use a variety of designs for the female robots, some fitting this trope, some not, and some DependingOnTheArtist.
83	** Arcee looks like she usually does (shown above), only [[AxCrazy usually with more bloodstains]]. Her backstory started out as her having unwillingly been turned female by a MadScientist, sending her on a killing spree; subsequent {{Retcon}}s tweaked it so that Arcee had been UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} and a BloodKnight before that and had volunteered for the process, but the MadScientist in question had opted to leave her pain sensors cranked up during the procedure and didn't see a point to providing aftercare, leaving her with a major grudge.
84	** Windblade, whose design owes a lot to Japanese kabuki theatre, dives headlong into this trope. Her bodyguard Chromia doesn't draw from the same inspirations but is still fairly conventionally feminine.
85	** Nautica from ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' varies. She's shown as [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Windblade4-leavingCaminus.jpg fairly bulky]] in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersWindblade'', but MTMTE tends to [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Nautica-MTMTE42covercropped.jpg emphasise her femininity]]. Her friend Velocity [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Velocity-IDW.jpg doesn't go as far]], having a fairly broad build.
86	** Anode and Lug, both [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} Cybertronians who were assigned male and realised it didn't fit,]] have very different designs. Anode uses [[https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/thumb/a/aa/AnAxeToBreakTheIce-survivalpresent.jpg/800px-AnAxeToBreakTheIce-survivalpresent.jpg colour choices and kibble application]] to create a [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine feminine, midriff-baring]] look, explained as being deliberate modifications to match her preferred pronouns, while Lug didn't bother getting rebuilt in the same way, and as such [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:LugIDW.jpg appears to be made entirely from squares.]]
87	** Nickel of the Decepticon Justice Department is [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:MTMTE39_Nickel.jpg basically an angry square with legs.]]
88	* ''ComicBook/Transformers2019'': Zigzagged. On the one hand, there are Arcee, Windblade, and Nautica, who all look just as femm as they did in the previous series. On the other hand, there's Road Rage, who's robot mode is large and blocky, with only her waist and thighs looking slightly feminine (due to the fact that her character is a recolored version of Tracks, a male character).
89	* ''ComicBook/LexLuthorManOfSteel'': [[spoiler:Hope]] it turns out is one, who's so finely made [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot she looks just like a normal woman]].
90	[[/folder]]
91
92	[[folder:Fan Works]]
93	* Dyna in ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'' sits somewhere between here and RobotGirl. Her ''head'' resembles a beautiful (if [[EyeScream one-eyed]]) human girl, implying she originally had a very humanoid chassis. However, she ''currently'' occupies a SteamPunk SpiderTank that doubles as a [[SuperWheelchair life-support and mobility system]], since her original body was so badly destroyed that she was effectively just a head and a spinal column, and it's about as sexy-looking as a metal barrel with piston-powered spider-legs would look. Which is to say, it isn't.
94	[[/folder]]
95
96	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
97	* Gynoids are central to the plot of ''Anime/{{Ghost in the Shell\|1995}} 2: Innocence''.
98	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Robots}}'' has them all over the place. During the assembly of the main character, his father asks if they want a boy or girl. The mother answers boy, followed by a clang and crying.
99	[[/folder]]
100
101	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
102	* ''Film/AustinPowers'': Despite being called Fembots, the robot women are DeceptivelyHumanRobots, not mechanical humanoids with secondary sexual characteristics. At least they have machine-gun jubblies. Vanessa, Austin's partner in the first film, turns out to be one in the second (a "wedding gift" from Dr. Evil?). Machine-gun jubblies included. In the third, there is one modeled after Britney Spears.
103	* ''{{Film/Automata}}'': Cleo is evocative as a mix of [=ASIMO=] and the bot from Music/{{Bjork}}'s "All is Full of Love" as an awkwardly designed SexBot.
104	* ''Film/BicentennialMan'': Galatea is a standard [=NDR114=] robot that has been physically modified into a female appearance by Rupert Burns.
105	* A DiscussedTrope in ''Film/ExMachina''.
106	-->'''Caleb:''' Why did you give her sexuality? An AI doesn't need a gender. She could have been a gray box.\
107	'''Nathan:''' Actually, I don't think that's true. Can you give an example of consciousness, at any level, human or animal, that exists without a sexual dimension?\
108	'''Caleb:''' They have sexuality as an evolutionary reproductive need.\
109	'''Nathan:''' What imperative does a gray box have to interact with another gray box? Can consciousness exist without interaction? Anyway, [[SexIsGood sexuality is fun]], man. If you're gonna exist, why not enjoy it? ''[off Caleb's look]'' What? You want to remove the chance of her falling in love and fucking? And in answer to [[AllMenArePerverts your real question]], [[RoboSexual you bet she can fuck]].
110	* One of the earliest examples in film is Hel, from Creator/FritzLang's ''Film/{{Metropolis}}''. She/it is eventually disguised as the film's heroine, thus ''becoming'' a RobotGirl.
111	* ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'': Dot Matrix is a female {{expy}} of [=C3P0=] (from ''Franchise/StarWars'').
112	* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
113	** In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', the alien chef Dexter had a female [[InsistentTerminology droid]] waitress at his diner.
114	** Early designs for [=C3P0=] in ''Film/ANewHope'' were female, inspired by Hel from ''{{Film/Metropolis}}''.
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder:Literature]]
118	* OlderThanTelevision: The French novel ''La Femme Endormie'' (1899).
119	* Creator/IsaacAsimov's "Literature/FeminineIntuition": The JN series ([[InSeriesNickname Jane]]) of robots {{Invoked\|Trope}} the idea of a feminine robot in order to quell potential unrest against the idea of "robots without constraint", designed to be more creative than previous models. They experimented with narrower "hips" (but discarded it in the next iterations), used female pronouns, and created a contralto voice to [[DefiedTrope defy]] RoboSpeak. When the whole project is explained to [[IronLady Dr Calvin]], she begins rolling her eyes as hard as she can.
120	* In ''Literature/TheRobotsOfDawn'', Daneel mentions that some robots are called "she" on Aurora (where the custom is not to refer to robots as "it" due to social reasons). ''Literature/RobotsAndEmpire'' briefly features one such robot, "delicately designed to appear female".
121	* The robot population in Creator/FritzLeiber's "The Silver Eggheads" is divided into males and females because it turns out to be very beneficial to robotic mental health to be able to have sex -- robotic sex, which entails sharing power on the same circuit. They don't have to do this by an exacting emulation of human sex, but that's the way it works out culturally, possibly in a collective form of wanting to BecomeARealBoy.
122	* The Stalker Fang of ''Literature/MortalEngines'', while technically a cyborg, not a robot, is designed to look feminine, being sleeker and more elegant than other Stalkers.
123	* The [[{{Pun}} titular]] character in the obscure Creator/{{TSR}} sci-fi novel ''Warsprite,'' whom the main human protagonist still falls in love with.
124	* In the novel ''Code Of The Lifemaker'' sentient robots (the result of a damaged alien factory ship crashing on the moon Titan and attempting to fulfill its damaged programming imperatives) living in a medieval society actually come in 'male' and 'female' flavors, right down to the females becoming pregnant as a result of programming code exchange which they then upload into one of the many sprawling factory computers where the 'child' is assembled.
125	* Parodied with Gladys in the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novels ''Literature/GoingPostal'' and ''Literature/MakingMoney'', who is an ordinary {{Golem}} given a new name and a gingham dress in order to satisfy Miss Maccalariat's strong views on who should be allowed to clean the ladies' privy. The weird part is that once she become Gladys, other characters start treating her as female, and she starts thinking of herself as female. At one point, Moist, thinking about how ridiculous the whole thing is, compares her to the [[MenAreGenericWomenAreSpecial "male" golems]], and then has to remind himself that they ''aren't'' male, any more than Gladys is female.
126	[[/folder]]
127
128	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
129	* The androids (including of course the Anne-droid) in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' ep "Bad Wolf".
130	* Despite being called Fembots, the named robots from ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' are actually RidiculouslyHumanRobots that can even impersonate specific people well known to the person they are interacting with, and are not all female. One comes close to passing for Oscar Goldman to Steve Austin. It doesn't quite pull it off, but only because Steve notices the unusually deep footprints of the robot on the carpet in Oscar's office, and tests it by surreptitiously tossing a pencil underfoot and the robot crushes it to splinters.
131	* ''Series/{{Killjoys}}'': Romwell owns three he uses as his bodyguards in "I Love Lucy", one of which John has Lucy hack and take over. John calls them "gynoids".
132	* ''Series/PhilipKDicksElectricDreams'': Alice is an example in "[[Recap/PhilipKDicksElectricDreamsS1E8Autofac Autofac]]", with a human face and otherwise very mechanical body. [[spoiler:It turns out Emily and the other woman are more subtle versions of this.]]
133	[[/folder]]
134
135	[[folder:Manhua]]
136	* ''Manhua/MyBelovedMother'' is set in a future where robots are integrated into society, including the welfare department, who issues gynoid caretakers to human orphans so they're RaisedByRobots, whether they want it or not. The human protagonist, Sinbell, notably faces the struggle of having a gynoid as a mother while trying to hide the fact from his peers after a schoolmate of his is forced to dropped out due to being "[[FantasticRacism a freak raised by machines]]".
137	[[/folder]]
138
139
140	[[folder:Music]]
141	* The booklet for the Music/{{Aerosmith}} album ''Just Push Play'' re-purposes several Sorayama gynoid paintings, including one on the cover of a fembot doing a MarilynManeuver.
142	* The Music/CharliXCX song "Femmebot" uses the semantic field of fembots to describe falling in love.
143	[[/folder]]
144
145	[[folder:Music Videos]]
146	* Eminem's MusicVideo for "We Made You" has [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} a purple semi truck transform into one of these]], with [[BoobBasedGag certain parts accented]].
147	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OywujUvVDI0 The video]] for Sammy Hagar's "Hands and Knees" has Sammy, unable to jam with [[Music/VanHalen his band]] due to all of them being otherwise occupied, head into a studio and create a band of Fembots (some sporting visors, others sporting fiberoptic hair and all having silver skin) with a computer terminal. Unfortunately, they're not as flexible as human bandmates when it comes to sharing the stage...
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Pinballs]]
151	* ''Pinball/TheMachineBrideOfPinbot'' combines this trope with HumongousMecha. She returns in the sequel, ''Pinball/JackBot''.
152	** A small Fembot can be seen on the backglass and playfield of ''[[Pinball/{{Pinbot}} Pin*Bot]]'', but it's unclear if it was meant to be a different character.
153	* The titular character of ''Pinball/{{Xenon}}'' is suggested to be one, though only her head and shoulders are visible.
154	* The chrome fembot in ''Pinball/{{Viper}}'' is the most memorable aspect of the game.
155	[[/folder]]
156
157	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
158	* Warforged in ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'' are usually agender, but those who identify strongly with a female gender identity may modify themselves into fembots.
159	* The Nova ESR from ''TabletopGame/{{Monsterpocalypse}}''.
160	* In ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'', these appear in the selection of anthropomorphic drones.
161	** Shiawise I-Dolls are purchasable humanoid domestic servant robots that can be made as realistic or robotic as the customer desires.
162	** Saeder-Krupp Direktionssekretar (or "Executive Secretary") drones are similar to the I-Dolls, but a lot more advanced and more commonly marketed to the executive business sector as clerks, secretaries, and other office help. The drones can also serve as backup corp security if the need arises; the ''Rigger 5.0'' sourcebook notes that the drones' core vitals are armored, and that the drones are strong and fast enough to deliver fatal blows in unarmed combat.
163	[[/folder]]
164
165	[[folder:Toys]]
166	* Roodaka from ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' qualifies, possessing NonMammalMammaries and HartmanHips, as well as a number of TertiarySexualCharacteristics. Gali Mata also has shades of this, although it's much more subtle. Interestingly, all other female characters are aversions.
167	* Sun Shangxiang Gerbera from ''Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden''. She's a GenkiGirl and RebelliousPrincess in the provided comic, bonus point are that she's dressing up with a pair of {{Odango}}, and that female SD gundam is very rare. Gerbera is pretty much attractive for SuperDeformed macha lovers.
168	[[/folder]]
169
170	[[folder:Video Games]]
171	* The Twin Ballerina Robots from ''VideoGame/AtomicHeart'', the [[BestKnownForTheFanservice most-recognised thing about the game]], who have gorgeous curvy (albeit obviously synthetic) bodies and blank metal face plates.
172	* The Ninja type enemies from ''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers'', due to their [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure feminine]] [[HartmanHips proportions]] and [[SupermodelStrut animations]], made explicit with the Kunoichi variant, whose name translates to 'female ninja'.
173	* FATE of ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' adopts such a form for your boss fight with her.
174	* Shanoa from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' turns into one when using the [[PowerTattoo Arma Machina glyph]]. The only thing that visually distinguishes her from the automaton enemies in the game is her color pallette and [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics ribbon]].
175	* The Praetorian Clockwork androids in ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' come in both male and female varieties. So far [[RobotGirl IVy]] is the only one that can be considered qualify as sentient.
176	* The ''VideoGame/CustomRobo'' games have the aptly named Aerial Beauty and Sexy Stunner robo types.
177	* Juana in ''VideoGame/EarthboundBeginnings'', and her [[UndergroundMonkey sisters]], Nancy and Kelly.
178	* The Assaultrons from ''VideoGame/Fallout4''. Unlike other military robots in the Fallout universe, which look [[TinCanRobot very utilitarian and mechanical]], Assaultrons have humanoid body with very feminine looking curves and large... [[BreastPlate torso armor]]. Also, all three of the friendly Assaultrons in the game (KL-E-O and P.A.M in the core, Ada in the Automatron DLC) have explicitly female AI.
179	--> '''KL-E-O''': I'm a woman, baby. Can't you tell?
180	** Curie the Miss Nanny doc-bot follower from the same game zigzags it; she's got the voice (complete with [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench sexy French accent]]) and thinks of herself as female, but she's still got the basic Mr. Handy chassis, which essentially makes her a robotic sphere with eyestalks and articulated tentacles.
181	* In ''VideoGame/Ghost10'', Naka androids are designed to resemble human women. Ghost’s android chassis, being a heavily modified Naka, is no exception.
182	* Theola from ''VideoGame/InPursuitOfGreed'' is a RidiculouslyHumanRobots example, a robotic woman and the sole female bounty hunter among the playable characters.
183	* There's one in ''VideoGame/{{Jazzpunk}}'' that's a prostitute, delivering such priceless lines as "Only if you use encryption, sweetie!" As she has the same body shape as all the human characters in the game, namely a genderless restroom sign symbol, it might be unclear if she qualifies as this or a RobotGirl... were it not for the flashing red readout where her eyes should be and the [[ComputerEqualsTapeDrive prominent tape reels]] on [[BoobBasedGag her chest]].
184	* ARIA, from ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'' (2013) Season 2. Although in her case it is by choice rather than design (since he body is comprised of nanite cores it can take any form it wishes, her AI chooses it to be a feminine figure).
185	* Nova in ''VideoGame/LoveYouToBits'' is this, even managing to develop a [[{{Robosexual}} relation with a human, Kosmo.]]
186	* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', EDI, the AI system installed aboard the Normandy that was carried over from the previous game in the series, gains remote control over a Fembot platform built by Cerberus after encountering it as an enemy combatant and later neutralizing its on-board AI. Combined with her being unshackled[[note]]IE: released from artificial constraints on her thought processes[[/note]] in the previous game, she begins to evolve from being merely intelligent to feeling truly "alive".
187	* The ''VideoGame/{{Medabots}}'' series of video games, including its anime adaptation, features several feminine medabots from Sailor-Multi (who looks like a young girl wearing a SailorFuku) to Saintnurse/Neutranurse (who looks like a nurse).
188	* The service droids from ''VideoGame/MrRobot'' have a distinctly feminine shape.
189	* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'':
190	** Averted with Orisa, who is a [[OurCentaursAreDifferent centaur-looking omnic]] that lacks the TertiarySexualCharacteristics of a typical Fembot aside from a somewhat feminine face.
191	** This is played straight with Echo, however, who has a humanoid body with an ImpossibleHourglassFigure and long eyelashes on her very feminine holographic face.
192	* ''VideoGame/{{Paprium}}'' have gynoids as a recurring MechaMook enemy, with visible metallic breasts which they can [[TorpedoTits shoot lasers from]].
193	* Female [=CASTs=] in the ''VideoGame/PhantasyStar'' series have this as one of their possible body types in the games that allow for character customization.
194	* The ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' series offers many examples.
195	** The [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002 original game]] features the Gadgetron [=HelpDesk=] Girl, a classic Fembot (although you don't discover this until very late in the game, much to Ratchet's chagrin and Clank's delight), and Captain Qwark's trainer Helga Von Streissenbergen, who is [[BrawnHilda not the classic type]].
196	** ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankGoingCommando Going Commando]]'' features a Fembot as a minor character in charge of an abandoned Gadgetron store, who's essentially [[ApronMatron an older, portlier]] version of the [=HelpDesk=] girl from the previous game.
197	** ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal Up Your Arsenal]]'' gives us [[EvilDiva Courtney Gears]] of ''"[[VillainSong Death to Squishies]]"'' infamy, along with her backup dancers (who you can play as in multiplayer). Helga also returns with an expanded role.
198	** The ''Future'' trilogy dialed back on the Fembots somewhat, but ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime A Crack In Time]]'' does feature [[QuirkyMinibossSquad the Valkyries]] as recurring bosses; they have the same BrawnHilda build as Helga, but with wildly different voices (with one of them even having a gruff male voice).
199	* In ''VideoGame/{{Robopon}}'', several Robopon are this, such as Razor, Meddy, Betty, and Loopy.
200	* ''VideoGame/{{Scrapland}}'' gives us Betty, [[SmurfettePrinciple the only female robot in the whole game]].
201	* ''VideoGame/TheSims3'' allows this with the Into The Future and its Plumbots.
202	** [=SimBot=]s from ''Ambitions'' also have physical differences depending on what gender they activate as; females have metal hair and a narrower waist. Servos from ''VideoGame/TheSims2 Open for Business'' may or may not count as male and female Servos share a body mesh but females sport cosmetic TertiarySexualCharacteristics, such as lipstick and a pink bow on their antennae.
203	* One gets the feeling there was someone with a fetish working in Bioware, because around the same time as [=ME3=], the equally feminine looking robot with less of an excuse (being, apparently, the combat platform of another self evolving AI) called SCORPIO popped up in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic''. She's basically [=GLaDOS=] with a body.
204	** In the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion, you learn about the GEMINI droids; a comment made by SCORPIO and the immediately subsequent cutscene where you discover their name implies that they are either knockoff copies of SCORPIO or subordinate droids hijacked by Valkorion.
205	* WD-40 in ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestVTheNextMutation'' is basically a gynoid version of Arnoid the Annihilator from ''Space Quest III''. After Cliffy reprograms her to be the SCS Eureka's science officer, she still maintains a cold, aloof demeanor, but at least not aiming to kill Roger Wilco. Her surprise attack [[spoiler:on the pukoid mutants]] during the game's climax [[TorpedoTits drives this trope to hilarious extents.]]
206	* Genders not revealed, but at least these robots in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' look female enough that the resident AscendedFanboy Ryusei fall heels over it: [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars3 Valsione]] (this one also looks [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot ridiculously human]]), [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Angelg]], and the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Fairlions]]. Possibly also [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsReversal Fiona's Excellence Eternal]], just to differentiate it with [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsReversal Raul's Excellence Lightning]], so it's given a MUCH more fembot-ish appearance.
207	** Also, any of the above in an SRW game? Ryuusei's been there, drooling. Especially the French Dragon twins.
208	* The Gretel series in ''VideoGame/TimeSplitters.''
209	* ''VideoGame/{{ULTRAKILL}}'': Mindflayers appear to be feminine robots, but according to the Terminal Database, what appears to be their body is just a plastic humanoid shell that serves no purpose other than aesthetics, and the real machine sits on the shell's upper half. Mindflayers with masculine shells are mentioned, but they have yet to appear in-game.
210	* The Rosettas from ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'', the only female enemies in the game, they wear skin tight suits and even sport a NavelDeepNeckline.
211	* Miss Bloody Rachel from ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe 2'', who can also shapeshift to become a one-woman BossRush.
212	* ''VideoGame/VirtualOn'' gives us the Fei-Yen and Angelan series of mecha, modeled after MagicalGirl archetypes. (Fei-Yen is a MagicalGirlWarrior whose iterations frequently resemble a waitress of some sort, while Angelan looks like a WhiteMagicianGirl, but is probably more an homage to [[Manga/AhMyGoddess Belldandy]].)
213	** The third game, ''Virtual-On Force'', introduced the Guarayakha, which resembles something of a CuteWitch, but in a bizarre subversion, was actually the LightningBruiser boss mecha Jaguarandi in disguise. [[{{Squick}} GACK!]]
214	** The fourth, ''Virtual-On Marz'', brought us fem'd versions of a robot with a previously AmbiguousGender, the three [[TransformingMecha MYZR]] Delta units belonging to the [[QuirkyMiniBossSquad Three Rose Sisters]].
215	* Female Mechari from ''VideoGame/WildStar'', good '''god.''' Their creators, the Eldan, specifically designed them to be like this, though.
216	-->'''Reporter:''' So you're a Mechari! I didn't realize they made robots quite so... shapely.\
217	'''Agent Voxine:''' Rest assured, your reaction is perfectly normal. It merely confirms the effect of an appealing physique on those of diminished intelligence. Such as yourself.
218	* Several from ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}''. Two are playable (Vierge and Crescens).
219	* ''VideoGame/XMenNextDimension'' added a sleek, flying "Sentinel-Beta" to allow for more variety when compared to the male, large, grounded and slow Sentinel-Alpha. Apart from moves shared for plot reasons, they were quite different, averting DistaffCounterpart.
220	* In ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders'', plenty of [[AMechByAnyOtherName Orbital Frames]] like Nephitis and Ardjet look pretty feminine as is. This is especially jarring considering that most, if not all Orbital Frames have [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything literal cockpits]] regardless of their gender programming.
221	** Dolores is a rather peculiar case, as she straddles the line between Fembot and RobotGirl by combining the elements of both character archetypes.
222	[[/folder]]
223
224	[[folder:Web Animation]]
225	* ''WebAnimation/{{Damaged}}'' has Emily.
226	* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' Tex gains a robotic body after her death in the first season. [[spoiler:Season 6 reveals Tex is actually an AI, meaning she’s always been a fembot, though given Tex’s significantly reduced role in that season, it takes a backseat to the revelation that Church was the Alpha AI. It becomes a major plot point in season 10, where it’s revealed her discovering her identity as the Beta AI was the catalyst for the Freelancer Rebellion.]]
227	[[/folder]]
228
229	[[folder:Webcomics]]
230	* Lincoln, Persephone, and Hades from ''Webcomic/CogaSuro''.
231	* In ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' robots divide themselves into gender categories based on how much talking they do. None of them particularly look gendered, and the identified females are commonly bigger and stronger than their male peers.
232	* In ''Webcomic/HueAreYou'' A several of the bots are technically female such as all Build Bots, Build-a, and Query.
233	* ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'' has several female robot combinations:
234	** Gangrel (and Breya) are Cybee dolls with female owners; it's implied that Cybees are designed to mimic their owners, so the dolls may be technically genderless until paired up with an owner.
235	** Siege is either a ReplacementGoldfish or a BrainInAJar, but either way she still considers herself female.
236	** Peloton, who is very much an out-and-out fembot, complete with breastplate, eyelashes, and corset / gorget combo with TronLines.
237	* In ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' when Rudy wants to take Fiona to ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' premiere he has a dream parodying the original trilogy. There Kell plays a female version of [=C3P0=]. The author mentioned being inspired by ''Film/{{Metropolis}}''.
238	* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': While most female-shaped A.I. chassis in this setting tend toward RobotGirl, Bubbles is very clearly a Fembot, initially at least being very overtly robotic while still presenting and identifying as female. Her more mechanical features can be explained by the fact that she is a (former) combat A.I., and still wears a combat chassis ''and,'' when she first appears, significant amounts of body armor, unlike the companion models seen earlier; when she later abandons the armor for more civilian-style clothing, she looks like more of a RobotGirl.
239	* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'': Serious Franchise/{{Transformers}} fanboy Aaron ''imagines'' a nonexistent fembot model he'd like [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/Lady_Gagatron here.]] One can't blame a young geek for dreaming.
240	* Irene from ''Webcomic/ThePetriDish'' is a cyborg who is mostly robot and has lipstick, high heels, and later gives herself robotic breasts.
241	[[/folder]]
242
243	[[folder:Web Original]]
244	* In ''Literature/ThaliasMusings'', Thalia recalls [[UltimateBlacksmith Hephaestus]] constructing "solid gold, fully automated, mechanical assistants" that were built "in the form of very attractive women." He got rid of them once he had a girlfriend.
245	* The mechanical [[CuteMonsterGirl K-Girls]] from ''Webcomic/TwistedKaijuTheater'' fall into this category more than RobotGirl due to being [[RuleThirtyFour sexy parodies]] of various super-robots and mecha.
246	* In ''Literature/IlivaisX'', Ashe Gogus's mech, Ilivais B, is undeniably feminine, with energy cells housed in giant domes on the chest. Considering Ashe believes boobs are the most important thing in the universe, this is hardly surprising.
247	* [[http://pv02.tumblr.com pv02,]] a tumblr [[CharacterBlog ask blog]].
248	* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': Mechellies are a RobotBuddy product line that look like purple-haired girls.
249	[[/folder]]
250
251	[[folder:Western Animation]]
252	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' features fembots in quite a few episodes. Several of these have been LoveInterests for Bender. Justified, since in ''Futurama'', robots [[ArtisticLicenseBiology reproduce sexually]] when factories couldn't make enough.
253	** Bender himself, in one episode, becomes one of these to avoid getting caught cheating by dressing up in a muumuu and easily winning the FemBot Robolympics.
254	** They once crashed on [[LadyLand a planet]] ruled by a femputer who turned out to be a [[spoiler:humanoid fembot]] instead.
255	* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' also has female Transformers from time to time, who include {{Action Girl}}s (both regular and [[DarkActionGirl Dark]]), [[TheMedic medics]] and [[DamselInDistress damsels]].
256	** Especially notable names include Arcee (pictured above) and Blackarachnia.
257	** Strika is a fembot -- which are outnumbered about five hundred to one in Transformers -- that [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:BMStrika.jpg doesn't look even remotely female.]] Has a lovely voice, though.
258	*** Except in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', where she's clearly female- but still [[BrawnHilda nowhere near conventionally feminine]].
259	** The Marvel Comics Transformers series responds to a letter asking why there were no female Transformers with something to the effect of, "You assume that Transformers are male and female, and that any Transformer not explicitly female is implicitly male."
260	** The IDW Comics series initially opted to have the MadScientist Jhiaxus turn an Autobot female to see what happens if you throw gender into a genderless race. The victim, Arcee, talks about how people treat her now, and even use different pronouns, and... basically, not being one of the boys anymore. It becomes clear that Jhiaxus didn't introduce gender to a genderless race, but a ''woman'' to an ''all-male'' race - and of course, there is no good reason for non-sexually-reproducing robots to be male, either. Things wind up making [[VoodooShark much less sense]] than they would make if the question were simply ignored, as most series have. It was later retconned however that gender did exist on ancient Cybertron and it eventually died out, with Jhiaxus reintroducing gender (as well as other extinct aspects of ancient Cybertron such as CombiningMecha). Other female transformers that have started showing up since then have come from cybertronian [[LostColony lost colonies]] where gender didn't die out. Arcee, meanwhile, was retconned into being UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} all along and having asked Jhiaxus to change her (her hostility to him was retconned to him having decided after he was through to torture her ForTheEvulz).
261	** This is actually justified in the Generation One cartoon series, as the Transformers were built by the Quintessons as civilian (Autobots) and military (Decepticon) hardware for sale to other races. Although the Quintessons themselves are a OneGenderRace, they understand the concept of genders and built their robots to appeal to their clients. By the way, the page picture is Arcee.
262	** Strongarm from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'', although her only feminine features are her face and voice. Then there's Windblade, who's more feminine looking.
263	** ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' has Blackarachnia at one end of the scale (outfitted with, shall we say, a generously proportioned chestplate) and Airazor at the other (to the point where [[ShesAManInJapan the Japanese dub went with a male voice]]).
264	** ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' meanwhile introduced Botanica, a Cybertronian survivor of a separate exploratory mission from the original Maximals whose crew had had to scan mobile plant life to survive. Once the main cast successfully gets her to reformat and acclimate to the new Cybertron, she turns out to be a lovely looking fembot with plant accents, much to Rat Trap's eventual approval.
265	* Meanwhile, ''The Transformers's'' [[DuelingWorks rival series]] ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGobots'' subverts the trope twice over. Since the [=GoBots=] are actually cyborgs, they really ''do'' have gender, not just the appearance of it (though it's probably only on a neurological level, since they appear to be just brains in robot bodies). And, for the most part, female [=GoBots=] are ''not'' "noticeably curvier" than the males, having the same boxy-looking body styles as they do (well, Crasher sort of has a waistline).
266	* Bo and Boo formed the arms of the ''WesternAnimation/MightyOrbots''.
267	* Jenny Wakeman along with some of the other female robots that appeared on ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' have distinctly feminine bodies.
268	* Neosapiens in ''WesternAnimation/ExoSquad'' are not robots but close: asexual {{Artificial Human}}s created as slaves for normal humans. One'd think that making them in two (cosmetic) genders would be superfluous but it was done for [[FridgeHorror some reason]]...
269	** Note that it wasn't until the ''end'' of the series that giving Neosapiens the ability to sexually reproduce was even seriously discussed.
270	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', Jimmy constructs a robotic substitute mother (AKA Maternotron) while his own mom is away at the spa.
271	* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' has the Bebebots, a trio of feminine robots with a HiveMind (and... well, beehive hairdos). They were initially made to be dates, but were later redesigned to be [[KillerRobot weapons of revenge]].
272	* ''X-Men'' villain Master Mold was voiced by a woman in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009''. When Xavier encountered it in the end...Yup, [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelmovies/images/0/0e/Master_Mold_(Wolverine_and_the_X-Men)2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120307222534 gigantic metal titties.]]
273	* Big Brain from an episode of ''Franchise/CareBears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot'', the first female robot built by [[HarmlessVillain Grizzle]]. She was programmed to be the "smartest robot ever," and thus had a mecha-[[HotLibrarian librarian]] design.
274	* Silica from ''WesternAnimation/StarchaserTheLegendOfOrin''. At first she's a hardassed and snippy bureaucrat, à la Hermes' boss in ''Futurama'', but Han Solo expy Dag (really, just Solo with a darker skintone and more "Pimp") reprograms her by going up her ass (all her key circuits are there), slapping her circuit board open, reprogramming her personality center, and turning her into a sultry sexbot. Psychoanalyzing this scene is, [[BlackComedyRape all in all]], [[HarsherInHindsight a bad idea]].
275	* Four robotic replicas of Leslie Cohen appear in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' season one episode "Past Tense".
276	* On ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. 'The BD-3000 "Betty Droids" that serve in the Galactic Senate and Executive Buildings.
277	* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad!'':
278	** In an episode, Roger and Steve are attempting to write a porn movie script. Steve keeps adding robots.
279	--> '''Steve:''' When will people get that ROBOTS ARE EROTIC?
280	** In a later episode, Steve tries to build his own fembot with a vacuum cleaner and a bunch of cardboard tubes. Steve [[{{Squick}} was apparently sexually active with it.]] In an ImagineSpot later in that same episode, Stan imagines Steve in the future having iterated on his design to make it an actual robot.
281	* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb:''
282	** In the episode "Cranius Maximus", Baljeet has fembot [[SummonBackupDancers backup singers]] during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3RfOAk0r9M "Taking on the Big Brain"]] musical number.
283	** Later, in "Love at First Byte," Norm meets and falls in love with a fembot created by Dr. Doofenshmirtz's rival Rodney.
284	** The Nanny-Bot in "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbTheBaljeatles The Baljeatles]]".
285	* Clockwork Smurfette in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'', as the DistaffCounterpart to Clockwork Smurf.
286	* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueGodsAndMonsters'', Kobra built a giant robot named Giganta to combat Wonder Woman.
287	* The unnamed sex fembot from ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal FAKK 2''. Julie is less than pleased (more like disgusted) at her addition to the team and takes the first opportunity possible to off her.
288	* Aya in ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' is the AI navicomputer program from the experimental Green Lantern Energy-powered starship Interceptor. After taking a quite appealing feminine form, she falls in love, feels rejected, decides to eliminate all emotions from the galaxy, then all life from the universe starting at the beginning of time, then repents and apparently sacrifices herself when she realizes her love interest, the Volkregi reformed Red Lantern [[HumanoidAliens Razer]] still loves her.
289	* ''WesternAnimation/ToonMarty'' has Holly, a female robot and one of Marty's friends.
