Has anyone here seen the movie Short Circuit? If you haven't, I suggest you do. It's a good movie.

It's about a military robot (Number 5) who is struck my lightning and malfunctions. He develops a personality and believes he is alive. The military tries to hunt him down, and awesomeness ensues.

Here's a photo of him.

There's also a sequel, which is one of few sequels to be as good as the original. I suggest you rent them.
