Discuss the wacky crew of side-characters from the repair bay here (not including WALL-E, EVE, or M-O). I think I prefer HAN-S (the masseuse-bot that beats down the Steward Kiosks), PR-T, and VN-GO (say it out loud) the bot that paints everything.

I love how they beeped the same song that came out of Wall-E, was cute.

I think HAN-S was fav tho, specially when attacking the kiosks, that was so surprising to me when I first saw the movie.

Yep. Every time I see the movie him smacking down that last Steward Kiosk gets a huge chuckle from the crowd, both kids and adults.

I think it's so funny when the steward kiosk sees the yellow paint trail on the floor and says "Wrong."

HAN-S was my favorite of the rogues, too. Right before he did the whirlwind through those Stewards, you could almost hear him thinking; "Oh, we need to get through these guys? No problem -- kicking @ss is MY directive!

Yes, the reject bots have grown on me in subsequent viewings too. At first I was like, "oh, no -- not a bunch of throw-away characters!" (no pun intended) But as I've seen the movie more and more, I really have come to see their importance to the story.

Several of them had their own character arcs, such as HAN-S getting to take out his aggression and calming down. Only Pixar would put that much effort into characters that weren't even central to the plot!

PR-T always stands out the most to me. And HAN-S is cool. And that one that's like, constantly hitting a bunch of ping-pong balls or something amuses me.

I liked VAQ-M... I don't know if anyone noticed, but VAQ-M was sucking on Wall-E's binoculars in the scene where Wall-E is watching in horror while Eve receives maintenance, and that just cracks me up
I also liked PR-T for her subtle outburst of "oh my..." everytime the group runs into the steward bots
