Like somebody who wants to be a robot and maybe controls robots?
Like maybe he has tons of cheap small but moderately effective robots to do his evil bidding?
Like maybe he plants to take over the world and turn everyone else into robots? Or kill them all trying?
OHH!! or maybe he's working on super robots! Robots that ARENT small, weak, and disposable! Maybe he's in the process of figuring that out and the heroes have to foil his plot!

Have you ever had a villain like that?

OHHH! GUYS! GUYS GUYS!!
Have you ever let your PC's run a rigger? or a controller?
How did that work out for your campaign?

In addition to the ones provided in the books (like Archie and aliens at New Town) I have used a few.
- One villain was creating robot bodies and downloading them with really evil people for minions.
- Another was a part of a quartet of bad guys and he had robots to augment a magical army
- I have had several NPCs (evil, good and in the middle) who were "awakened" robots from CS, Triax, Archie, major cosmetics company and they usually provided an interesting opportunity or three
- My favorite was a hacker that discovered a flaw in skelebot programing that wanted you use them against Xiticix. The problem was it stirred up the hive sending them towards several small communities that were going to be devoured

Robots are really no different then any other minion it just comes down to how interesting the big bad is

Not sure what these are? Which books are they in?

Smiling_Bandit - Also suggested a cannibalistic old woman from the Canada book

That is...interesting? Yeah that's the word.
