Thought I’d share this young Tom Servo, early in his career, in the epic Vampyros Lesbos (1971) with Ewa Stromberg. It must have been hard for a young, struggling bot to get a start in films, so I guess foreign films offered an easier entry point. I particularly like his ascot! Very trendy and euro-fashionable young bot.

“You’re not my real dad!” implies the bots do, in fact, HAVE a real dad.

There IS one episode where Joe (Mike?) explains robots don’t have birthdays though!

So Tom has a biological parent, but was not born… So he hatched from a robot egg, obviously. PROBLEM SOLVED.

Also, when Crow sees the spider bus robot in Robot Wars he gets super excited and calls it “papa,” but Jonah squelches that.

Where did the bots really come from?

Mayhap Tom Servo has always existed. His eidos just visits select people throughout history to help craft a most perfect physical form.
