2. Dick Cheney is a cyborg, not a robot or android.

3. Sorry, my bad.
I do recall, now, that Jon Stewart referred to him as "a murderous cyborg."

4. Whether or not Gort was a villain is arguable. I don't think it was. :)
But that's just me :)

7. Lucifer LOOKED menacing; acted like C3PO's "other piece of tin"...
Lore was too fun to be menacing...

My vote goes for the Black Hole 'droid... if not The Inqusitor from Red Dwarf. :D

11. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Daleks are cyborgs.

12. You forgot Twiki
of 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century'. I was scared to dead of Twiki when I was very young. It always said bili bili bili.

14. When I first saw him
I was probably 6 or 7 years old, and it really scared the hell out of me.

17. I guess I could see youngsters being scared of Twiki...
I guess I could see youngsters being scared of Twiki the same way youngsters were scared of Sam the Robot on Sesame Street.

19. Other--Twiki from Buck Rogers.
If you blinked, you would've missed this show which aired from 79-81.
