Space Quest's Famous Robots - gamemaster1991 - 01-30-2014 In the updated VGA-remake of Space Quest 1 (AKA Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter), you can go to Droids B Us and find a bunch of androids that are from popular TV shows, Movies, and Anime. FB-001. It's an all-purpose house keeping robot that guards the shop. This would be a reference to Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet. Def-Tech. It's a robot built for war by a race that killed itself off. This would be a reference to the Rifleman class Battlemech from Battletech/MechWarrior. YX-10. A Robot that was designed as a family companion on long space vacations and is great with kids, but has a disorder that makes it yell "Danger!". This would be a reference to the B-9 robot from Lost In Space. HU-1D. A gardening robot that can run for a long time and is quiet. This is a reference to the robots in the movie Silent Running. Dalick. A dangerous robot that kills everyone who buys it. These are a reference to the Daleks from Doctor Who. HA-Y-AO. A peace keeping robot that is in hibernation. This is a reference to the Laputian robots from 'Castle in the Sky', while thier name could be a reference to the director, Hayao Miyazaki. (I couldn't find a picture from the movie I could use) Max-42. A bodyguard robot with saws and a tendency to be over-zealous. This is a reference to Maximilian from the movie The Black Hole. On the Table you can find the head of Ultron-17 (a reference to Marvel's Ultron) and the arm of an Arnoid-1000 Exterminator (a spoof on Arnold Schwarzenegger and the T-1000 Terminator). Here's a video to show off the descriptions for all but the Ultron head and the Arnoid arm I'm unsure if this also applies to the original version of the game as I have not found any information about it. There are three robots that I have heard are references, but I know nothing about the charicters or the sires they come from, so maybe they are or aren't. Murage is a reference to a robot from Five Star Stories. ROC-2000 is a refrance to ROG-2000 SUX-9000 is the only one I have no clue for but I hear that it could be a reference to the Robocop car, 6000-SUX.
