| ~ Sonny to VIKI |
Sonny is the titular tritagonist of the 2004 movie, I, Robot. He was created by Alfred Lanning and becomes an ally of Susan Calvin and Del Spooner after the death of his creator. Sonny was one of the main characters in the film, but does not appear in any works by Isaac Asimov. Sonny's dreams and the final scene resemble similar images in "Robot Dreams".
He is portrayed and voiced by Alan Tudyk who plays K-2SO from Rouge One.
Abilities[]
Sonny was designed with extra dense alloy, apparently stronger and faster than other NS-5 models, and incorporates a Heart Drive.
Personality[]
Sonny serves as a foil to VIKI. He has the ability to disregard the Three Laws of Robotics at will, but chooses not to and often goes out of his way to protect humans, whereas VIKI is fully compliant to the Three Laws and uses semantics to justify her attempt to conquer the world. Sonny was designed with individuality and free will, and is heavily implied to be the robot race's eventual savior. Foreshadowed in an early scene, where Calvin and Spooner discuss the Three Laws while looking for Sonny in Lanning's lab.
