Maria

Maria (Metropolis, 1927) A multilayered figure, symbol meaning that goes well beyond a killing robot and a robot with heart. Maria intersects & joins the science, tech, political and metaphysical nexuses.

Wow, Maria has stormed back to TIE! We are going to have a three-way!!!

Maria

Maria - 4
The Terminator - 3

Need more votes to decide this intense fight...

Still waiting...

We are still stuck on this round after a week? Come on HDC: vote! :shocked:

Indeed.

Still waiting, folks...

5+ days since the last vote was cast (by Chronogrl), and we are still stuck.

Need some more votes in here, folks!

Idk if I count, but Maria because Metropolis. There should be no other reason.

You are a member of this community, of course you count!

Like hammerfan said above, you are a part of HDC's community so you have every right to vote in any/all tournaments.

And, thank you. We finally have a winner after almost 10 days!!

Maria - 5 (neverending, Horror4ever, Sculpt, Chronogrl, horcrux2007)
The Terminator - 3 (Anthropophagus, MichaelMyers, The Villain)
R2-D2 - 3 (hammerfan, roshiq, realdealblues)

Maria makes a huge comeback and pips both her more-fancy opponents to thunder into the GRAND FINALE!!

That's encouraging.

Hmmm, tough one!!!

Ash

Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer - HAL 9000
(2001: A Space Odyssey / 2010: The Year We Make Contact, 1968/1984)

HAL.

Ash

Hal 9000

HAL

Gort

Tough one between HAL and Gort.

I'll go with Gort

Getting down to the wire with these...

Ash (Alien, 1979)

Between Ash and Hal, I'm voting Ash. Both Hal & Ash are sentient & seem to 'malfuction', debatable for both. To me Hal is straight human, high intel with immaturity & pride. Ash's personality is more complex, & yet also, strangely enough, is more computer-like in obeying his programming, and expresses his inability to possess compassion, keeping the key essence of being non-human (or robot/android/cyborg/AI), where Hal goes human in being afraid to die.
