Twiki - Diminutive silver robot on the sci-fi series BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY/NBC/1979-81. Twiki (TWKE-4) was one of thousands of robotic servant drones called Ambuquads (No. 2223-T) specially designed to assist humans. Captain Buck Rogers (Gil Gerard), a 20th century astronaut stranded 500 years in the future adopted one of these drones, called him Twiki and augmented his programming with personality traits of a 20th century person, thus insuring that Buck had something familiar near him to remind him of his past. Felix Silla, a three-foot actor donned a seven-piece robot suit to become Buck's companion/sidekick. When Twiki talked (voice of Mel Blanc/Bob Elyea) he sounded like an electrical Porky Pig with a "Beeda-Beeda" noise emitted from his voice box. Tina (Patty Maloney), a gold-plated Ambuquad who fell in love with Twiki while on board a pleasure cruiser, made "Booti-Booti" exclamations. Twiki also carried a round robot brain called Dr. Theopolis about his chest (Eric Server). See also - "Crichton"
