I assume you mean "Box" (played by Roscoe Lee Browne), from the ice sculpture sequence, in Logan's Run? If so, I'd have to add that one to the list, as I've always been particularly fond of him/it (it's a cyborg, really, as I recall)... and Jerry Goldsmith's musical rendition for him is especially memorable, I think.

As for the one in Saturn 5... beautiful looking... but thoroughly impractical, considering the story -- too easily damaged, and with all the exposed hydraulic tubing, it could have been put out of commission too quickly to have become the menace it is supposed to be. It did look neat, though....
