In works centered around or containing robots, vehicles, Mechanical Lifeforms androids, machines, mecha, etc., creators add a human element to the artificially created beings to set the tone and so that the audience will have an easier time relating to the characters. Using oil, coolant, battery acid, hydraulic fluid or some type of unusually colored liquid as a stand-in for blood makes things look a lot more serious and visceral in action scenes. It also makes the audience more sympathetic if the "bleeding" robot is one of the protagonists or a tragic character. In some works, the fluid is red and visually-indistinguishable from actual blood. In others, it really is artificial blood and the mechanical life forms are Ridiculously Human Robots. This may be an android's Robotic Reveal, confirming it's not biologically human. In other cases it may not reveal anything - if it's not confirmed whether the Ambiguous Robots are bleeding or leaking, it only makes them more ambiguous. Sometimes used as a way to pass the censors in G and PG-rated works where real blood, especially excessive blood, is considered inappropriate for younger audiences. If the fluid looks too much like blood in a work that was originally from a foreign country, some regional localizations are likely to either change it to look like regular oil or just edit out the blood completely. What Measure Is a Non-Human? is at play as people are generally more comfortable with robots/machine character "bleeding" than human characters as long as their blood doesn't look human. See also Alien Blood, where aliens have weirdly colored blood and Symbolic Blood, where something else is used in place of blood either for comedy or for symbolism. |

Robots in Samurai Jack spray oil and electricity as if they were High-Pressure Blood. Word of God says this was done so they could include violent, high-octane action sequences in the style of old-school samurai movies but still be age-appropriate for a TV-Y7 show. They also used aliens and monsters who "bleed" slime or goo. | |

The androids in the Alien films "bleed" a milky fluid when injured. Since these are also Ridiculously Human Robots, it works as a Robotic Reveal in the first film, when one character bleeds white from a cut and spews it everywhere as they take damage and gets their head torn off. | |

Mega Man: Defender of the Human Race sometimes uses oil as an analogy for blood. One of the biggest instances is at the end of Episode 11 after Mega Man's severe damage from the Mad Grinder, with Dr. Light hooking up an oil feed tube in a manner akin to a blood transfusion and Proto Man looking at how his own hands and chest were stained as he carried Mega Man to safety. | |

In Neon Genesis Evangelion, the titular Humongous Mecha fight hand-to-hand with monsters strong enough to pierce their armor or even sever their limbs. When this happens, the Evangelions bleed - a lot. All of them bleed red, except for Unit 02, which bleeds purplish-blue. This is because an Evangelion is not a robot, but a genetically-engineered Cyborg Eldritch Abomination encased in Powered Armor. When they are not in operation, the Evangelions are stored not in a conventional hangar or drydock, but in a giant tank of water. This peaceful bath doesn't suggest violence the way blood does - instead it is reminiscent of amniotic fluid in a womb. It adds to the Evas' appearance as Ambiguous Robots. |

Dinotrux: The only two instances of a Dinotrux suffering an injury that causes them to "bleed" are "Sawmetradon" where the titular Splitter cuts open one of Ty's oil lines with his saws and "Downshift", where Dozer blows a gasket fighting D-Structs and leaks coolant. The former is treated more like blood as Revvit immediately calls for a retreat to repair the wound stressing that Ty could suffer engine failure if allowed to bleed out. | |

Metal Gear: In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the Metal Gear RAYs which Raiden fights near the end bleed a white fluid, which serves a similar role to blood in their self-repair systems. In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Raiden bleeds white artificial blood following his transformation into a Cyber Ninja by the Patriots. This leads to a lot of very suggestive imagery when Vamp drinks some of his blood. In the Japanese version of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance red blood and white "blood" are used to distinguish cyborgs/droids and unmodified humans. Jetstream Sam's boss fight ends with an Unrobotic Reveal, where the fact they bleed red is used to show that they have very few cyborg parts. In the international release, everyone has the same red blood. At least in regions where the red blood isn't censored. |

Warbreaker: A clear artificial fluid called ichor-alcohol is used as the "blood" of the Lifeless — magical constructs animated from corpses. Although it isn't magical itself, it vastly reduces the cost in Breath to create Lifeless and can maintain them almost indefinitely. As a means of efficiently mass-producing Lifeless, its discovery was a major factor in the start of the Manywar. | |

The Transformers: The Movie, despite the huge body count, mostly uses Bloodless Carnage like the TV series. The only exception is when a dying Megatron starts leaking a greenish fluid after his battle with Optimus Prime. (Unlike later generations, this was likely intended to be actual blood, not energon, which the G1 series normally depict as bright pink.) | |

Gundam: In The 08th MS Team, the battle between Norris and the Team has this when Norris stabs a Guntank, resulting in a massive spurt of oil being sprayed across his mobile suit. Riddhe's Delta Plus bleeds the same way in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, when the Banshee destroys it. |

In The Transformers (IDW), they get a lot of mileage out of having Transformers bleed energon when wounded, donate vials of "innermost energon" to sick loved ones or as offerings to the deceased, and so on. Since energon is a magenta-pink shade,note barring Transformers from Caminus, who bleed blue energon due to having lower-frequency sparks this also means that Arcee's pink coloring is supposed to paint her as a bloodthirsty maniac. | |

Nanobreaker had various robot/cyborg enemies, and a menu where you could decide what of wide range of colors of "blood" they would bleed as you viciously dispatch them with your shapeshifting sword. For great humor, select the "random" option, and turn your battlefield into a particularly colorful impressionistic painting! | |

Futurama: In the episode "The Silence of the Clamps", a farmbot who looks like Bender is mistakenly shot to death by Bender's Psycho Ex-Girlfriend. Instead of blood, the dying robot is bleeding oil from his mouth. In "The Honking", after Bender goes out all night as a Werecar, he wakes the next morning laying in a puddle with what looks like dark red blood that's splattered on his mouth. Bender identifies it as transmission fluid. |

In the Transformers movies, blood from the bots is represented in some cases by fluorescent blue liquid (which the fandom believes is Energon). This is especially prevalent in the third film, which depicts Autobots and Decepticons bleeding copious amounts of vibrantly colored fluids when they are being blasted and hacked apart. | |

In the Japanese version of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance red blood and white "blood" are used to distinguish cyborgs/droids and unmodified humans. Jetstream Sam's boss fight ends with an Unrobotic Reveal, where the fact they bleed red is used to show that they have very few cyborg parts. In the international release, everyone has the same red blood. At least in regions where the red blood isn't censored. | |

Energon in Transformers is not only the fuel source of the eponymous Mechanical Lifeforms, but is also often portrayed as their analogue to blood. Invoked in one issue of The Transformers (Marvel) when Jetfire discovers a puddle of leaked Transformer fuel and, after verifying that's what it is, calls it "the lifeblood of my people". In The Transformers (IDW), they get a lot of mileage out of having Transformers bleed energon when wounded, donate vials of "innermost energon" to sick loved ones or as offerings to the deceased, and so on.

In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Data and Lore the androids have a liquid in them to lubricate their mechanics, so if one was to "injure" one of them in the right place, this liquid will leak out, which has been likened to bleeding. In addition, if one was to put their hand on Data or Lore's wrist, they would feel the lubricant oozing through in a manner similar to feeling someone’s pulse. | |
