Robotic Assembly Lines	comment	In fiction, robotic factory montages are sometimes added to showcase Special Effects or to establish Infinite Supplies so that the viewers can stop wondering, "Where did all that X come from?" Note: These are assembly lines made of robots, not necessarily assembly lines making robots. Also, these are usually done as a fleeting scene to indicate that it is not that important for the plot. See also: Technology Porn, Eternal Engine, Creation Sequence or Forging Scene.

Robotic Assembly Lines / int_1133352a	comment	Terminator. The climax of the first movie takes place in a robot assembly plant, with obvious Rule of Symbolism. Kyle Reese turns on the machines to make it difficult for the Terminator to track them.
