rec me vids about robots!

So I'm hopefully going to be putting a vidshow together for Vidukon about ROBOTS. Is anyone able to rec me some vids on that subject? I am pretty covered for Battlestar Galactica, Sarah Connor Chronicles, and vids by [personal profile] charmax. I would love it if anyone knew of downloadable vids for older sources like Blade Runner, Star Trek TNG or Voyager, or the original Stars Wars films. Also bonus points for non-Western sources and AMVs.

Robots, androids, cyborgs and all other mechanical individuals are welcome!

This might fall too close to BSG but thuviaptarth: [Caprica] VID: Light of Day

Also Janelle Monae vid accompanying her Yuletide treat: http://yhlee.dreamwidth.org/107597.html

And there have to be a thousand AMVs with robots but here's the first one I can think of: Urban Ragnarok for Metropolis: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=19612

Ditto Iron Man:

Festivids! - Gift vid for Isis (Iron Man - 2008)

arefadedaway: Vid: Cuz I Can (Iron Man)

Annotations of an Anomaly - Let It Rock - Sweet Charity Iron Man Video

GI Joe: curled around these images - And now for some completely different... (New Vid!)

Merlin Bladerunner fusion: newkidfan - Vid + Art: "Blade Runner" (Merlin)

Bionic Woman: Here Lies Dualbunny: She Took Cat Pictures. A Lot. - I Want What I Want - (Bionic Woman - Jaime/Sarah) - VVC Bechdel Test Vidshow

And I know there are some awesome Matrix vids which I can't find right now. . .ETA: I was thinking of Mr. Anderson's vids: http://www.youtube.com/user/MisterAnderson71

ETA again: Oh and most of these are quite violent. Mmm and there's character death. And Tony Stark being Tony Stark, etc.

Turns out the first AMV posted on this curated show list is about robots! Also chagrined suggested some possible anime fandoms of the mech variety (there's more info on mecha fandoms on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecha). You could probably look up the highly recced AMVs on animemusicvideos.org or check the ones that have won awards from those fandoms. I looked at the rec lists I have bookmarked and Starlady had this Neon Genesis Evangelion rec on this list (haven't watched it yet).
