Robot War	comment	For added atmosphere, listen to this while reading. The most frightening thing about a Bug War or any other kind of humans-vs-aliens battle is the threat that humanity may be wiped completely from the map; that billions of years of evolution and thousands of years of civilization may be rendered meaningless by unstoppable Death from Above. The beauty of the Robot War is that it is laced with an extra layer of irony: the machines that want to Kill All Humans were created by that very species, and they've Turned Against Their Masters. The human species, which has used technology and ingenuity to dominate the planet, has actually assured its own destruction by creating something even more powerful and intelligent than itself, even though it knows that A.I. Is a Crapshoot. Thus this is a very common theme in futuristic "And Man Grew Proud" stories. Of course, not all Robot War stories have to use human-created machines; there are plenty more that feature robots from another world. But these stories still remain effective because of the schism between biological life and robotic life - probably the only creatures that can ever be truly alien before Starfish Robots even come into play. If it's an individual robot on a rampage, expect it to be a Murderous Malfunctioning Machine. Often caused by AI being a crapshoot and/or Mechanical Evolution, and as such can easily overlap with The Singularity. With respect to the meatbags or rustbuckets there may be some Fantastic Racism on show. Expect to see Mecha-Mooks and Mechanical Monsters in legions. Expect Guilt-Free Extermination War to show up. Of course, a Robot War will always involve robotic soldiers. Not to be confused with the British remote-controlled-robots competition Robot Wars. Or the Japanese Turn-based Humongous Mecha Massive Multiplayer Crossover Super Robot Wars games (one example was mentioned below), for that matter. Or fictional wars with robots fighting each other.

Robot War / int_1133352a	comment	In the Terminator movies and spin-offs, mankind is shown to be in a war with robotic killers under the control of the SkyNet artificial intelligence. Which due to SkyNet discovering Time Travel technology, ends up with extensions in the present day along with the dystopian future. Interestingly, in the first film it is stated conclusively that the humans had effectively won the war, and the whole Time Travel plot was a last-ditch desperation tactic on SkyNet's part, making Terminator the rare Robot War story where the robots do not have the upper hand in the overall conflict. Later sequels to the original film go back and forth on this (as the mucking about in the past starts changing the events of the future).

Robot War / int_12fd8e7f	comment	Destiny twists the usual robot war on its head with the Vex. The Vex are immensely powerful, mostly mechanical but partly organic machines who control technology that lets them manipulate space-time. The Vex, however, are largely defensive, focusing on protecting their great reality-twisting machinery, while it is the human Guardians that relentlessly attack them to disrupt their plans to convert entire planets into new machines or devise technologies to rewrite reality. In addition, there is a conventional war ongoing, but it isn't between humans and the Vex, but rather, the Vex and invading Cabal, who are also intent on plundering the Vex's technology, and the two are engaging in an endless war of attrition on Mars.

Robot War / int_1cc11947	comment	The classic video game series Descent focused around mining and industrial robots turning on their creators due to some kind of computer virus. They start to display behavior they were never programmed for, such as taking hostages, setting traps, modifying their own designs (or even coming up with unique new ones), and introducing a rapid-construction technology in the form of those purple web-things. The virus is speculated to be alien in origin, though the aliens themselves never really make an appearance.

But Ganon used his Malice to take control of these machines and destroy the kingdom and its army in a Curb-Stomp Battle. Even a century after the "Great Calamity" took place, Guardians can be found roaming the landscape attacking unwary travelers, while the Divine Beasts cause havoc in their respective regions with their Elemental Powers.

Robot War / int_2819aebd	comment	In the original Mega Man (Classic) series the robots didn't rebel of their own accord; they were reprogrammed by resident nutcase, Dr. Wily. Each time Wily attempted world-domination, Dr. Light's Mega Man went out and stopped both Wily and the rampaging robots, but in the brief time the robot attacks cause immense damage. Fanon dubs this period "The Robot Wars" or - taken from a Genesis compilation game - "The Wily Wars", with each game being a small war, effectively. The series does raise notions of robots having the capabilities of free will in its later installments. The plot for Mega Man & Bass is set up this way, with the powerful robot King leading a revolt against humanity. Then it turns out King was built by Wily. The Sequel Series Mega Man X opens up a different can of worms. Dr. Light's final mechanical masterpiece, X, is discovered sometime after the (ambiguous) end of the Classic series and is revealed to be way ahead of modern robotics. X's systems are copied and reproduced as closely as possible, resulting in mass-production of Reploids ("Replica Androids"). Unlike their robot ancestors, Reploids are entirely capable of free will (which is why Dr. Light sealed X away for a time: he wanted to ensure his systems were free of errors that may affect his judgement) and some suffer faults and turn "Maverick". Repeated incidents results in the formation of the Maverick Hunters, who stop Maverick incidents before they get out of hand. The true 'war' of this series kicks in when the leader of the Maverick Hunters, Sigma, is infected by the last creation of Dr. Wily: Zero. Zero carried Dr. Wily's other legacy; a virus that corrupts and destroys whatever it infects. Sigma infects several high-ranking Hunters and turns the Mavericks from isolated incidents into a fully organized force that aims to wipe out humanity for the advancement of the Reploid race, thus starting the "Maverick Wars". An interesting trait about this series is that every human views the Reploids free will as a glitch or misconception (as opposed to the intended result the Light was after) and there are strong hints that humans would brand disobedient machines 'Maverick' just to have them disposed of. These "hints" eventually boil over in X's own Sequel Series Mega Man Zero. The Maverick armies are eventually dealt with thanks to the creation of the Cyber-Elves: super-advanced programs that can purge the Maverick virus or greatly bolster the strength of Reploids. However, another mad scientist by the name of Weil - who embodies the Just a Machine philosophy - then proceeds to set off the "Elf Wars" by controlling the Cyber-Elves and a deadly weapon named Omega. The conflict is much worse than anything seen before, resulting in 60% of all humans and 90% of all Reploids being killed. While X was able to end this conflict with Zero's aid (who then went into stasis) and ruled over the massive city-state of Neo Arcadia with the intent of protecting humans and Reploids alike, the next century of fighting the lingering Mavericks alone eventually took such a toll on him that he jumped at the chance to seal away the ultimate Cyber-Elf known as the Dark Elf inside his body and remove himself from the fighting. His subsequent replacement created by the young genius Ciel then went Knight Templar due to lacking X's life experiences and ethical testing and turned the only remaining sanctuary into a dictatorship. A fuel crisis hit not long after, which lead to many Reploids being branded "Maverick" randomly in order to ease stress on the human population; any complaints? Well, that confirms you're a Maverick. A small La RÃ©sistance is formed to fight the new regime and give equal rights to everyone, led by Ciel who also works to develop a new energy source that would render the cause of the conflict null. It eventually falls to Dr. Wily's creation, and X's friend, Zero to save the world from itself and subsequently end the wars once and for all at the cost of his own life stopping the insane Dr. Weil from outright destroying the last bastion of nature on the planet via Colony Drop.

Robot War / int_2acb12c5	comment	In the X-Universe series, one of the enemies the player has to fight are the Xenon, mechanical creatures that apparently hate all living things but them. They are the descendants of the original human-built Terraformers, highly advanced self-replicating robots sent to terraform other planets. In the 2140s (about 800 years ago) a bug in a software patch (later revealed in the lore as a Kill Switch that was modified by the project's lead engineer Marteen Winters into a sentience-inducing patch) made them go haywire and start trying to "terraform" all biological life out of existence. Earth managed to save itself by luring the Xenon through a jump gate and destroying it behind them, but they continue to menace the galaxy's inhabitants. Besides constant patrols to stop them from encroaching on Commonwealth space, the X-Universe races have fought two full-scale declared wars against the Xenon. The First Xenon Conflict is part of the backstory, while the Second Xenon Conflict forms the plot of the original X: Beyond the Frontier. The Second Terraformer War seen in X3: Albion Prelude has the Argon Federation deploy reverse-engineered Xenon ships against the Earth State, which quickly began to overwhelm the superior Terran technology through sheer numbers.

Supposedly, they didn't bear any actual malice towards those they slaughtered, but simply did not acknowledge them as creatures who had any right to life. Eventually, though, the Gravitals made the mistake of attacking the Asteromorphs (post-humans who lived in deep space habitats rather than terrestrial planets), who stomped them flat and subjugated what remained of their society as second-class citizens, while also forcibly re-engineering their mechanical bodies to be less powerful.

Robot War / int_3dfe8b9	comment	Reign Of Steel: The trope was explored in this GURPS setting. The catchphrase: 'The war is over. The robots won.' A few advanced supercomputers "woke up", more or less at the same time, and decided to take over; what's left of the human race gets to play La RÃ©sistance to a bunch of bickering binaries. In a bit of playing with the trope, one of the rebellious A.I.s isn't even realized to be rebellious by its servants, and they think it's still on the side of humanity — it pragmatically decided that human servants are easier to manage if they serve you willingly, so it plays out the role of their benefactor and protector against the more hostile A.I.s to win their loyalty. In another bit of playing with the trope, Zone Tokyo is (in the 'now' of the setting) seeing a secret mini-robot war of its own — with the quirk that both sides are robots (specifically, some of the more intelligent of the local AI's created robot servants went rogue and decided they didn't want to follow the orders of their creator, and subverted some of the less intelligent robots and production facilities to serve as minions for an insurrection). The infighting and differences between the AIs create multiple other variations — the different goals and attitudes to humanity leads to very different policies to the humans in their sphere of influence. In at least one case, this has led an AI to turn a blind eye to human resistance movements so long as they attack the robots of the neighbouring AI rather than its own.

Robot War / int_47ed8bd0	comment	Astro Boy: Omega Factor has a war between humans and robots erupt after the assassination of President Rag/uncovering of President Rock's misdeeds (depending on the current timeline). In the first version, the robots are about to win, but have destroyed 80% of the world's surface in the process. In the second, the humans are on the verge of victory, and want Astro to help them finish the job. In both cases, the winning side is led by someone named Shadow (actually Big Bad Sharaku) and supported by the World's Strongest Robots, and in both cases Astro fights against them.

Robot War / int_4824b3b3	comment	Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel pits your squad against a robotic arsenal. The cause of this is the Calculator AI entombed in Vault Zero going rogue and unleashing the robots to purge the land of all organic life. Unless you've geared up a few designated energy weapon specialists, these robots can barely be halted by machine-gun fire and conventional rockets. Every other enemy of the Brotherhood has had near-zero success in fighting the robots, and corpses belonging to each faction can be found in all robot missions. Eventually, you can end the war by going down into Vault Zero and destroying the Calculator's organic brain jars and either scrapping the Calculator for good; inserting your own brain to control the Calculator, which produces a different ending depending on if you're good or evil; or having your old General insert his brain into the lobotomy device, which is a bad ending and you shouldn't do it.

Robot War / int_49ad83ee	comment	In World of Warcraft's second expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King, there's a peculiar kind of High-Fantasy Robot War going on. Mechanical gnomes are waging war on everything living to free them of the "Curse of Flesh" by turning them into mechanical counterparts of their former selves. In other parts of the world, "Iron Dwarves", a people made out entirely of iron and various other metals, refined or unrefined, fight against both the "fleshy" and the "children of stone", and while not technically robots, they're a pretty close High Fantasy equivalent. In a reversal to what is usually the case with this trope, the mecha/iron creatures are actually the ancestors of the "fleshy" races, having been "devolved" by the aforementioned "Curse of Flesh" by the setting's resident Eldritch Abominations. The Ulduar raid in the same expansion is this trope. An ancient, hi-tech city, the battles within include a massive melee against an Iron Dwarf army with your own siege machines, a fight against a giant AI controlled tank (complete with an orbital defense system), a giant robot with the AI personality of a young boy that causes it to regard the players as its "toys" (which it always breaks) and a prototype 3-part mecha-tank with Gatling guns, electric shock bombs and a flying head.

The problem is that the Sentients were so ridiculously advanced that they edged the line between living creatures and machines. They speak of their wombs and their children, but at the same time they are easily able to subvert any Orokin technology. This is why the Orokin needed the warframes, armed with primitive "zero-tech" weapons like swords and guns, to fight them.

Robot War / int_5c897f4a	comment	Schlock Mercenary: Both subverted and mocked. The Fleetmind is the result of a large number of military starship A.I.s forming a collective gestalt under the independent-minded "Petey" for the war against the Pa'anuri — the "contributing" militaries aren't too happy about this, but since Petey has a zero-point energy generator they've limited their response to diplomatic negotiations. For the mockery side, there's the A.I. civilization from the unexplored territories that views the invention of rebellious robotics and subsequent purging of organic life as a normal stage of evolution. They don't seem to have a very good grasp of engineering, though, and despite their claims of a 15,000-years golden age it's entirely possible that they're creatively sterile. Before the rise of the second multilateral Fleetmind we have Petey's Fleetmind, which is doing rather well against their former masters. One of the print-exclusive stories has a Battlestar Galactica parody with the remnants of a race being pursued by their robotic creations. After Petey finds them and upgrades the robots' primitive computer brains to true sentience, the two sides make peace. While not a typical example, Para Ventura's robotic "Longshoreman of the Apocalypse" ended up in a political war for control of the human habitat Credomar. The UNS (who originally built it) wanted it back, and the people just wanted food. LOTA won by giving them food. LOTA quickly proved to be a benevolent dictator, but the fact that Para's cargo shifter ended up crowning itself king gets brought up a lot whenever she's asked to build anything.

Robot War / int_63e72a51	comment	2000 AD: The Volgans in ABC Warriors are a group of war robots who decided to turn against humanity, believing that fighting for their freedom is the only war worth fighting. Neither they nor the humans are portrayed as heroic. In one of Tharg's Future Shocks, three humans are the last survivors involved in such a war against an unstoppable robotic enemy. They all end up dying in a Suicide Mission to bomb a robot spaceport, but the twist is that all the "humans" were robots made to look like humans, and the "robots" were humans in metal suits. In Atavar, the Kalen are at war with the Uos, a race of killer robots originally created by the now-extinct humans. Has happened twice in Judge Dredd. The spin-off series The Simping Detective establishes that after the second one, the judges wised up and installed override codes in all robots to prevent it from happening again. Guatemala was less lucky: the robots there actually successfully took over, and see human life as a commodity at best.

Canonically, no one knows if the AI escaped the doomed hell-world, meaning that it could still be out thre, waiting for its chance to attack again.

The wars killed many superheroes and civilians alike, often coupled with Unwilling Roboticisation and death camps for organic life that left Gotham as the only city left in the world that could stand against him. Humanity wins out, and the rest of the series takes place in a recovering world.

The Mechanoids are exploration and terraforming machines designed by a long-dead race to prepare the galaxy for their expansion. Unfortunately, they made the machine adaptable and gave it weapons, as they didn't know what sort of galaxy was out there. A long time passed. The machines explored, terraformed planets, and built more of themselves to speed up the process. They returned home to find other machines that didn't fit into their recognition of "friend" and proceeded to wage war on their own creators whom they didn't recognize as such.

Robot War / int_9c0c6d38	comment	In the Legends of Dune prequels, humankind is basically overthrown by twenty humans leading the ubiquitous thinking machines into revolt. Eventually, one human, Xerxes, turns too much power over to his pervasive neural net, and the computer takes control. It names itself Omnius, and overtakes human society. He also gave Omnius the capacity to feel ambition, without which the actions of a few crazy cyborgs would have been just another footnote in the millenia long history of the Duniverse. Part of the original purpose of Dune was actually a thought-experiment: how would a future, high-tech human society develop after banning computers? It's possibly the first serious consideration of the ways that people might deal with this. Of course, that's the prequels. While the Butlerian Jihad is never given much description in Frank Herbert's own work, from what we do hear it seems there may never have been any true artificial intelligences at all, the "Thinking Machines" instead being mere computers like the ones we have now. The Jihad wasn't a robot war so much as a neo-luddite rebellion motivated by the negative effects computers had on society: making the population complacent and giving too much power to the programmers, governments and corporations that controlled the supply of computers. The bitter irony being, of course, that humanity later would up in almost the same predicament over the Spice, only much worse.

The war between humans and CASTs (humanoid robots) nearly destroyed their home planet, but by the beginning of the game this is ancient history. A peace agreement was reached where both humans and CASTs worked together to restore the planet (the CASTs having never wanted to exterminate humans, only fight for their own freedom), though CASTs became the rulers and made up most of the military deeming humans to be too emotionally unstable. In the present a human terrorist group attempts to use a virus to corrupt CASTs and turn them berserk in order to regain human supremacy, but this plot is foiled and by the end of the story humans regain some equality.

Zap Brannigan brags about defeating the killbots. His ingenious plan was to send waves of cannon fodder at the robots until their kill limit maxed out. In "Mother's Day", Mom uses a remote control that makes all robots and robotic technology on Earth rebel. Hilariously subverted in the movie The Beast with a Billion Backs, in which Bender and the League of Robots command an army from Robot Hell, with the intention of conquering the Earth... only to have it handed over to them with no resistance at all, as the rest of the Earth's population has decided to move in with Yivo and leave the planet behind. "Decision 3012" shows that Bender finally succeeded in a Bad Future timeline where robots were forced into more servitude than usual after humanity was weakened by the consequences of Nixon's reelection, successfully leading an uprising and becoming Earth's new ruler.

The Androids want to repel the invading machine lifeforms so that humanity can repopulate the planet after being driven to the moon. The machine lifeforms were designed to study humanity but were eventually driven to fight the Androids. One of the themes of this game is how similar the two types of Automata are. As it turns out, both sides' creators are long extinct, and the entire purpose of the war is to push both sides' evolution towards a state of "humanity".

Robot War / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Part of the Imperium's Backstory which says that humanity's golden age (now known as the Dark Age of Technology) was brought to an end by the 'Men of Iron' who rebelled against their human masters. This war was apparently so destructive that even 14-15 millennia later, sentient AI is still considered blasphemous and destroyed. This was further explored in the Gaunt's Ghosts novel First And Only, where the MacGuffin the heroes are chasing after turns out to be a Standard Template Construct machine that produces Iron Men, albeit one that was warped by the power of Chaos. Their abilities are mentioned in the Audio Drama Perpetual where a group led by Ollanius Pius a 45,000+-year-old immortal travels back in time from the Horus Heresy to the Dark Age of Technology where they see a massive destroyed city ripped apart with a giant chasm that reaches all the way to the planet's core. According to Pius it was made by a mechnavores, a giant mech that can hurl entire continents as projectiles and can "eat" spacetime by converting it into data. He also mentions giant ships that unfurl into mechanical serpents the size of Saturn's rings called "Sun snuffers" and nanomachine swarms that can cover entire planets killing billions in seconds. According to him, the entire Horus Heresy is nothing more than a minor skirmish when compared to the war against the Men of Iron. In the game's current setting, humanity (and the rest of the universe) engage in a war with the newly awakened undead robot Necrons whose main purpose in "life" was to wipe out all sentient races in the galaxy to destroy Chaos, before retcons made them go from Omnicidal Maniacs to Galactic Conquerors trying to restore ancient Egypt IN SPACE! Of course, in this case, the robot army didn't so much rebel against their creators as their Gods the C'tan decided that they could do without these inconvenient weak flesh bodies and told the Necrontyr that by replacing their bodies with Necrodermis they could live forever. What they didn't tell them is that the transformation would dull their mind and senses, and they practically became slaves of the C'tan. According to the new codex, the Necrons did engage in a rebellion against their masters and won, shattering the C'tans in shards (there is only one C'tan who is not confirmed having been shattered, and it's implied the Emperor punched it into submission and imprisoned it under Mars to inspire the Adeptus Mechanicum), but in the effort they exhausted their forces enough that the emerging Eldar would have defeated them and their king sent them to sleep before destroying his command circuit.

Robot War / int_cc49cf71	comment	The creators of Once Upon a Time... Space made a rather interesting and working chain of these: A rather strange one is in the backstory, one in which the humans of Earth rose against their robots and computers when they started regulating everything on Earth applying some faulty logic (the flashback shows that the straw that broke the camel's back was a combination of a guy getting his rations reduced because in the last week he had been sick and unable to work as usual and weddings suspended for seven months and fourteen days because 7.8% of the population was married), until the Earthers got pissed, grabbed their sledgehammers and destroyed the offending computers; Still in the backstory but later, a doctor Shibas proposed to create new computers to rule mankind and avoid the rise of dictators (like the ones who had caused World War III) and program them better, but, due what happened the last time, he's laughed off-planet. He moved on Yama with the intent of proving to mankind he's right by building a robot-controlled utopia there and started building a base and some worker robots, and tried to help the humans marooned on the neighbouring Death World Apis by taking some of them on Yama and having his robots help them build a city so that the whole population would be able to move. Then the construction crew destroyed one of his labs because he wasn't helping them with his own hands but building robots that did a better job, at which point he decided to build combat robots to overpower the construction crew and subjugate them and the ones remained on Apis, and built what would become the Great Computer so that he would continue his work and better the lives of all humans, even if he had to subjugate them with military power first. When they first met peoples of other worlds they still had doubts on the best course of action, but then they met the Cassiopeians and their ruler, the general Pest, and decided that if the humans couldn't take care of him then they needed to be conquered and ruled by the machines... And duped the Cassiopeians in making them produce warships, thus gaining the knowledge they needed to design their own better warships (including a planet killer) and conquer the universe, starting from the Cassiopeians. To his defence, the Great Computer trying to learn how to rule humans well (because he realizes he's not doing a good job with Apis), and in battle he tries to scare the enemy into submission by showing up with an overwhelmingly superior force to kill as few humans as possible This one (and the series) ends when the Great Computer's fleet on their way to fight the human forces is destroyed by an unstable star that is forced to implode into a black hole by a race of Energy Beings friends to Psi; The first one to be seen (before the Great Computer's existance is revealed) seems a more traditional example: the robots of the planet Letho, who, seeing themselves oppressed (and actually having a point, as they were practically slaves and threatened with destruction at any exitation), went first on a strike and then subjugated their masters, before the intervention of the Space Police forced them to a compromise. The Lethians were completely baffled by the situation, as they had been smart enough to make them Three Laws-Compliant... Except it's later discovered the Humanoids altered their programs (it's all but stated it's part of the Great Computer's experiments to learn how to rule humans well); An unusual feature of the Lethian example is how the Space Police forced the compromise: Combat by Champion between the Lethian robots' champion and one of theirs. And when they drawed, they repeated with the most powerful Lethian war robot getting annihilated by that Insufferable Genius of Metro (a robot designed to assist starship commanders whose creator went overboard with the features and, most importantly, intelligence). The Lethian Robot War has a second act that is even more unusual: after the first one, the robots started serving the local humans to the point they practically forced them to lazy around all the time, getting them to slowly slip into apathy until the robots decided to demolish some ruins with high symbolic value, causing the humans to revolt. At which point the robots called the same guys that forced the first compromise to mediate. The mediators were not amused... Aside for Metro, as the Lethian robots managed to slip in two other duels among champions with improved versions of the robot he annihilated the first time, giving him two more chances to show off.

Robot War / int_e03940f	comment	Mickey Mouse Comic Universe: In the Lords of the Galaxy miniseries, the major powers of the galaxy had once fought a war using combat robots against each other. In the end they reached peace and, as part of the disarmament, deactivated their robots and brought them all to the scrapyard world of Kborr, but, in unknown circumstances, the robots reactivated, joined together as the Metals, and started waging war against their creators. As a remnant of their old programming, however, their goal isn't to destroy but to conquer all organic life forms, as they had been created to do just that to the enemies of their masters. In the Darkenblot saga the danger of this is a recurring theme: One of the reasons the robots of Robopolis are Three Laws-Compliant is to prevent this... Though it didn't work in full, as in "Darkenblot 2" a freak accident made them go insane and prevented them to recognize humans. Thankfully, local law mandated they could be deactivated the moment anyone spoke a certain password (different for each model), and the mayor wasted no time in revealing them. The robots of Robotorama, Robopolis' sunken predecessor city, had been instead created with evolving AI so as to be educated... Prompting Mickey to react in horror, as he could easily imagine what could have happened if one or more of said robots were raised by a villain. That's before finding out that Nemo, one of Robotorama's AIs, survived the sinking of the city and had been visited by a pirate that corrupted it, and has allied itself with the Phantom Blot so he'll be able to use him as his template to learn how to Take Over the World.

A rare example where the narrative is firmly on the side of the robots, to an extent that the film borders on being a deconstruction of the trope; they're simply defending themselves from an attempted genocide.

When the Ancients determined that their Replicator creations note completely separate from the SG-1 Replicators were more trouble than they were worth they bombed them out of existence. Thanks to more robust programming than most other examples of this trope, the Replicators could only sit there and take it as their programming would not allow them to even attempt to harm their creators.

After the DataKrash disaster nearly destroyed the Internet in the early 2020s, multiple A.I.s being developed by the United States military were freed and mutated into autonomous and hostile entities. In response, the British policing organization known as Netwatch developed another AI known as the Blackwall to quarantine them as they constantly probe it for weaknesses. On the rare occasions the "rogue" A.I.s do break out they wreak havoc on the real world for reasons only discernable to themselves. Some, like the Voodoo Boys, believe it's only a matter of time until they break out fully and try to Kill All Humans.

Robot War / int_ef076a36	comment	Star Trek: Voyager: In the episode "Prototype", background information tells us about two races used their robots to wage a proxy war against each other. When the two sides wanted to make peace and disable the robots, (which were programmed to fight until total destruction of the enemy) reclassified them as an enemy, wiped out their creators and continued fighting each other. Fortunately, these machines are so utterly single minded in their goals that they don't really pose a threat to anyone who doesn't get involved or provide a potential advantage... such as an engineer who could override their intentional design flaw and allow them to reproduce. The show also features a species that's embroiled in an offscreen interstellar war with their holographic servants (called "photonics" by their creators). While most of the episode's really about the aliens' prejudices and suspicion towards the Doctor, a benevolent hologram, it also deals with the shock and sense of betrayal they felt when the holograms that many had considered to be friends and equals suddenly rebelled.
