The opposite of those human-looking robots such as the Robot Girl. This is a robot designed with function over form in mind — or at least, designed to look like it is. Though most historical examples are technically humanoid in form,note remember: CG was a new thing back then, and puppets are expensive, so you gotta be able to get a costumed actor to play these machines they still generally look like a trashcan or boiler with arms, legsnote if it even gets those and a head — either distinct or fused to their torso — pasted onto it. This robot is usually not painted and it's often possible to easily see screw heads holding it together. Bonus points if the robot's arms are made of flexi-tube with pincers at the end. Nowadays usually done to make the 'bot look amateur-made or old-fashioned, as the unwieldiness such machines (especially those played by costumed actors) displayed on-screen almost completely discredited this trope to modern audiences. However, in older Zeerust, it was often played straight. Compare Used Future, Real Robot Genre. Compare and contrast with Starfish Robots. See also Forgot He Was a Robot for when this robot starts acting like a Ridiculously Human Robot. No relation to Tinman Typist. |

NEPTR from Adventure Time literally has a tin can Finn meant to be his "head" and drew a face on. When a lightning bolt brought it to life, its actual face ended up being elsewhere and the can-head is purely ornamental. | |

In Samurai Jack, the earliest robots built for Aku looked like they were made of scrap parts, including tin cans. They weren't very reliable and could only move about for a few seconds before breaking down. They were not sentient, however, so there was no worry about it—the roboticists just went back and designed better robots. By the time Jack arrives in the Bad Future, automatons had become advanced enough that the only ones that didn't pass off as Ridiculously Human Robots were designed intentionally to be robot-like (some of whom also intentionally invoke Tin Can Robot style, such as Extor's wicker basket robots). | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot", Homer builds one of these out of a mailbox for Bart to enter in a Robot Wars-style TV show. Justified in that Homer was secretly working it from inside, having realized he had not the faintest idea how to actually build a robot. When it doesn't work, he instead wears it like armor and pretends to be a robot. | |

The Mandalorian: The design of IG-11, an assassin droid, was definitely inspired by the classic Tin-Can Robot. However, it actually serves a purpose here. IG's skinny, bare limbs mean he is not weighed down by extra armor, and his cylindrical design allows him to rotate parts of his body independently of each other. His large, cylindrical head is equipped with numerous sensors that can also rotate independently, granting him 360 degree vision. His bare-bones but highly optimized design allows him to be an incredibly deadly mercenary. | |

Spider-Man once has to deal with the robot XP-2000, who is really obsolete compared to androids like The Vision and Ultron. Keep in mind that Ultron was designed in the 1970s, and Vision was built by Ultron. This says a lot about XP-2000 being designed obsolete. The original Ultron design was actually pretty in-line with this aesthetic, though. | |

Mettaton in Undertale is described aptly as a "sexy rectangle"; despite looking like a vending machine on a unicycle with Trollface "shloopy" arms, he's considered Mr. Fanservice in-universe. Amusingly, he implies on the Genocide path that he considers this form more attractive than his Pretty Boy EX and NEO forms. | |

Mario Party 6: The minigame Body Builder has two teams of characters assemble a robot of this type in a factory. The parts used to assemble the robots are provided by a machine, but their pictures pass by like a slot machine, and each team's players have to press switches right when the glowing picture is spot on (as it indicates the next part to be extracted to build the robot). The player on the left has to extract the feet and torso, while the on the right has to extract the legs and head. The first team to assemble their robot wins; but if both manage to assemble them at the same time, the minigame ends in a tie. | |

Cheezoid from That Mitchell and Webb Look, which makes sense as he was made in a shed. Parodied with the Replidroids later in the series — they look like a standard Tin Can Robot, but everyone in the Battlestar Galactica spoof sketch behaves as if they're Ridiculously Human Robots. |

The Robobrains from Fallout fit the bill, unusually having glass domes filled with a living brain for heads and very heavily resembling The Robot from Lost in Space. The Protectron models, meanwhile, look suspiciously like Robbie the Robot from Forbidden Planet. The Synths in Fallout 4 notably avert this by being distinctly humanoid, especially 3rd Generation Synths, which are nearly completely identical to humans in almost every way. Because A.I. Is a Crapshoot, this is a point of major contention for Wastelanders, who are used to dealing with the obviously artificial tin-can robots of the previous games. | |

The Bots Master: While all the BOYZZ look like they've been assembled from scrap, most of the more combat-oriented BOYZZ are at least pretty humanoid proportion-wise. Some of the non-combatant BOYZZ better fit the bill, while still being roughly humanoid. The biggest standouts from that group are Genesix, with binocular eyes and a mouth that's a simple clamp, and Cook, who has a drum-shaped head with stalk eyes and a long, skinny neck that connects it to his round body. | |

Auta Magetta in Dragon Ball Super sports this look, though various authority figures imply he's not actually a robot but naturally looks this way. Nevertheless, he makes a lot of mechanical sounds as he moves and speaks only in onomatopoeia of those mechanical sounds. As one of Universe 6's strongest fighters, Magetta is seemingly indestructible and has Magma Man powers, but he is very bulky and cannot fly. | |

In the 1982 schlocky Hong Kong comedy film, Winner Takes All, the protagonist who is The Gambler challenged a crime boss to an Absurdly High-Stakes Game of mahjong, where the loser will get decapitated by a descending blade. The crime boss agreed, but then reveals he had a tin-can robot assistant (who is programmed with the brains of six different mahjong champions) playing in his stead. No, the movie doesn't really make any sense. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog has many, most notably the E-100 series such as E-102 Gamma and E-123 Omega. Technically, these can be considered a sort of “self portrait� of their creator, but they’re still fairly tin-can shaped (with some embellishments), notably lacking a neck and having their heads stick straight out of their torso. | |

Spider-Man: Spider-Man once has to deal with the robot XP-2000, who is really obsolete compared to androids like The Vision and Ultron. Keep in mind that Ultron was designed in the 1970s, and Vision was built by Ultron. This says a lot about XP-2000 being designed obsolete. The original Ultron design was actually pretty in-line with this aesthetic, though. Also the cobbled-together robots built by Future Max in Web of Spider-Man Annual #1. The one on the cover looks like the original Iron Man armour, with added hydraulic tubes. Finally there's the silver-age Spider-Man villain The Living Brain, featuring the greatest mechanical mind 1964 could offer in the shape of a green box with arms, legs and a domelike head. |

The original version of Computo from Legion of Super-Heroes was a box on wheels, covered in dials, with another box for a head and hosepipe arms. Later versions generally avert this; in post-Zero Hour continuity C.O.M.P.U.T.O first appears as an angry face on a computer screen before possessing Triad, and the version that later appears as the leader of Robotica looks like a guy in armour with Kirby Dots for a head. The New 52 incarnation of Computo follows the latter appearance, despite having an almost competely different origin. | |

This is a common monster template in Doctor Who, as they're a relatively easy "obviously non-human but not obviously just a guy in a suit' monster design: The Daleks certainly deserve a mention, despite technically being cyborgs. They're sort of bizarre by being roughly 1.6 metres tall and having odd hemispherical protrusions, but there's a reason they are often dubbed "pepperpots". Mechonoids are spherical, flamethrower-equipped robots the size of a small shed. There was some hope they'd be the next Daleks. The Krotons, the Sontaran scout robot, the Quarks, the servo robot, the Chumblies, the War Machines, the robot in "Robot"... Parodied gently in "The Celestial Toymaker", where the Toymaker's robot servant is a giant wind-up tin robot. |

The Federation security robot in Blake's 7 which unfortunately was never as menacing as it was supposed to be, given the tendency of its arms to flap up and down as it moved, and the flamethrower that dropped out of its groin region which caused the production crew to dub it "The Flasher". Eventually the poor bot was restricted to a couple of close-up scenes in the early episodes. | |

Homestar Runner: The Cheat Bot is not a real robot (being The Cheat with a metal can on top), but would be a perfect example if he were.

Train Your Minibot: The titular Minibot has a boxy head and torso. Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2: The Gearmos are tin robots with cog-shaped heads and gauge-like eyes. While short-tempered, they're actually friendly; some of them will reward Mario and Luigi with Power Stars upon helping them or completing a minigame. Mario Party 6: The minigame Body Builder has two teams of characters assemble a robot of this type in a factory. The parts used to assemble the robots are provided by a machine, but their pictures pass by like a slot machine, and each team's players have to press switches right when the glowing picture is spot on (as it indicates the next part to be extracted to build the robot). The player on the left has to extract the feet and torso, while the on the right has to extract the legs and head. The first team to assemble their robot wins; but if both manage to assemble them at the same time, the minigame ends in a tie. |

Star Trek: Voyager. Satan's Robot from The Adventures of Captain Proton holodeck Show Within a Show in "Bride of Chaotica!". The holodeck characters act like it's a terrifying Killer Robot, but in reality it's slow-moving, easily disabled and rather pathetic. To be fair this is Played for Laughs, as it's a holodeck recreation of an in-universe 1930's movie serial that the characters are playing to relieve boredom. Only the computer-generated characters are afraid of the robot, the crewmembers think it's ridiculous. Out of universe, the whole thing is an Affectionate Parody of real 1930's serials, with Satan's Robot inspired by the Republic Robot. | |

Metroid: Super Metroid features these in the Wrecked Ship. They were round cylinders with legs and no arms. The Tinbots, defenders of the Steampunk planet Elysia in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, are exactly that; easily blown apart and even more easily melted once the Plasma Beam is acquired. The Steambots and Steamlord are less fragile. |
