  • The term Fembot describes a series of powerful and deadly life-like androids, designed and created by former OSI scientist, Dr. Franklin. The original Dr. Franklin used his fembots to infiltrate the OSI and obtain the Weather Control Device. The fembots' default operational setting produced a high pitched transistor hum that Jaime Sommers could hear with her bionic ear. When Dr. Franklin realized this, he immediately reduced the fembots' transistor output, eliminating the hum.
  • In a story where sentient robots are commonplace, some of those robots are designed to look feminine. This tends to include sleeker, curvier bodies and bumps on the chest, as well as possible makeup-like patterns on the face. Other Tertiary Sexual Characteristics may also be present. Differs from a Robot Girl in that a Robot girl is basically a girl who happens to be a robot, while a Fembot is a robot who happens to be female. While robot girls always look human with the possible exceptions of antennae or metal joints, fembots are unmistakeably robotic with female bits welded on.

  • In a story where sentient robots are commonplace, some of those robots are designed to look feminine. This tends to include sleeker, curvier bodies and bumps on the chest, as well as possible makeup-like patterns on the face. Other Tertiary Sexual Characteristics may also be present. Differs from a Robot Girl in that a Robot girl is basically a girl who happens to be a robot, while a Fembot is a robot who happens to be female. While robot girls always look human with the possible exceptions of antennae or metal joints, fembots are unmistakeably robotic with female bits welded on. May not make too much sense when robots in a given universe lack certain "functions" or if the robot is male while in construction. Fembots tend to be rarer in fiction, simply because it's easier to design a robotic character that doesn't look distinctly feminine than one that does. It's not enough to add Tertiary Sexual Characteristics or a Breast Plate. The obvious question is "why", when robots don't reproduce sexually; but one can also say "why not", and further "why are genderless machines lumped in with males by default anyway?" When this trope applies to Humongous Mecha instead of robot, they are almost alway piloted by girls. The name comes from the 1970's Bionic Woman and from Austin Powers, though the fembots in those were robot girls. If you're interested, the technical term for these bots is 'gynoid'; same root as 'android', but 'andro' means male. Examples of FemBot include:

  • The term Fembot describes a series of powerful and deadly life-like androids, designed and created by former OSI scientist, Dr. Franklin. The original Dr. Franklin used his fembots to infiltrate the OSI and obtain the Weather Control Device. Despite the fem- prefix, there were also male versions. While not truly artificially intelligent, the fembots still had extremely sophisticated programming and social skills that allowed them to pass for human in most situations. For example, as the fembot Katy demonstrated, they could be programmed to react to heat by perspiring just like a human. Fembots could either be controlled from Franklin's base or preprogrammed for missions in advance. The fembots' default operational setting produced a high pitched transistor hum that Jaime Sommers could hear with her bionic ear. When Dr. Franklin realized this, he immediately reduced the fembots' transistor output, eliminating the hum. The fembots could also be detected because of their extreme weight, over thrice what a similar sized human would weigh. According to Dr. Rudy Wells, this was because "even the brilliant Dr. Franklin has to use steel and gears." Steve Austin once discovered that Oscar Goldman had been replaced by one of Dr. Franklin's robots by tossing a pencil in the path of the robot. When the Oscar robot unwittingly stepped on it, the pencil was crushed into tiny fragments. Fembots are stronger than Jaime's and Steve's bionics. Acccording to Dr. Franklin, his fembots could do anything Jaime could do. Their inability to think for themselves was their primary disadvantage. When the Callahan fembot grabbed Jaime Sommers' bionic arm, Jaime was unable to pull her arm away. When Jaime changed tactics and shoved the Callahan fembot, it was sent hurling through a bookshelf. In "Kill Oscar" part I, Dr. Franklin was shown to be able to increase the fembots' power from the fembot control base. In "Kill Oscar" part II, Dr. Rudy Wells developed a short-range microwave beam device that disrupted Franklin's communication with his robots, preventing Franklin from increasing their power and allowing Steve Austin to cope with the Oscar robot in battle. Fembots' facial covering, or "facemasks," were sometimes dislodged in battle with Steve or Jaime, or otherwise by extreme force, revealing their internal facial circuitry and structure.
