The one that you didn't name standing beside B.E.N. is Carl from Meet the Robinsons.

Can't quite recall the last one...  I'm pretty sure it's from one of the classic shorts.

I knew I've seen the robot boxer before...

He's from the 1933 short "Mickey's Mechanical Man."  Definitely the most obscure of the characters featured.

Hmm...   I wonder...   Would Disney Robots be a hint at the next character-based franchise?  (Doubtful...   but, who knows?)

Thanks Boojum!  Should have gotten Carl but all I could think of was the 'Robots' movie.  And I figured as you did the other was from an old short (the look is classic B&W animation) but I appreciate your research!  Here is another collection of video/movie robots that include some of our Disney faves: http://www.chopshopstore.com/product.php?productid=16186

Nice shirt...

I think I can only name about 24 of those immediately!

Though, not sure why Tin Woodman would be on the shirt -- he may be made of Tin, but he *did* use to be human.   Not so sure I'd count something made by magic as a Robot.
