Top 10 Sentient Vehicles of All Time


long journeys never get lonely with
vehicles like these welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten sentient
vehicles in TV and film I’ve gotta run
it over the competition for this list
we’re taking a look at conscious planes
trains automobiles and even boats with
extreme personalities
I must confess one more dusty road it
would be just a road long
we’ve excluded transformers such as
Optimus Prime and Bumblebee because
while they might look like vehicles
they’re more than meets the eye you
already know your Guardian bumblebee yep
checking it done
we’ve also left off rubber because one
tire doesn’t exactly constitute a mode
of transportation number 10 the
gadgetmobile Inspector Gadget tada
the gadgetmobile wowzers it’s kind of
ironic that the gadgetmobile
in the 1999 live-action Inspector Gadget
movie would be even cartoony er than the
gadgetmobile in the original animated
series go go gadgetmobile good morning
riveted complete with police sirens
caged hydraulics paintballs and boxing
blood this wisecracking convertible has
pretty much everything a law enforcer
could need speed limits offer cost not
the gadgetmobile well except maybe some
guns but what do you expect it’s a
Disney movie as the car blatantly points
out
can you slow down please I get carsick
bad puns and fourth-wall jokes aside its
arsenal of inventive accessories will
still have you chanting go go
gadgetmobile don’t bump the getcha
‘mobile the cash will be amongst you
number 9
scoop Bob the Builder no work today then
no it’s too hot
if construction vehicles were ever to
unionize scoop the backhoe would
definitely have our vote for union
leader while Bob the Builder has no
shortage of reliable vehicle friends
like muck dizzy lofty and Roley – this
yellow digger is truly trailblazing for
being the first machine to join the
can-do crew oh yes yeah I’m still faster
than you all are doc am too fast
optimistic and always there to lend a
helping hand or a helping digging bucket
scoop never fails to get the job done

number 7 Benny the cab Who Framed Roger
Rabbit no it surely happened ah both a
car and a tomb Benny from Who Framed
Roger Rabbit brings new meaning to the
notion of a cartoon be careful with that
gun
this ain’t no cartoon y’know this is no
way to make a living although the cab
driver is taken out of the equation this
taxi exemplifies the same brand of foul
language grading small talk and
aggressive driving skills that you might
expect that’s better I can’t believe
they’d lock me up and driving on a
sidewalk you’ll definitely want to
buckle your seat belt after getting
behind Benny’s wheel whenever you need a
lift though just stick out your thumb
and he’ll be there even in the age of
uber that’s just too convenient to pass
up
number six Christine what is about that
car huh I don’t know maybe it’s just a
for the first time in my life I found
something that’s uglier than me if you
read enough of Stephen King’s novels and
watch enough of his film adaptations
you’ll find that he has a fascination
with killer cars they told us the man
who owned that car last died in it of
carbon monoxide poisoning nowhere is
this better represented than in
Christine where the titular character is
a 1958 Plymouth Fury draped in seductive
red and white it seems like nobody likes
my oddities to face Christine brings out
the worst in her owner Arnie showing him
how to go from nerd to rebel without a
cause and sometimes we’re making out
just stall
since the car was jealous this literal
monster cars hobbies might include
revenge and road rage but at least
you’ll never have to worry about
restoration car I swear it’s the car
number five the Magic School Bus
everyone please let this little field
trip in miss Frizzles class every day is
a field trip even though that means me
you relaxing
fix things action don’t you see these
imaginative adventures wouldn’t be
possible however if it weren’t for her
Magic School Bus
opening this motor vehicle has the
ability to take students anywhere from
the ocean through outer space to the
inside of a volcano to back in time and
even down Arnold’s throat sure it’s sort
of troubling that parental permission
slips are never issued meaning the
frizzes actions borderline on kidnapping
isn’t this exciting
nevertheless the children are guaranteed
a first-rate education with her behind
the magic school buses wheel Goodwin
Carlos
number four KITT Knight Rider
I am not qualified to overrule yo wishes
while David Hasselhoff got Top Billing
and Knight Rider we all know that the
knight industries 2000 or KITT was the
show’s real star I am the voice of
Knight industry 2000s microprocessor ki
TT for easy reference a KITT if you
prefer long before there was GPS there
was this artificially intelligent
supercar that seemed to have every
application imaginable turbo boost
capability a flame thrower fire rocket
booster
and the ultimate entertainment system
built into his dashboard all right might
as well put on some music
how is weird gadget think they give you
a radio hell he even had an evil twin of
sorts which went by the name of knight
automated roving robot or car went to
the cache computer and I’ll do the rest
throw in the voice of mr. Feeny I find
that most praiseworthy and kit is one
automobile will gladly pay sticker price
for I’m not so sure I’m gonna be around
at the end of this trip if it’s any
assurance your vital signs are still
quite good but you do need immediate
medical attention
number three Lightning McQueen the cars
franchise I’m a precision instrument
with speed and aerodynamics yeah yeah
well I’m a very famous racecar it’s
still unclear whether this Pixar Series
exists in a post-apocalyptic future
where cars have overthrown mankind or in
a parallel universe where automobiles
are the dominant species I know I get
that reaction a lot I create feelings
and others that they themselves don’t
understand in any case cars land is full
of diverse characters the most iconic
being Lightning McQueen whoa whoa easy
now mater you know you’re talking to
this is Lightning McQueen I can handle
anything a hotshot racecar Lightning
keeps his eye on the prize with no
regard for others okay here we go
focus speed I am speed after hitting a
roadblock in Radiator Springs though
will lightning learn the value of
friendship will your child want a
Lightning McQueen toy after seeing cars
the answer to both is a resounding yes
Lightning McQueen
number two Herbie the lovebug
the Herbie franchise of all the living
automobiles to come off Disney’s
assembly line Herbie is the one that
never appears to run out of gas
thanks hey what’s he doing debuting in
1968 this Volkswagen Beetle has appeared
in a handful of theatrical films a
made-for-tv reboot and even a
short-lived sitcom
although he’s never talked and rarely
had much facial expression Herbie is a
surprisingly charming screen presence
Skaar just winked at me a racecar just
winked it’s you I swear the car just
winked at me even more surprising
he can be quite fast on the racetrack
okay great I mean carjacked from a car
just as you should never judge a book by
its cover
never judge a car by its model either
all right this is gonna sound a little
strange but it wasn’t me I think it was
Herbie Herbie is a car before we hit the
road with our top pick here are some
honorable mentions
it’s actually pronounced dusty
crophopper
number one Thomas the Tank Engine Thomas
and Friends every story like a railroad
has its heroes meet Thomas he’s our
number one hero this blue locomotive
first appeared in a series of books by
Reverend Wilbert Audrey botheration
you went concentrating Thomas
but Thomas seems to be on a perennial
train track with his TV series defining
early childhood since the mid 80s
mr. conductor mr. conductor Thomas mr.
conductor where are you he can at times
be overly zealous to live up to that
number one on his side Thomas likes
whistling rudely at him wake up
lazybones why don’t you work hard like
me at the end of every day however
Thomas will prove that he’s the little
engine that could he went home very
slowly and was careful afterwards never
to be cheeky to Gordon again painted an
inviting blue color and almost always
wearing a cheerful smile he’s won train
that every kid should climb aboard
