Anyone else old enough to remember Short Circuit? A 1986 family comedy about a military drone turned into a mechanised hipster by a lightening strike, Frankenstein style. The 1988 follow-up was one of those rare sequels that's as good as the original, if not better.
In hindsight, Neill Blomkamp's Chappy (2015) borrows as heavily from Short Circuit as it does from the Robocop franchise. All 3 are coming of age stories for sentient robots.
