History Main / RoboticPsychopath

* Machinedramon from ''DigimonAdventure''. Despite his RoboticMonotone voice, he's a psychopathic monster who takes sadistic pleasure in destroying everything in his path.

* The Androids from ''DragonBall'' and ''DragonBallZ'' were intended by their creator(s) to be these, but [[AIIsACrapshoot almost all of them ended up turning]] ''[[HeelFaceTurn good]]'', the main exceptions being the ones in Future Trunks's timeline / dimension.

* Many drones in ''TheCulture'', particularly the ones that appear in ''TheCulture/ThePlayerOfGames'' and ''TheCulture/UseOfWeapons'', but even those who act like [[StarWars C3PO]] most of the time can be remorseless murderers. There's also a ship's Mind nicknamed "Meatfucker", whose hobby is MindRape (this gets him shunned by other Minds).

-->--'''HK-47''', KnightsOfTheOldRepublic II

* E-123 Omega in ''SonicTheHedgehog''. The Bioware-made ''Chronicles'' lampshades the similarity to HK-47.

A psychopath who is also a robot. Compare AIIsACrapShoot where the robot isn't intended to be evil. Expect a lot of CrushKillDestroy. If they happen to be a good guy (or at least working for the good guy) they'll probably be a HeroicSociopath.

* TheAvengers Arch-enemy Ultron.

* ''Tik-Tok'' (not [[ReturnToOz that one]] by John Sladek.

* Brainiac in ''{{Smallville}}'' combines this trope with (alphabetically) CompleteMonster, EvilGenius, GrandTheftMe, MisanthropeSupreme, and OmnicidalManiac. He was wired this way from the start by General Zod, who sought to use him as his [[TheDragon Dragon]]; after Zod's defeat, Brainiac goes rogue and creates his own agenda for TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. Metallo, in Season 9, is another example. Assembled by Major Zod (a younger clone of the General), his the machines he's slaved to continually inject him with adrenaline, sending his agression into overdrive; he's effectively KnightTemplarBigBrother meets this trope, with a nice dose of BodyHorror and HollywoodCyborg on the side.. Although [[spoiler: they both HeelFaceTurn]] it is due to being reprogrammed, not altruism on their own part.

He as wired this way from the start by General Zod, who sought to use him as his [[TheDragon Dragon]]; after Zod's defeat, Brainiac goes rogue and creates his own agenda for TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnow it.

* [[TheAvengers]] Arch-enemy Ultron.

* Cell from ''DragonballZ''.
** He's actually biological. The Androids would be a closer fit, [[AIIsACrapshoot except that almost all of them ended up turning]] ''[[HeelFaceTurn good]]'', the main exceptions being the ones in Future Trunks's timeline / dimension.

* HK-47 from ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic''.
* Possibly inspired by HK-47, PROXY, your RobotBuddy from TheForceUnleashed, is programmed to try to kill you again and again.
* Roberto from {{Futurama}}
** Bender also fits, although its more ComedicSociopathy compared to Roberto (who's genuinely unstable).
** Don't forget [[TheMafia Clamps]] and [[BadassSanta Robot Santa]].
* E-123 Omega in SonicTheHedgehog. The Bioware-made ''Chronicles'' lampshades the similarity to HK-47.
** To a more sinister extent, Metal Sonic, who was driven mad by constant losses.
* [[strike:Alpha 2]] [[InsistentTerminology Abomination the Second, son of the great protector of Lamar]] from TheNamelessMod

* Omega from MegaManZero personifies this trope almost as much as HK-47 does.
* Warmech in ''EightBitTheatre''.
* Zeke in ''CtrlAltDel'' started life in this trope and has mellowed to a degree. Embla, as a newly constructed robot, hasn't had enough experience of humans (specifically, human videogames) to do so.
** Well more specifically he started as a blank slate (though probably influenced by HK-47, given his creator is a gamer), then after some encounters with humans became this trope, ''then'' started to mellow out... somewhat.
* R-110 from ''Timesplitters: Future Perfect'' may not follow this trope from the start, but once he gets that virus at the start of the second level with him, he fully embraces the trope:
-->'''R-110''': What's the difference between a human, and a lump of rotting meat? About one week!
* Clandish "Cybomec" Consto in ''StationeryVoyagers'', partially subverted in that he was already a borderline-personality psychopath ''before'' he was mechanized.
* Many drones in TheCulture, particularly the ones that appear in ''TheCulture/ThePlayerOfGames'' and ''TheCulture/UseOfWeapons'', but even those who act like [[StarWars C3PO]] most of the time can be remorseless murderers. There's also a ship's Mind nicknamed "Meatfucker", whose hobby is MindRape (this gets him shunned by other Minds).
* Castle Heterodyne in GirlGenius.

* Chachazero from MahouSenseiNegima
* {{Gantz}} anyone?

** He's actually biological. The Androids would be a closer fit, [[AIIsACrapshoot except that almost all of them ended up turning]] ''[[HeelFaceTurn good]]''.
