The question of which machine is deadliest of all-time has already been answered—but it’s the bonus round that will prove to be the most exciting matchup. Who would win in a battle between Wall-E and Johnny 5?
Yeah, it’s kind of like pitting a puppy vs a toddler…but I digress.
This tournament poll of the world’s deadliest robots was proposed to us by our friend PW Singer, author of Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century which we covered last March. Stay tuned for more scary-arse robots wreaking havoc on fleshy humans and metallic adversaries alike.

Admittedly Johny 5 was originally a military model. Wall E has way more years under his belt and experience at self repair, he lacks aggressiveness though.
