Wired has just released a list of the 50 best robots of all time and done the diservice of listing Optimus Prime, the greatest robot hero of our time, at merely spot #34.
This is tragic.
Optimus Prime died for our sins1 and all we can do is rank him at meagre #34? In fact, Optimus is even outranked by the god damned Tin Man at #30)? That’s like discovering that children have an easier time recognizing Ronald MacDonald as a cultural icon instead of Jesus.
What the hell is wrong with you Wired?
And while we’re on the subject, where are Data or Marvin the Paranoid Android? They’re both fairly important robot lifeforms that—while still less important than Optimus—should still deserve a mention above the likes of the bloody Nintendo robot. Seriously, if the Autobot Matrix of Leadership doesn’t get someone into atleast your top ten list, you’ve got a problem.
1 Well, atleast he died for Hot Rod’s sin.
