Torg (Robot)
Torg was a robot presented in the 1964 Christmas movie, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians [1]. In the movie, Torg attacks Santa's workshop, and is finally turned into a Christmas toy. It appeared to have been crudely constructed from cardboard, silver paint, glue-on controls, and ducting work for arms. Torg's name has been proposed to derive from an anagram of another robot, "Gort," presented in the 1951 movie The Day the Earth Stood Still [2].
It is also a object of minor cult references from other artists, such as by the electronic group The Laziest Men on Mars.
Torg was named among the five worst movie robots ever created. [3]
