Characters (Loved trope) Thar robot doesn't have the right to be that hot

SCORPIO - Star Wars

Elesh Norn - Magic The Gathering

Wagon - Toqger

And i'm talking about robots that actually look like robots. Not "androids" with perfectly human looks.

Total sidebar but anytime I see someone reference Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars (2003) I'm morally obligated by my 8 year old self to mention how fucking rad the BARC Lancer Batallion was

The whole battle of Muunlist was rad. I loved Ventress' starfighter and the Arc Troopers.

This entire show is just rad. However much I love the 3d animated clone wars that I kept up with as a kid the Tartakovsky show is just peak Star Wars. I didn’t get to see it on tv but I had the dvd and it was awesome. I wish we got more of it

He's just showing off his new gold plating. As for why he's doing it coquettishly, that's an outstanding question with no clear answer.

C3PO has to be sent undercover as a "companion bot" (sex robot but only hinted at because it's a kinds cartoon) with Padame to basically lure Councillor Wiebwab while she steals some documents or something to prove she's a Separatist. This is another adult directed joke that implies he got a tit job to look like a girl robot. (He only had is voice changed and has a smoother front panel to easier hide the data disk they want to get)

I thought he just got his gold paint coat (since he was silver last we saw him)

His parts are no longer showing. Now it's like he's wearing lingerie.

Padmé’s having a laugh, but Anakin is into it.
