The beautiful thing about serials is that they encapsulate one of the oddities about robots that they shared with lasers and the early PCs; that they are a solution in search of a problem.  Sure, they look cool and are, supposedly, immensely strong, but what do you actually do with them aside from serve drinks?  

Your average serial robot may be impressive to look at and can lumber with the best of them, but it usually spends most of its screen time hanging around rusting while their evil masters drums their fingers and scowl with frustration.  "All that money and this damn thing can't even balance my cheque book."
