Bender: Gold or Silver?

[on:]

What would you rather have Bender look like, Gold or Silver?

[Reply #1 on:]

Magenta.

[Reply #2 on:]

Good choice (i wonder what that would look like)

[Reply #3 on:]

What about wooden?

[Reply #4 on:]

Wooden was my favourite, for sure. I'd like to have seen him with the steam engine on his back though (as seen in Dan Vebber's original desgin, apparently).

[Reply #5 on:]

Silver.

How else could we have "Bite my shiny metal ass?"

[Reply #6 on:]

well, thats not a color, but you could say a "wooden type color"

[Reply #7 on:]

Silver indeed. He'd be all shiny. I wonder what he'd look like gold? ....[remember "Parabox"] Oh, right...

[Reply #8 on:]

Gotta go with the classic silver.

[Reply #9 on:]

well, i dont know....

[Reply #10 on:]

I'd say silver, but I also liked the wooden Bender.

Er, why have you created two polls that essentially ask the same question?

[Reply #12 on:]

"Bite my glorious, golden ass!" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

[Reply #13 on:]

gold! bender deserves to be gold. bender would want to be gold.

[Reply #14 on:]

Gold Bender was just so awesome. I would prefer him with that finish.

[Reply #15 on:]

and anyway, since when has bender been silver??? he's grey, not silver.

[Reply #16 on:]

Foghat grey no less...

"That explains fruity over here!"

Gold is also shiny metal, right?

Bender doesn't really care- hence the cointoss.

Silver it is! Golden robots are in bad taste, kind of vulgar.
And it is true that silver isn't really a color as such, but in normal everyday language, silver is used to describe a greyish metallic shine.

Silver baby!!!!              

[Reply #19 on:]

I'm all for silver. Gold is good as a novelty, but somehow that seems like it would get old fast. It's just too garish.

[Reply #20 on:]

Silver. Gold looks strange, especially on the ol'e silver Bender. Maybe the alternate universe versions of us prefer the gold.

oh, like bender is so refined, right? gold bender would rule. FACT!
 

[Reply #22 on:]

Silver.

[Reply #23 on:]

Go silver! Gold strikes me as a more reighcious and pure color... Bender is a criminal, not a preacherbot!    But Bender isn't exactly silver either...He's foghorn grey!   

edited for my bad spelling...

[Reply #24 on:]

silver ofcourse, tho i did find the glorious golden ass line both hilarious and perfect.

[Reply #25 on:]

though it would be interesting for a wooden or what ever colored nephew or friend of bender to appear in a episode, i have to go with silver

[Reply #26 on:]

Silver of course!

[Reply #27 on:]

Although gold seems to fit with Bender's personality better, I gotta go with silver. It seems far more robot-like, and much less garish.  Plus... I'm used to it.

[Reply #28 on:]

if bender were gold, he'd have a looooooooot of money. buuut....gotta go with so-so silver instead of glorious gold, or shameful bronze....aw gleesh, im talkn' about the simpsons

rupert murdock he is, as bender says[bender] he's a madman, a MAADMAN!!![/BENDER]

[Reply #29 on:]

I voted silver, but I think if Bender was gold for the series and in the FP he was silver we would all vote for gold.

Not that much more.  He wasn't solid gold, just gold plated.

Need I say more?   

[Reply #33 on:]

Foghorn Grey I must say   

[Reply #34 on:]

It's dolomite baby!
If Benders body was not in the colour that it was than his body could not have been made of the confusingly different array of metals it was made of

[Reply #35 on:]

I'd have to say silver, even though i did find that 'glorious golden ass' line damn funny.

[Reply #36 on:]

silver!

Nah, i didn't like wooden Bender, Gold was pretty cool, but Wooden meh.  Or perhaps it was the episode, it was an average ep.

Lisa - Where the MTV Generation we feel neither high's nor lows.
Homer - Really? What's it like?
Lisa - Meh.

[Reply #38 on:]

Silver all the way.

[Reply #39 on:]

Silver, definitely. It's more neutral, so he's easier on the eyes. From the practical side, an all-gold robot would be too soft, and a gold patina would chip with Bender's active lifestyle. Leave the golden finish to the lazier robots, who need to show off their opulence.
