The Buffybot App. #6: "Vampires of the night beware!"
Buffy-Bot : Exact likeness of teenager Buffy Anne Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) on the occult action drama BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER/WB/UPN/1997-2003. On the episode "I Was Made to Love You," a beautiful young teenager wandered about the town of Sunnydale looking for her boyfriend. She was very intense and quite physical to anyone interfering with her quest. The girl, identified as April (Shanda Farr) turned out to be a robot created by a genius nerd named Warren (Adam Busch) who wanted to design the perfect girlfriend. When the robot didn't live up to his expectations [and he fell in love with a "real" girl], Warren abandoned the robot. But April was programmed for total love and devotion and so she set out to find her master. At the end of the episode, the girl robot was decommissioned but not before a vampire named Spike (James Marsters) conspired to replicate the girl of his dreams, namely, Buffy Anne Summers. Finding the inventor of the robot, Spike threatened him with death if he didn't come across with a "Buffy-Bot." On episode "Intervention," the Buffy-Bot made her debut and was mistaken as the real Buffy until one night her close friends happened upon a grave yard and saw Buffy straddling Spike and crying out "Oh Spike, you're the Big Bad, You're the Big Bad!" Soon, Buffy's friends, a.k.a. "The Scooby Gang" discovered that the girl they had seen boinking Spike was actually a replicant. After all, the real Buffy hated Spike's gut (at the time) and would never have done the on-top vertical bop with "said" vampire. (Now, Angel that's a different story). When Buffy realized that Spike had taken privileges with an ersatz persona, she informed him in no uncertain terms and a slap in the face to cease and desist with his yucky activities. The Buffy-bot was soon put out of commission until she returned on episode "The Gift" to help Buffy battle a dimensional disaster that threatened to end order in the universe. The Buffy-Bot met her end in the episode "Bargaining" when a group of demon bikers invaded Sunnydale thinking the real Buffy Summers had died. When they came across the Buffy-Bot they quickly subdued her and then strapped her limbs to motorcycles, started them up, and went medieval on her with a good old-fashioned drawing and quartering. So ended the life of the Buffy-Bot. Of course, the newly resurrected Buffy avenged Buffy-Bot's demise by laying waste to the demons who destroyed her "bot" replica. Willow: Xander, gather up the knock-knock jokes. Buffybot: Ooh! Who's there? Xander: You know, if we want to be exactly sure... Spike: [interrupting] It'll never be exactly. Xander: I know. Tara: The only really real Buffy is Buffy. Giles: And she's gone. Buffybot: You know if we want to be exactly sure it'll never be exactly I know the only really real Buffy is Buffy and she's gone who? __________________

I love those arts in the OP.
I am still amazed that the BtVS writers actually created a storyline involving Spike comissioning Warren to build him a robotic girlfriend/sex buddy in the guise of Buffy. __________________

It seems more like something a fan fiction writer would come up with. Actually creating a Robot Buffy for Spike to have sex with. Actually showing the Buffybot straddling him in the cemetary while yelling "you're the big bad".

That's true. But it does seem like a Spike thing to do doesn't it?

Yeah, but can you imagine the writers sitting down in say season two or three and suggesting such a thing? Now I have Angel's face in my head as he founds out about the Buffy Sex Doll. ha ha

I could see it in S2 with Angelus but then doing that would have made the show go in a whole new direction imo. But I think if he found out about the bot his first priority would be to punch Spike.

I think his second reaction would be to wonder how close it feels/tastes to the real thing.

S5 Angel I can see that... it would be for comedic purposes but idk. I can't really see Angel thinking that for some reason in any other season.

I don't think he would try to date it like Spike did. But the sex thought comparison would definitely cross his mind. Plus the fact that he thought he wasn't allowed to get any and would no doubt realize the curse wouldn't activate by doing a robot.
