* Roll from ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man}}'' and Rock/Mega Man himself (who was originally a [[CaptainErsatz replacement]] made for an ''Anime/AstroBoy'' game [[WhatCouldHaveBeen that never happened]]). There's also Protoman/Blues, who combines it with AloofBigBrother.

* ''Film/SpyKids'': The villain's plan centers around an army of robots who look like the children of important people (and the two main characters). [[spoiler: At the end of the movie, after reprogramming them to diferentiate right from wrong, they go around the world helping people in need, while the robot duplicates of the main characters stay with [[HeelFaceTurn Floop]] and become part of his show]].

* In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'', [[spoiler: Shaun, the director of the Institute, built a synth child replica of his past self and wishing the Sole Survivor can give him a second chance to live in Commonwealth, and you can choose to adopt or abandon him in you choose to destroy the Institute. This slightly differs if you choose to side with the Institute instead, as Shaun would insist his parents to live with his synth self as a family.]]

* ''{{Series/IAmFrankie}}'' has Frankie, Andrew, Simone, Eliza and Beto. Beto is built like a young child, while the other four are built like teenagers.

** Wheelie, the young autobot they find fending for himself with a slingshot on Quintessa in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie''. In subsequent episodes of the cartoon he would be paired with Daniel to make a Cute Kid And Robot pair.
** ''TransformersBeastWars'' introduced the concept of "protoforms", which are apparently what passes for an infant phase among Transformers. They look like a mannequin made of flowing, silvery metal and become fully "grown" after getting the proper coding.
** [[spoiler: Sari Sumdac]] for the first two seasons of WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated is the [[spoiler: RobotGirl]] variant. Its harder to tell because those seasons the 'bot in question is in its alt-mode, [[spoiler: a human.]]

* Bobert in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', who attends Elmore Junior High along with all the human-like objects and [[FunnyAnimal animals]]. Why he does this and who made him [[MundaneFantastic is not explained or questioned.]]

* ''Manga/AstroBoy''. He's one of the ReplacementGoldfish examples, but he also has combat abilities. Astro has a younger sister as well.

* ''{{Wondermark}}'' has [[http://wondermark.com/617/ S.A.M.I.R, the Helpful Clockwork Boy,]] and [[http://wondermark.com/749/ Hubert,]] who becomes a "real boy". Though neither look particularly childlike, or human.

** Tinny Tim

* Robot Jones of ''WesternAnimation/WhateverHappenedToRobotJones'' He originally had a robot voice but [[TheOtherDarrin this was replaced]] with a boys voice later.

* ''Manga/AstroBoy''. He's one of the ReplacementGoldfish examples, but he also has combat abilities.

* Crybaby from ''ComicBook/FallOutToyWorks'' is a boy robot in a bear suit pulled straight out of the cover art for FallOutBoy's ''Folie a Deux''. They also don't call him "Crybaby" for nothing.

** Another villainous example happens in ''Series/ChoudenshiBioman'', where there's a robot copy of a boy from the Bio Star who was a friend of Peebo, made to lure the team into a trap.

* Tinny Tim on ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''

* ''JimmyNeutron'' has Brobot, created to be a younger brother rather than a son to his creator.
* Jenny of ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'', though as the name would imply she's a teenager rather than a young child. She also has "siblings"--earlier prototypes made by her "mother"--that are based on younger kids, however.
** There is also the fact that while Jenny is designed to look like a teenager, she is chronologically 5 years old -- a fact that forced her to transfer to kindergarten in one episode.
* ''Literature/{{Pinocchio}}'' is something of a fantasy variation in that he's a wooden puppet, not a robot, and was enchanted to be sentient rather than having AI.
* The title character of the cartoon ''WesternAnimation/RobotBoy''
** There's also Robotgirl and Protoboy.
* Wheelie, the young autobot they find fending for himself with a slingshot on Quintessa in ''TransformersTheMovie''. In subsequent episodes of the cartoon he would be paired with Daniel to make a Cute Kid And Robot pair.

* VideoGame/KOLM: Robbie, who's obviously childlike despite being a moving square. [[spoiler:Turns out he ''is'' a kid, just one who was put in a robot body.]]
