Ah yes 1979... Good movie... A research vessel out in space comes across a "lost" vessel of a very mad scientist hanging on the outer ridge of a huge black hole! Turns out to be the basic story of good verse's evil. Kind of hard core for Disney in my opinion. One crazy mad man with a crew of what seems like robotic automatons that turn out to be scavenged crew members turned into cyborg like slaves. There where 3 robots in the movie, 2 of which are Frikbots Vincent & Maximilian above and a 3rd which was an older version of Vincent's model named BOB...

Ah Black Hole. I completely forget what that movie was about but I remember Vincent and Bob as well as the scene of the star coming towards the actors at incredibly slow speed through a tunnel or bridge.

BOB was funny, with that kind of country accent. The reason I didn't toss him in is it's just a generic name also and I wanted the names to have some flair. Looking back at the list it's missing a few obvious choices (Bender Bending Rodriguez) and certain things like Star Trek are over represented.

..There was a good reason for the accent as the actor Slim Pickens who was BOB's voice started his career as a real life cowboy who ran the rodeo circuit before getting his start as an actor in western films... Surprised

As far as the Trek influence on the bots...its all good... Also 2 obvious robots would be R2D2 & C3P0.. Smile Futurama alone has @ least 5 good robot characters to use:

Bender, Calculon, Robot Santa, Robot Devil, Flexo, Tiny Tim, Hedonisnbot, etc etc...

I may still have the View Master + audio of Black Hole laying around somewhere Razz Or maybe it was just a book that came with an audio tape. I forget.
