Robby the Robot from LOST IN SPACE.

Bob May's passing is a real shame.

And less than a week after the deaths of Patrick McGoohan & Ricardo Montalban.

 

[Kryton]

The B-9 Robot was NEVER called Robby.

You're right Kryton, the B-9 robot, was NEVER called Robby on LIS anyway, looks very much like Robby the Robot from “Forbidden Planet” (& countless other shows/films).

Same designer for RtR & B-9 it turns out.

I mistakenly thought they were the same robot. They look & seem & are so alike.

I looked it up just now.

Regardless, like the passing of Montalban & McGoohan, May's passing is also a shame.

Number 6, Khan & the B-9 are all Scif-Icons.

B-9. Name of Data's clone in the last ST:TNG film. See why they named him that now.

Robby DID guest star on LiS at least once that I recall.

Your reccollection is correct. He also appeared in an episode of Ark2 iirc.
