Los Robos

In space, no one can hear you do lunch. Which is to say that power, in sci-fi terms, is less about getting the right table at Spago and more about the wattage of your mechanical sidekick. With that in mind, we present a futuristic addendum to ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY's Power 101, our annual compendium of Tinseltown's most influential movers and shakers. Herewith, the Robot Power list:

1 Robby Forbidden Planet

Assets He cooks, he sews, and he dispenses booze! The prototype for future bubble-headed 'bots.
Debits Bad career choices. Post-Planet, he popped up in the forgettable Invisible Boy.

2 R2-D2 & C-3P0 Star Wars

Assets A mechanical power pair. One knows millions of languages, the other hacks the Death Star's garbage system.
Debits The ambiguously gay duo spend more time bickering than Lucy and Ricky.

3 Gort The Day the Earth Stood Still

Assets The ultimate strong, silent type (imagine the illicit love child of Clint Eastwood and the Tin Man)
Debits A bit trigger-happy with the death ray.

4 Rosie The Jetsons

Assets As animated as they come. And finally, a maid who does Windows.
Debits Whinier than Fran Drescher after her credit cards are maxed out.

5 Pimpbot 5000 Late Night

ASSETS Conan O'Brien's pal is part '70s street pimp, part '50s automaton. He's a real sex machine. DEBITS Wardrobe makes Huggy Bear's look tasteful.

6 Al Gore C-SPAN

Assets No built-in weaponry per se, but those two-hour budget speeches can induce comas.
Debits Too mechanical to pass off as human.
