...for years, I have been searching for the complete & uncut mini-movie rendition of rock band Styx' hit song, "Mr. Roboto"; in the early & golden days of MTV, there was a music video edit of the movie, but after some exhausting research, I found out, soon after, that there was, indeed, a mini feature film of the song, telling the full futuristic story, though the angst eyes & voice of Kilroy.
...thanks to some minimal, well-applied pigeon-Japanese speak, which I picked up during my overseas military tenure, I found out that it was once only available in Japan; on periodic stops over there, I repeatedly confirmed that the film supposedly did exist, but it was either sold out (at the time, on VHS), or outright unavailable, wherever I went.
Numerous times, I threw up my hands in defeat, believing that I would never find it; however, when the subject occasionally rears it's head, I would find myself resuming my sleuth.
...haven't tried Yahoo! Answers yet; can anyone help, please?

here's what i've found! ( only info)
Welcome and Domo Arigato!
This webpage is devoted to all things Roboto. Mr. Roboto was a fictional character created by Dennis DeYoung in 1983's classic Styx concept album Kilroy Was Here and the 1984 mini-movie in Caught In The Act Live. Mr. Roboto, the first single from that album, was a #3 Billboard hit for Styx, and the Roboto character remains an enduring symbol for the band. Mr. Roboto has recently resurfaced in the 2000 Styx tour setlist as well as in DeYoung's solo performance with a symphony orchestra in Chicago. The song was also featured in a recent Volkswagen commercial.

Caught in the Act (Styx album)
Caught in the Act is a live album by Styx, released in 1984). The album contained one new song, "Music Time", which was released as a single, reaching #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
"Caught in the Act" is also the name of a VHS video recording that featured the band acting out the concept established in the Kilroy was Here album.

Good video production of the STYX album, 8 March 2001
Author: Hyyr (Hyyr@aol.com) from North Carolina
Being a fan of the rock group STYX, I really enjoyed their "Kilroy Was Here" album. When I first saw this video production, I was very impressed by the way the group members (who acted in the film) conveyed the "Kilroy" story. This movie accentuates the album, bringing out meaning that I had never actually heard in the music alone.
look here for more. ( see if you could contact the author of the post for more info.)http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0159174/usercomments
Wish I could be of more help man. Good Luck!

The one I liked the best is The Robot from the 1960's tv show Lost in Space. However the Terminator 2 robot comes in at a close 2nd.
