number 10 Lieutenant Commander data Star
Trek nemesis do you know who I am
you are me no my name is data he may
have been a machine but to the crew and
the fan base data was definitely more
human than not as was his daughter Lau
whose TV death was also heartbreaking I
Love You Father
on the big screen during the climax
between Picard and his twisted clone
shins on data arrives in the nick of
time and teleports his captain to safety
I do not understand
he then destroys the ship and himself
along with it sad as that may be it’s
hinted that data successfully uploaded
his memories into his older and less
advanced brother prior to his death so
he’s not gone forever number 9
k9 mark 3 Doctor Who events would not
withstand a direct hit from my laser my
faculties are failing right everyone on
the back dog okay no I stay with me this
particular episode of the enduring
sci-fi series saw the 10th iteration of
the Time Lord go undercover at a school
to expose a suspected plot fascinating
while on the case he’s reunited with his
former companion Sarah Jane Smith and
the ever faithful robot hound k9 sister
restocking functioning while fleeing the
bad guy krillitanes the brave machine
manages to ignite an alien oil that
sends the school and himself up in
flames sacrificing himself for the good
of his friends
McGee
not to worry though before parting with
sarah-jane again the doctor manages to
rebuild him as mark for good as new
come on you home of what to do
number eight Dinobot beast wars
transformers go ahead and pushed one
more inch if there was one transformer
you could never get a read on it was
this turncoat warrior just yet
Dinobots swapped sides so many times you
weren’t sure he could ever be trusted I
don’t need to explain myself to you
mouse if it’s right you don’t his one
defining feature was his deep-rooted
sense of honour this ended up costing
him his spark when he was forced to take
a one-man stand against all of the
Predacons to protect the future of
mankind I am meloria connect the
back-pay chime in the end he died a hero
by using his warrior skills and
resourcefulness to win the day despite
the great personal cost then there’s
nothing
ultra great come on you know his final
words make you tear up till my Delta
though so asked did it truly me it’ll
deeds along with the cut and let me be
touched accordingly number 7 Andrew
Martin Bicentennial man hello Andrew
hello sir out of all the robots that
wish they could be human this is the one
that actually succeeded thank you
starting off as nothing more than a
servant Andrew Martin pursues the dream
of becoming an independent and sentient
being one merely wishes to be declared
free over the years he manages to become
more and more human until he reaches the
age of 200 and dies naturally of old age
with his human wife beside him well then
I’m human in pot which pot Andrew it’s a
death that’s both saddening and
heartwarming at the same time
I’m sorry he didn’t see it
maybe he didn’t need to shall we
continue number 6 Roy batty Bladerunner
I want more life it’s surprising that
the antagonist of a film could also have
the most emotional and saddest death
scene I’ve done questionable things also
extraordinary things as the leader of a
group of runaway replicas Roy batty does
everything he can to try to prolong his
short life only to fail at every turn
quite an experience to live in fear
isn’t it
that’s what it is to be a slave
after being hunted down and finally
caught by Harrison Ford
Roy’s life draws to a close but not
before he’s able to deliver a chilling
speech about how death claims everything
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t
believe
number five number five short circuit –
hey you here’s Johnny he just wanted to
be alive a naive and excitable robot
number five also known as Johnny five is
catapulted around New York in this
sequel and gets himself into all sorts
of trouble he’s allowed me to
demonstrate the bars in terrific alerts
that includes getting violently beaten
down by a group of nasty thieves
however Johnny saddest moment comes near
the end when he expends almost all of
his remaining energy to stop the bad
guys and save his friends what are you
doing give it to me good
Ben luckily Johnny’s defibrillated
before his battery-backed memory fails
completely oh my god
number Johnny Five are you completely
operational 100% in tech perfectly she
still won’t help the mental scarring
though such a headache
number Johnny Five you had me so worried
oh pardon me number four Wally
everyone falls in love with Wally almost
instantly oh wow Wally’s his innocent
nature and desire to protect his robotic
love interest Eve is a story you can get
invested in that’s what makes it all the
more mortifying
when this happens of course Pixar wasn’t
done tugging at our heartstrings just
yet after Eve managed to repair him
Wally seemingly lost his individuality
becoming nothing more than a mindless
drone ironically the exact same fate
Johnny v narrowly avoided we’re pretty
sure if he hadn’t come back from this
there would have been riots number three
Optimus Prime the Transformers the movie
five-four-three-two-one
no one was prepared for this one and
especially not a bunch of ten-year-old
boys I think it was a good choice after
taking on Megatron and a final gunfight
the valiant leader of the Autobots is
taken down
and for once he actually doesn’t make a
heroic comeback he would have waited an
eternity for this it’s over prime after
passing on the matrix of leadership
Optimus says a final farewell to his
comrades before rusting away do not
grieve soon I shall be one with the
matrix kudos to the writers for having
the guts to kill off the mascot of the
franchise
number two t800 terminator to judgement
day I need you close your boots and your
motorcycle it said it it’d be back
though judging by the scene that looked
doubtful hasta la vista baby
after saving Sara and John Connor from
the seemingly invincible t1000 the t800
decides to martyr itself so its
components cannot be used to create the
artificial intelligence system Skynet
it has to end here the last we see of
Arnie’s iconic character is a thumbs up
as it’s consumed by molten steel we
think Sarah Connor sums up its
sacrificed best because of a machine a
terminator can learn the value of human
life
maybe we can too
before our favorite mechanical companion
kicks the bucket here are a few
honorable mentions take care of yourself
do it
good afternoon gentlemen I am a Hal 9000
computer number one the iron giant no
other robot death managed to make us cry
quite like this one
after crash landing on earth this
massive sentient machine forgets his
past as a tool of death and destruction
and befriends a young boy who teaches
him the value of friendship and choice
no no that is a tree Rock tree get it in
the end he ultimately chooses humanity
over his programming and sacrifices
himself for his friend
no you are choose to admit it you still
get teary-eyed when you watch this
do you agree with our list what robot
death made you well up Oh God not bad
for it human with new videos published
