The character is an artificially intelligent robot. This kind of character is often small (anywhere between one and three feet tall), cute looking and has a million and one functions; if you need him to do a job, he has the right tool installed for it. Up to and including jet packs. Can sometimes be the science fiction equivalent of a Familiar. Typically, robot buddies are very loyal to their owners, requesting only proper maintenance like recharges and repairs. The trend in recent years is to make the Robot Buddy an obnoxious, cynical Deadpan Snarker, commenting on human foibles (or just those of the protagonist). A bonus is that they can do a Heroic Sacrifice and still come back believably because Mr. Fixit can put him back together in the maintenance shop and upgrade him as a reward to be even better than before. The logical opposite to A.I. Is a Crapshoot (except when it isn't). Compare Robot Girl, Do-Anything Robot, Virtual Sidekick and Companion Cube. May also be an Amusing Alien. Not to be confused with the Nintendo Entertainment System peripheral the Robotic Operating Buddy. See also Robot Dog, the dog-shaped subtrope. Often overlaps with Funny Robot. May be the Kid-Appeal Character, and may also overlap with Gratuitous Animal Sidekick when the robot is animal-like. Team Pet is the animal equivalent to this, and Tagalong Kid is the human equivalent. |

Mechazawa from Cromartie High School. Although it seems almost no one in the school realizes he's a robot, or they just decide never to mention it. As far as most of the cast is concerned, he's just a normal delinquent with a really hard body. He may be more of a case of a robot with human buddies, as he's looked up to by the whole school. Looks like an oil drum with skinny robot limbs and eyes attached. | |

Twiki from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. He may not have any internal tools installed, but any droid who can operate a fighter craft designed for humans and do it well in combat is not to be underestimated. Another of his roles (in obvious reference to R2-D2) is as an electronic lockpick, which nobody but Buck ever seems to expect an ambuquad to be able to do. Dr. Theopolis is almost a subversion, since as a member of the Computer Council that governs Earth, he's actually the highest ranking member of the cast. None the less, in practice, he seems to mostly just like riding around on Twiki's chest helping his human buddies save the day. The second season added insufferable genius robot Kryten, who counts as an early example of the snarky, sarcastic robot archetype. |

The third movie gives an almost darker version of this trope, with Soundwave and Laserbeak being "clients" to the human Dylan. However, it's more of a mutual respect than an actual friendship, as back story reveals that Soundwave respects Dylan because the human has an almost similar personality to his true master, Megatron. | |

Although he eventually becomes a good companion of the main character, at the beginning of the story he is pretty unfriendly ("You humans look all the same"), and is a victim of ordinary racism on the part of the starship crew.

With his constant floating, mono-eye, cylindrical body, and wire for arms, he kinda looks like a tiny Type I Gadget Drone. Is so far shown to have picture-taking and spying capabilities. Kyrie from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection is Childhood Friends with an A.I. named Iris. This later turns out to be a subversion. Iris isn't actually an A.I., and she never considered herself to be Kyrie's friend. |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978): A robot, according to the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, is "your plastic pal who's fun to be with." The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, and their marketing division especially, are held by everyone else to be "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes". Marvin was intended to be one, but his flawed personality means he'll just mope and complain. | |

Joey from Beneath a Steel Sky is the main character's robot buddy. He's also a bit of a Snarky Nonhuman Sidekick in that he enjoys the company of humans, but frequently mocks their frailties and thoughtlessness. He is also rather versatile, able to be transferred to a different robotic body when his circuit board is placed into it. | |

Dog (also written as 'D0G') from Half-Life 2, a giant, gorilla-shaped robot who throws vans around, beats the snot out of Striders, and communicates via beeps and other robotic noises. Dialogue explains that he was initially built by Eli as a 4-foot-high protector. Alyx had been upgrading him over time, up to what we see in-game. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 has Celestial Being using Haros to do technical work like battle repairs. Lockon has his own orange Haro and his Gundams are designed to interface with it. This one is arguably the most intelligent of the bunch as it frequently snarks at Lockon, calls Nena's Haro "nii-san"("Big Brother" in the dub) and mourns the first Lockon's death by constantly calling out to him for a while. In The Movie, it gets a blue companion since Gundam Zabanya is too complicated for just one Haro. Nena's purple Haro is as foulmouthed as Nena's brother and not only outright insults Lockon's Haro, it even knocks the latter away. Plus its extremely creepy when it starts talking Machine Monotone in Ribbons' voice. In the second season, Saji is usually accompanied by a red Haro. It even assists him in piloting the O-Raiser and at one point foils a hijack. |

The Transformers had a human buddy in Spike, as the robots were the stars of the show. However, some of the other shows play this straight. Transformers: Animated is somewhere in the middle: some of them act as Robot Buddies of Sari (mostly Bumblebee and Bulkhead), but they do plenty on their own, and there are quite a few episodes where she has little or no effect on the plot. And then it turns out Sari is half-robot herself. The Minicons were little Robot Buddies of other robots. |

The above description also works well for Div from Penny Arcade, especially, and disturbingly, as regards sex (why did Div need condoms??) but the list of his attributes must also include: alcoholic, misogynistic/homophobic, alcoholic again, and very, very verbally abusive.

Red Dwarf: Kryten is a cheerful, friendly, helpful domestic robot. Unfortunately he's just the teensiest bit neurotic, has a fixation with cleanliness that borders on obsessive-compulsive, and lives in constant fear of rejection. He's also not particularly good at anything except cooking and cleaning. And providing exposition. | |

The trope is played with very casually in Funny People. One of the posters of his own movies George Simms has in his house is called "My Best Friend is a Robot". No footage of the film-within-the-film is shown, nor is it ever mentioned in dialogue. We can glean from the poster that it also stars Owen Wilson, but there's no telling whether he or Simms played the robot. | |

MOAV in Maglam Lord was supposed to be an artificial weapon for killing immortal beings, like the protagonist, Killizerk the Bladelord. Thanks to their influence and the friendships MOAV strikes with the other members of the party and the town, however, he starts to develop a kind, gentle, friendly personality, and he becomes one of the nicest characters in the game. Still perfectly capable of kicking ass and destruction, however. | |

Farscape During the break between seasons three and four John Crichton is stranded aboard an elderly Leviathan. To keep himself company he adopts one of the ships' DRDs, names it "1812", paints it in the colors of the French flag and teaches it to beep the 1812 Overture. He takes 1812 with him when he returns to Moya and keeps it around for the rest of the series. This is shown back in the premiere. Trapped on a Leviathan with these Ragtag Bunch of Misfits who treat him with hostility or contempt, Crichton is told to choose his friends wisely. So Crichton repairs a DRD who had its eyestalk damaged during the events of the episode. |

The Sims have Servos. The first game Servos are simply buyable objects that cost a whooping 15,000 simoleons, however, once activated, it will do any of the chores; from cooking, repairing, gardening, cleaning to interacting with other sims. It's also a downplayed example as they are not player characters yet. The second game Servos can be built with a robot workshop with a gold badge in robotics, and become playable if activated, inheriting the traits of the one who activated them, and can be either male or female of their choosing. As a playable sim, they have 10 levels of Cooking and Cleaning, is counted as a household, will do chores autonomously, and you can build relationships with them. Unlike the Servos from the first game, these Servos are not waterproof (though they can go outside the rain with no problem). Servos don't exist yet in the third game, but the SimBot fulfills the same function as a playable sims and comes in two versions, the bought SimBot and the created SimBot; the former has a rusted appearance and a limited lifespan, but is instantly best friends with a target sim, while the latter has a neater and shiny appearance and has an infinite lifespan, though their relationship with the creator start out average. The fourth game Servos receive a redesign to be realistic, but still fulfills the same role like the previous Servos. They can be given enhancements that gives them bonus benefits, and at Level 4, can toggle behavioral modules that suit their role. The danger is that unlike PlumBots, Servos can short circuit through water. |

Doraemon has a ton, besides the titular character: The titular character is the Trope Codifier in Japan. He is a cat-like robot created in the future and is sent back in time by Sewashi to help the main character Nobita. The more recent adaptation of Doraemon: Nobita and the Steel Troops has has Chippo, brain unit of Zanda Claus who assumes a part-mechanical, part avian form looking like a cute baby chick, and a Ridiculously Cute Critter once he gets to bond with Nobita and gang. Doraemon: Nobita's Dorabian Nights have a wisecracking robotic genie named Mikujin as one of their new allies, hired by Doraemon as a tour guide for them to enter the world of Arabian Nights. He's a bumbling Funny Robot who provides most of the film's comic relief. Doraemon: Nobita's Drifts in the Universe have Doraemon and gang befriending a bunch of Space Cadets, whose member includes Log the roly-poly robot resembling a mechanical soccer ball with googly eyes. Log and Doraemon even become close friends since they're both robots on their respective teams. Doraemon: Nobita and the Robot Kingdom introduces Dr. Chapek's sidekick, a mechanical kangaroo-rodent called Kirinpa. Who appears mechanical enough that his rodent features are obscured, since he didn't freak Doraemon out when around the gang. Doraemon: Nobita and The Space Heroes have a burger-shaped robot sidekick called the "Burger Director". Doraemon: Nobita's Treasure Island have Flock's sentient robot Pirate Parrot sidekick, Quiz. |

Borderlands franchise: The Claptraps, who in the first game give you reminders of new missions and are often seen dancing in the cities. In the "Robot Revolution" DLC, however, the Claptraps have Turned Against Their Masters and try to take over Pandora for themselves. By the time of the sequel, there's only one Claptrap left on Pandora, and the citizens of Sanctuary see him as a nuisance. He's still helpful in a number of missions because of his ability to interface with Hyperion technology. In Tales from the Borderlands, the main characters have a robot buddy who in turn has his own robot buddy. Initially Loader Bot is just a bodyguard for Rhys, while the Gortys robot is basically an adorable MacGuffin. By the end of the story, the friendship between the two becomes a major plot point. |

You Suck at Cooking: Pimblokto is a mostly offscreen robotic buddy that is in reality a pair of gopher grabbers. He "guest stars" in a few videos and tries to make food, but the fact that the grabbers can't grip onto things well usually means that he makes a mess by the end. In their first onscreen appearance together, the host makes it clear that Pimblokto is not meant to be cooking, and eventually ends up kicking him out of the house. | |

The X-Wing Series has more than a few pilots' astromechs that fit the bill. Corran Horn's droid Whistler offers electronic raspberries when he thinks Corran is being stupid, is packed full of useful programming from the duo's days on the Corellian Security Force, and will refuse to eject when going into a lethal situation. "Face" Loran took a cue from Return of the Jedi and outfitted his Vape with a beer ejector. Myn Donos's droid Shiner was the only other survivor from his original squadron, leading to Donos's Heroic BSoD when he's destroyed. And Lara Nostil's companion Tonin got to become King of the Droids and help take down a Super Star Destroyer. | |

Mass Effect 2: The game has Legion, who manages to be one of the game's two or three sane individuals (for a sufficiently loose definition of individual). It is something of a Warrior Poet who makes an effort to explain the culture and ethics of the geth, who were previously assumed to be Always Chaotic Evil, with partial success. It also features EDI, who, although not a robot, is an AI that eventually becomes the Normandy, giving EDI a true physical presence, allowing "her" to qualify for this trope. In Mass Effect 3, in fact she upgrades to Fembot. Seeing as she also is constantly in contact with the player, she feels just like this trope. |

Rebuild World: Both discussed and subverted. Akira's Virtual Sidekick Alpha teases him with the prospect of appearing in a humanoid body as part of his reward if he completes the mission she contracts him for. Akira mulls the possibility of buying an automaton body for Alpha to inhabit, to which she reacts with Let Us Never Speak of This Again. Alpha confirms in a conversation Akira overhears from her in a dream that she does have access to such bodies, but they aren't permitted into the area her request takes place in. The Mauve Shirt hunter Rodin recalls rumors of hunters having found automata in ruins and by pure luck had them register that hunter as the owner, proceeding to make their further explorations into a breeze, which prompts Rodin to fall for the Shmuck Bait of awakening Olivia who punches him through his chest. The Origin Story of Alice and Lawrence, the latter being The Patriarch of Reina's family, is a subversion: Lawrence was made a Puppet King to allow Alice legitimacy within the Corporate Government. |

Ultraman Cosmos: The prequel movie had Clevergon, who helps the young Musashi a bit throughout the film and then returns in the series proper a few times to help Musashi again. In two instances, he got turned giant-sized; first when Chaos Header corrupted him, and second when he gets hit by an enlarging beam to help Ultraman Cosmos fight some aliens. | |

Robot (real name Seraph Thirteen) in Gunnerkrigg Court. He's not had much of a good time since his first appearance; he gets possessed by a Glass Eyed Man, has his body destroyed by Eglamore, gets turned into paperclips while his CPU is in jail, gets stuck in a docking station and then a robot mouse, and goes all weird when his CPU is put into Seraph One. Later, he becomes a revolutionary and starts a robot religion, where Jeanne is a goddess and Kat is an angel. | |

Ultraman Decker features HANE2, nicknamed "Hanejiro" by the crew; a space exploration AI hurriedly repurposed for combat use as a fighter jet (and eventually Humongous Mecha) pilot after aliens invaded. He ends up being Kanata's Secret-Keeper and helps cover for his transformations into Ultraman. He's something of a Composite Character of Dyna's Lovemos and that series' version of Hanejiro (an alien creature who really was a cute mascot for Super GUTS). | |

The title characters in the Defenders of the Earth episode "Audie and Tweak" are a boy genius and the robot he built using organic circuits. Unlike silicon-based computers, Tweak is immune to the disruption caused by Tycos (a supposedly infallible supercomputer designed by Octon) but the fact that he has organic circuits means he cannot survive long if his power supply is drained, leading to an aversion of the robotic version of the Disney Death trope. | |

Kamen Rider: A number of series in the 2010s included very collectible little transforming robots, though they're less full characters and more intelligent gadgets: Predating the rest of the entries with robot helpers by a few years, Kamen Rider Hibiki had CDs that transformed into robot animals. Kamen Rider Double and Kamen Rider Ghost had various robot gadgets. Ghost's gadgets tend to be more archaic, like a little robot rotary phone instead of a modern cell phone. Kamen Rider OOO had robot soda cans. Kamen Rider Fourze has robot fast food powered by Astro Switches. Kamen Rider Wizard's little companions aren't actually robotic, being magically-animated model kits instead, but they fill the same niche. Kamen Rider Drive has Shift Cars. Unlike other Kamen Rider robots, they don't transform, but they can directly augment the hero's abilities in battle. The Drive Driver Transformation Trinket also counts, as it has a built-in AI (the Drive System's creator, who had uploaded his mind to it). Kamen Rider Zero-One, which has a major focus on robotics, has a humanoid example in the form of Aruto's Robot Girl assistant Is. |

Automatons in Final Fantasy XI, while indeed a puppet for the Puppetmaster class, seem to possess unique thoughts of their own, and in at least two cases, personalities! Cardians, which are the pride and joy of Windurst, are a lot less rigid compared to Automatons. One cutscene has a Cardian trying to look for an EXP party! | |

The robot arms in the movie version of Iron Man, funnily tagged by Tony Stark as "DUM-E" and "U". DUM-E's the one with a grip which saves Tony's life after his new arc reactor is removed, or in some infamous cases a fire extinguisher; while "U" is usually tasked documentation via a camera that the film sometimes switches to. "DUM-E" is remarkably clumsy. One wonders why Tony even bothers to keep using him at all, unless you pay attention during the magazine cover montage in the beginning of the film and see that he built that robot when he was in college, implying that it was the first major invention he made. At the end of the third film, we see him return to the wreckage of his home to retrieve "DUM-E". | |

The various Gundam titles have Haro. Its size and intelligence varies between continuities. There's the original green Haro which is the largest in the franchise. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED has Athrun making various Haros for his fiancé. Her favorite is a pink one. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 has Celestial Being using Haros to do technical work like battle repairs. Lockon has his own orange Haro and his Gundams are designed to interface with it. This one is arguably the most intelligent of the bunch as it frequently snarks at Lockon, calls Nena's Haro "nii-san"("Big Brother" in the dub) and mourns the first Lockon's death by constantly calling out to him for a while. In The Movie, it gets a blue companion since Gundam Zabanya is too complicated for just one Haro. Nena's purple Haro is as foulmouthed as Nena's brother and not only outright insults Lockon's Haro, it even knocks the latter away. Plus its extremely creepy when it starts talking Machine Monotone in Ribbons' voice. In the second season, Saji is usually accompanied by a red Haro. It even assists him in piloting the O-Raiser and at one point foils a hijack. |

Lexx: 790 is a disembodied robot head who is a Deadpan Snarker as well as a complete and utter Jerkass to anyone who isn't Xev (except later in the series, when he has his affections switched from Xev to Kai) - especially Stan, and on several occasions he comes across as completely psychotic. Such as when he blew up Earth. 100% knowingly and deliberately. | |

In Snatcher, we have Metal Gear Mk. II (named and modeled after the eponymous mecha Metal Gear), Gillian's walking Forensics Lab, and Robot Buddy. Unlike most examples of the trope, although loyal to Gillian, Metal does not hesitate to call Gillian out on some of his questionable behavior, and insult him semi-regularly. This little robot buddy was transplanted into Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. | |

Erek King from Animorphs is this to the main crew. Although there's some tension due to the fact that Erek is an Actual Pacifist (he's programmed that way) and they're in a war, usually he is able to help by being Mister Exposition or using his abilities in ways that don't involve direct combat. However, he and the kids have a falling out at the end of the series, because Jake blackmailed him into fighting. Conversely, the kids blame Erek for the death of Rachel, as Erek drained the Pool ship's weapons. Erek and the Animorphs never reconcile. Erek's entire species, the Chee, were created by the now-extinct Pemalites to be playmates. Their name means "friend" in the Chee language. |

After being on the team for a while like the typical Robot Buddy, until regaining her memories and true body.

The concept of a robot buddy was reversed for the whole concept of Bender from Futurama, who shows the exact opposite of everything that makes a Robot Buddy (while ironically still being a buddy). He did, however, perform a Heroic Sacrifice to the book.Except that it was All Just a Dream. Why they call him "Bender the Magnificent"! Where'd everybody go? When Morgan Proctor removes Bender's personality and puts it on a disk, Fry protests vehemently. |

Another series from the "Nagahama trilogy" Daimos gave us another robot buddy. It performed all kind of tasks in the Daimobic — including household chores — and it gave advice and council (often of the "Nobody asked you!" kind). | |

NieR: Automata: The YoRHa android units are assisted by Pod units. Their AIs are less sophisticated compared to the androids and their job is to provide more "mechanical" functions like providing tactical analysis and communications, ranged fire and slowing down descent, and to monitor and decommission all YoRHa units once the Project YoRHa is terminated. | |

Final Fantasy: Automatons in Final Fantasy XI, while indeed a puppet for the Puppetmaster class, seem to possess unique thoughts of their own, and in at least two cases, personalities! Cardians, which are the pride and joy of Windurst, are a lot less rigid compared to Automatons. One cutscene has a Cardian trying to look for an EXP party! Marcie from Final Fantasy Adventure. He could be used to restore MP when you use the Ask feature. His only weakness is that he cannot jump, which serves as his own demise. His Heroic Sacrifice is throwing you away from the crumbling Dime Tower to The Very Definitely Final Dungeon. |

Many characters in Questionable Content have "Anthro PCs" — Anthropromorphic Personal Computers; antisocial and psychotic little robots that don't like taking orders and engage every electrical appliance in sight sexually, sort of like persocoms with attitudes. However, this mainly applies to Pintsize; his personality is definitely an outlier and most of them are much friendlier/less perverted. It was revealed in a short series of strips to be a side-effect of his region settings. It got switched to British, and he spouted a top-hat and monocle, and started acting like a butler. His normal setting, with the psychosis and raunchiness is American. It was never fully explored how much was actual change, and how much was Pintsize screwing with people, though. And later in a flashback, it is revealed that when Martin was assigned Pintsize he was being interviewed by a giant, albeit friendly, spider robot. Martin happens to be terrified of spiders, so the results were skewed toward the weird and unsettling. Later, the strip introduces Winslow (a Mac/iPod Anthro PC) and Momo (a Sony Anthro PC), who are both quite friendly and make nice foils to Pintsize's hijinx, making his attitude possibly due to his model. There is also PT410x (a Linux Anthro PC), who is an arrogant dick constantly jabbering about how "Closed-source software is slavery" (he goes by his serial number rather than a "human-coined SLAVE NAME" for this reason), and crazy conspiracy theories. Then there's Bubbles, a former combat droid who wants to be liked, but hasn't got a lot of social skills; it wasn't a major part of her former job and her size tends to scare off most people she meets. |

Booster Gold's Robot Buddy, Skeets. He began as a service droid at the museum Booster worked at in the 25th century (until Booster stole him). Skeets is one of those closest to Booster, and if he's damaged in any way Booster tends to get very upset. The New 52 reboot changed Skeets to a headset. | |

Ultra Series: Ultraman Dyna: A one-off example is Lovemos from episode 32, a little space exploration robot specifically designed to be an appealing mascot for Super GUTS. Unfortunately, he gets possessed by an alien spirit that turns him evil and he merges himself with Super GUTS' vehicles to turn into the giant Satan Lovemos. Ultraman Cosmos: The prequel movie had Clevergon, who helps the young Musashi a bit throughout the film and then returns in the series proper a few times to help Musashi again. In two instances, he got turned giant-sized; first when Chaos Header corrupted him, and second when he gets hit by an enlarging beam to help Ultraman Cosmos fight some aliens. Ultraman Max had Coco, who mostly served as a mascot for DASH, but also helped Elly with the collection, management, and processing of data related to the Monsters of the Week. Partel from Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga is a villainous example as she serves Big Bad Dr. Psychi. In Ultraman R/B, the villains were assisted by a drone called D.R.L.N. (pronounced "Darling"). Ultraman Decker features HANE2, nicknamed "Hanejiro" by the crew; a space exploration AI hurriedly repurposed for combat use as a fighter jet (and eventually Humongous Mecha) pilot after aliens invaded. He ends up being Kanata's Secret-Keeper and helps cover for his transformations into Ultraman. He's something of a Composite Character of Dyna's Lovemos and that series' version of Hanejiro (an alien creature who really was a cute mascot for Super GUTS). |

Transformers Film Series: Bumblebee takes this role on occasion. He gives the impression of actively trying to invoke the trope; Sam accuses him of faking muteness at one point to try and be endearing. The third movie gives an almost darker version of this trope, with Soundwave and Laserbeak being "clients" to the human Dylan. However, it's more of a mutual respect than an actual friendship, as back story reveals that Soundwave respects Dylan because the human has an almost similar personality to his true master, Megatron. |

L3-37 in Solo is friends with Lando, but has a confrontational attitude and regularly asserts that she's her own person. Given her protests for droid rights, she'd probably be offended by this trope and how "buddy" robots are usually secondary to the humans. | |

Several Super Sentai and Power Rangers seasons have featured these: IC in Denshi Sentai Denziman. Peebo in Choudenshi Bioman. Mag in Choushinsei Flashman. Colon in Choujuu Sentai Liveman. Arthur G6 in Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman. Alpha 5 in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and Power Rangers Zeo; and his Suspiciously Similar Substitute Alpha 6 in Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. TAC in Mirai Sentai Timeranger/Circuit in Power Rangers Time Force, a robotic owl. Murphy in Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger/RIC in Power Rangers S.P.D., a Robot Dog. Bomper in Engine Sentai Go-onger, as well as the Engines. The latter were adapted to Power Rangers RPM but are nonsentient mecha instead. DaiGoyo in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, a robot paper lantern (it's present in Power Rangers Samurai as the Light Zord, but as a mere piece of equipment and not a buddy). Datas in Tensou Sentai Goseiger, a robot arcade machine. Navi in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, a robot parrot. Power Rangers Megaforce, adapting both Goseiger and Gokaiger, edited out both Datas and Navi in favor of its own buddy named Tensou. Tokumei Sentai Go Busters and Power Rangers Beast Morphers deserve special mention, as instead of just one buddy for the team, each hero has their own robot partner: Red has Cheeda Nick/Cruise, Blue has Gorisaki Banana/Smash, and Yellow has Usada Lettuce/Jax. Beet Buster/the Gold Ranger's partner, Beet J Stag/Steel, can even transform and fight alongside the others as Stag Buster/the Silver Ranger. Redbot in Power Rangers Ninja Steel. Jim Carter and Good Striker in Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger. Jim Carter is part of the Patrangers' Mission Control, while Good Striker is a sentient mecha that alternates between both teams and helps them in combat. Tyramigo in Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, a robot Tyrannosaurus rex. He's normally the team's main Humongous Mecha, but sometimes likes to shrink to human size and hang out with them. |

KVN in Final Space is a "Deep Space Insanity Avoidance Companion" assigned to Gary Goodspeed when he was imprisoned in space for five years, but his gratingly cheerful attitude, obnoxious personality and continuous insistence that he's Gary's best friend have only served to make Gary hate him with the fire of a thousand suns, to the point of cheering when he dies (and expressing frustration and disappointment when he's revived). He's contrasted with a more straight example in shipboard AI H.U.E., who as of the second season is inhabiting a robot body. | |

Doctor Who: The show's most prominent example is robot dog K-9, who the Doctor later passed on to companion Sarah Jane Smith. In the old series, there was also Kamelion, who was a humanoid robot who, like his name suggests, could impersonate people. Unfortunately, this wasn't used to its full potential because the man who designed the prop (and thus, knew how it worked) died before he could pass the instructions on to anyone else. Thus, he was Put on a Bus every episode up until the one where he was killed off. Gadget in "The Waters of Mars". Handles, a fully robotic Cyberman head, who the Doctor initially used as a PDA, but became his best friend during the Siege of Trenzalore, to the point that the Doctor cried when he eventually lost power for good. |

The sequel introduces Tama and Marco, the bionic eye partners of Ryuki and the Masked Woman respectively. Both have the same abilities as Aiba, but different personalities and physical/humanoid forms. Tama is very stern towards but also extremely loyal to Ryuki, while Marco is shy to the point of not having any voiced dialogue, letting Bibi do all the talking. | |

"Robbie": Robbie is a machine that was made to be a nursemaid, and he has been with Gloria for years by the start of the story. Gloria's mother takes the fact that Gloria prefers spending time with Robbie over other humans as evidence that Robbie is detrimental to her child. Even years after their separation, the two run into each other's arms when they meet again. Robbie technically does it because otherwise Gloria would've died, but the narration still indicates that he's happy to be reunited with his her. | |

Cube, a small robot who looks like a baseball with glasses and a cap who's the resident Robot Buddy of the spaceship Cogita Ergo Sum. However, rather than being a sidekick he's the protagonist of his section of the game as his story is all about him working to save his crew from what is effectively a Xenomorph and later the hostile ship AI. |

The Tachikomas in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex are the sweetest, nicest little things you've ever seen, replete with childish voice and cute bubbly appearance. They are also armed with machine guns and grenade launchers (with an optional minigun attachment), and won't bat an eyelid (well, so to speak) at the concept of slaughtering entire platoons of bad guys. And yes, they do eventually perform a Heroic Sacrifice (twice). They also have no concept of work, so apparently killing bad guys is their hobby. The friendliness, however, is subverted in one episode, showing that they're oblivious to anything being wrong with throwing a dog. Ghost in the Shell: Arise has Logicomas to fill a similar role, complete with squeaky voices and Innocently Insensitive questions. |

Marvin the Paranoid Android from all incarnations of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, who hates his owners, his creators, himself, and the whole of existence, and never stops telling this to anyone who will listen. (Presumably the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation was referring to a different sort of robot when it advertised "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun To Be With!") On at least two occasions Marvin was able to stop the opposing forces by linking into their computer system, making it depressed or even suicidal. Eddie would be a better fit for this trope except for the fact that he's an immobile computer. | |

Star Wars Legends: Han and Chewie got buddies Bollux and Blue Max in Brian Daley's The Han Solo Adventures. Lando got a starfish-shaped robot buddy named Vuffi Raa in L. Neil Smith's The Lando Calrissian Adventures. Vuffi turned out to be a member of an extra-galactic droid race called the Silentium. The X-Wing Series has more than a few pilots' astromechs that fit the bill. Corran Horn's droid Whistler offers electronic raspberries when he thinks Corran is being stupid, is packed full of useful programming from the duo's days on the Corellian Security Force, and will refuse to eject when going into a lethal situation. "Face" Loran took a cue from Return of the Jedi and outfitted his Vape with a beer ejector. Myn Donos's droid Shiner was the only other survivor from his original squadron, leading to Donos's Heroic BSoD when he's destroyed. And Lara Nostil's companion Tonin got to become King of the Droids and help take down a Super Star Destroyer. Galaxy of Fear has DV-9, who feels like his talents are wasted on babysitting and resents this duty, and is the most worlds-weary of the cast, but still feels driven to help his charges and his master however he can. Still, he elects to be Put on a Bus halfway through. |

In Time of Eve, part of the narrative is to ask if all robots should be forced to abide by this trope, for our own safety or otherwise, with some playing it straight while others subvert it. | |

The Robotic Assistant Labor Facilitator, or RALF, from Flight of the Navigator works at NASA delivering mail and supplies in between facilities. Its operator, Carolyn, says it's prone to some mistakes here and there, but thanks to its hollow interior, it proves instrumental to getting David out of isolation and in contact with the alien spacecraft. | |

Code Prime has several of the major human characters (on both sides) having their own Cybertronian partners. Bumblebee is the first Cybertronian Lelouch meets in the story, and he quickly becomes a trusted confidante and friend to the former prince. Lelouch also has this in the form of Optimus, who serves as a mentor to Lelouch, as well as a Parental Substitute. To an extent, Optimus is this for C.C. as he plays a big part in C.C. losing her cynicism, and makes a contract with her at the end of R1, receiving a Geass. Kallen forms a strong bond with Arcee and Cliffjumper, seeing them as her family. Tragically, Cliff dies during the Black Rebellion. Rai and Tamaki are fellow Wreckers alongside Bulkhead and Wheeljack. Ironhide becomes this to some degrees with Ohgi and Tohdoh, serving as The Lancer alongside the former and often acting as his truck, while sharing the position of handling military affairs with the latter. Megatron serves as a mentor to Charles in R1, helping him become 98th Emperor of Britannia before turning on him at the ends of R1 and killing him. Dreadwing is this for Suzaku and later Euphemia, being the only Decepticon that the two trust and consider a friend, calling the former his brother and swearing his loyalty to the latter after learning the truth of Cybertron's destruction. Sadly, he dies to ensure they escape Kamine Island with Cornelia at the end of R1. Lloyd and Knock Out bond in R1 over upgrading the Lancelot and other elite Knightmares until Lloyd's defection at R1's finale. Drift and his Mini-Cons bond with Tohdoh and the Four Holy Swords, fighting together in the Black Dragon Unit. To an extent, Jetstorm and Safeguard also become this to Sayoko, impressed with her Ninja Maid skills and asking if she can teach them some of her moves. Grindcore bonds with Suzaku over their shared past of being former Decepticons. He later bonds with Yukiya, offering to be a friend. Sideswipe hits it off with Ryo, both of them being cocky and hotheaded, but also caring of their friends. Despite Strongarm being a By-the-Book Cop, and Ayano being rebellious and impulsive, the two become partners. Perceptor and Fixit become this for the Black Knights' R&D team. Steeljaw and Shin appear to be forming their own partnership. Ratchet can be considered one for Shirley as well, as both wish to do more besides being Mission Control for their friends. Shirley is also concerned when Ratchet becomes addicted to unfinished Synthetic Energon, and is relieved when he stops taking it. Later, she manages to have Ratchet take her to the SAZ Massacre, and later to Ashford Academt during the Black Rebellion so she can help her friends. |

Earthsearch has cleaning robot Tidy and agricultural robot George. Unlike Angel One and Two, the megalomaniacal Master Computers who control the spaceship, they are loyal and obedient but never happy about all the tasks they're constantly being forced to do that are outside their programming. Tidy has a Running Gag of complaining about all the mess he has to clean up whenever disaster strikes, while George gripes that Robots Are Just Better but it's no use expecting miracles from them. | |

AI: The Somnium Files: Aiba, Date's Servile Snarker sentient bionic eye who assists him with investigations and invading the dreams of suspects. She's capable of leaving his eye socket and producing a form resembling a gelatinous hamster to move around, but takes on a humanoid form inside a person's Somnium. Naturally, she's Three Laws-Compliant but it doesn't stop her from threatening to self-destruct inside his skull when he gets too sidetracked while investigating. The sequel introduces Tama and Marco, the bionic eye partners of Ryuki and the Masked Woman respectively. Both have the same abilities as Aiba, but different personalities and physical/humanoid forms. Tama is very stern towards but also extremely loyal to Ryuki, while Marco is shy to the point of not having any voiced dialogue, letting Bibi do all the talking. |

Number 5/Johnny 5 from Short Circuit is an artificially intelligent military robot designed to be dropped behind enemy lines during a nuclear exchange and deliver a tactical nuke to a high value target. When he is hit be lightning it imbues him with an innocent, curious, childlike personality that quickly becomes a wise-cracking pop culture junkie. He also develops a tremendous respect for all forms of life. | |
