The machine was the scientist's brain. The stitchpunks were his soul. The machine wanted to be human again.

This is the only machine that i heard express anger without talking

This is not a villain, it is the clear image of what war does to people's conscience, applause to the creator of the concept.

What a strange yet interesting villain, we are told it doesn’t have a human soul. Yet it presents human emotions. Anger, frustration, confusion, even inspiration. It’s even shown attachment towards its creator. When the scientist was being taken away by the government officials it clung onto the scientists arm and even attacked the men who took him from it. Loosing someone you care for is definitely a traumatic experience and I think that’s what triggered it to become such a hateful and dangerous creature.

I like to imagine that the fabricator’s entire reason for hunting the stitchpunks was so it could put the scientist back together, it wanted its father back, even if it meant killing his final 9 creations

This is a pretty terrifying villain. An enigmatic, ancient (by the stitchpunks standards), giant, metal monster with multiple clawed limbs protruding from its form that can make armies of long lasting monsters from random junk and scrap laying around, that was responsible for the destruction of mankind and the beast that was haunting the stitchpunks for years before 9 showed up. This would be a terrifying villain even outside of 9.

So for people who don't know in the artist notes it was explained that the reason why Fabrication Machine was trying to seek all pieces of other souls(=all ragdolls) was to unify together since it was left out so long and was feeling lonely, looking for the sign of its creator for its comfort and that in the scrapped ending 9's soul actually gets sucked in to the Fabrication Machine and meets its artificial soul to find out that the Machine was actually "0", their older brother made by the same creator but the idea got scrapped.

I love the things "Oh, shit." reaction right at 2:29. The people behind the movie did a really good job of making a non-speaking character really expressive.

The machine was a scared child and after what the chancellor did the machine became warped and twisted into a monster to make what he sought......engines of destruction and death. It’s no wonder why it betrayed him......still I feel sad of what happened to it even though it’s actions are unforgivable.

1:06 when I saw this scene, I knew the Fabrication Machine was capable of making things out of more than just what humans provided for it.

This machine bears a heavy resemblance to A.M. from the novel, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. In its infancy, the Machine was seized by the Chancellor and imprisoned into a body it never wanted; burdened with a task it never wanted. And much like AM, it grew to house unspeakable and unthinkable hatred for humanity, hated how it was made solely to destroy, hated everything

Call me crazy but I swear when the machine gets shot by the howitzer and tangled in the wires during the climax, it cries out in agony. A machine that understands physical pain, that's equal parts intriguing and heartbreaking.

Oh man, I remember this movie, and just hearing the sounds the Fabricator made when expressing anger actually shocked me when I was younger. To this day I still love this movie and how creepy the whole thing is.

I sympathize with it's past and feel sorry for it and it scares the fuck outta me. What a great villain. And it doesn't say a single word yet expresses a lot of emotion. Cool

1:51 I love these humanizing moments for the machine, it shows how similar it is to the scientist

1:06 When you mix legos with other materials in a build.

Imagine this thing walking towards you in a desolate area.

2:30 THE HANDS IS DOING THE "👉👈" LMAO HAHAHAHA (pd: This machine is the best villain of my life Lol)

What really gets me is its housing. It's a fantastic way to show some emotion on the character, but functionally speaking... a harness that zaps upon the perception of failure & anger... Undoubtedly, it was tortured & punished through negative behavioral enforcement, and it was molded into designing killing machines, but we don't even really know what it was trying to do as its final act, having revenged its interpreted abusers.

i love the detail when it gets damaged, for example when it gets hit by the artillery theres a gaping hole in the frame and the metal around the eye gets torn off in sections, the way it moves is also very nice. its like it wasnt made to but it improvised as it drags its frame along the floor

I like how despite being a machine it shows varied emotion. Anger, curiosity, confusion, creativity, frustration, pride and even fear.

I love how this character doesn't have voice or face, but still expresses more emotions, than I could've ever expected

I’ve always wondered how big the fabrication machine is, besides that..This movie was my childhood!

What I love most about this movie is (obviously) this robot as the antagonist. As a young child, 9 was my first proper introduction to artificial intelligence. I knew this robot well before more popular AI in media such as Glados and HAL 9000. This robot scared me as kid not because it had sinister and unknown intentions like HAL, but because I understood what it wanted. I understood it's frustrations, and its seething hatred of humanity... Amazing movie.

4:31 I love how the machine turns around and blinks it makes it seem so much more human

3:43 The machine only want stay with your creator...

I noticed that when BRAIN was being transferred into the Fabrication Machine, I think I heard it, crying?

1:51 when a random person gives me a one dollar bill, but it’s just a green piece of paper

This is scarier than today's horror movie charcters.

When you think about it, this is basically Elijah Wood facing ANOTHER giant malevolent eye...

3:54 I loved how the machine snapped that soldier's neck.

This thing scared the crap out of me back then and still gives me the creeps.

A machine that makes other machines in it's own likeness! How fascinating!

I remember seeing this movie when I was younger over someone’s house but I never remembered it until I found a recent video which referenced it and I recognized the character design and looked to find what the movie was.

To think it can make machines out of garbage , bones and corpuses is disturbing but this movie is awesome

Seriously there's no competition between this machine and the Autopilot from Wall-E The fabrication machine wins by a mile.

it doesn't have a face or a voice yet shows more humanity than most humans

Observation: machine was curious and seemed innocent before being entombed in the Dictators war chassis. It even seemed overwhelmed and afraid as it was first slotted inside. Analysis: the machine was an empty vessel. It was a baby without morals. Just as the dolls had minds to go with the fragments they were given (nascent minds that quickly learned) the machine had a soul that quickly grew... and was poisoned-infected by the orders of death and destruction it was given. Hypothesis: It seeks to assimilate the dolls because they were born with a soul as their primary substance, as opposed to how the machine had a mind as its primary substance. If the machine can experience spiritual anguish, I believe thats what most of its life was... and assimilating an already existent spirit would have potentially rectified that.

By far one of my favorite robotic villains in fiction, alongside Venjix and Ultron.

I dunno, i sympathize with the machine much more then any other Character... It feels like its the most humann character, its a creature that wants to create things but is only toght how to build things that destroy. And does anybody know why it absorbs the souls of the Puppets? It looks like it wants to use them or preserve them, either to become more human itself, or just to be closer to its creator, or maybe its goal is to recreate humanity in reality? Is there something about this you can read up?

Okay so my theory is that, because the machine had a spot for the "talisman" the scientist also wanted to add a piece of his soul to it, and because the other stichpunks' soul fragments had already settled, the machine still couldn't have a soul of their own, the souls refused to conform to them, and stayed individual pieces, hence the phrase "they're trapped"

1:34 this is my favorite scene

Fabricator is like, ok yall destroyed my house, now I'll destroy you, what ever it takes

When i get terminal cancer, I want my brain to be put in something like this

One of my most favorite movie antagonists of all time.

Bad news: 1’s voice actor Christopher Plummer has passed away, RIP

1:41 the lightning on her head and the way she looks down at the man recording her...you can really tell she HATES the ones who did that to her.

Surprisingly, this movie age quite well

I've had a feeling this machine is quite similar as the Dalek Prime Emperor. Also I have expressed such pity to it and to other people who have suffered.

I love the fact that the films intent wasn’t to paint the machine in an evil light, although being the main antagonist of the movie. It’s just interesting how such a thing could be so bad and yet not inherently evil either.

Omg! It's been almost a year since I've watched this movie! Have to watch it again. Great Video btw!

1:34 Brain: They are shaping me into something gaudy something lethal... Remember: "A machine is not as scary as the one who programs it, and there is always a person behind the machine"

I'd like to think that the machine wasn't hunting the stitchpunks for their souls but was trying to reunite with its creator by making him "whole" again since each of the stitches contains a fragment of the scientist's soul.

1:05 me when I was 8 year old building Lego creations

I swear that the artillery gun at 4:19 reminds me so much of a Earthshaker cannon from Warhammer 40k.

I can't help but see a child in the "villain". It kinda acts that way. I wouldn't have mind it if it would have won.

You know after analyzing this moive. I just realized how this world takes place post WW2, however, it takes place in a time line where the Germans won. Like look at the helmets the soldiers are wearing in the scene where they seize the robot, and the uniform the chancellor wears. Not to mention the banners are eerily similar to the N@zi banners. Also the design of the walkers look German. Thank you for reading.

This Is One Of My Favorite Types Of Villains

I miss when movies were this good

God i love this movie as a kid I really miss 2009 alot

OH.............God almighty, heck to the “NO” But thanks for this compilation, very well done

This is the only movie caracter I want to build out of legos that I dont have the parts for Yes it's in progress no it will not be done for awhile

There will not come a day when I am not salty over how they butchered the DVD cut of this movie. If you were lucky to see the theatrical version you'll know how many scenes they changed. The original cut of this movie was beauitful.

A movie of the scientist and the machine's past story would be a good idea

So let me get this straight. This machine want to become human by stealing the dolls souls. That's its main goal? At first I thought it was a villain that wanted to become powerful and smarter by stealing the dolls souls.

Me just liking how 5 is hugging 9 scaredly

This is truly the most epic funny compilation of all time.

So much Soul behind something with no face or voice

This villain really reminds of JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and his views of modernization and industry. He was a man who grew up in the countryside and saw firsthand the effect of technological progress and how it uprooted ways of life. Progress in this context not necessarily being a positive here. Tolkien saw that. Remember in LOTR what defines Sauron and his underlings. Black smoke. Endless fire and forges. Pollution and desolation all committed in the name of the unending need of the machine of war. Sauron and his forces are technically the most progressive society in middle earth with their industrial capacity. But they’re hellbent on conquering it. In the movie, the scientist says how he put all his intellect into this creature but never gave it a soul. And that’s the sad nature of the machine. It doesn’t need morality or a conscience. It just needs to be fed to keep going and fulfilling whatever it’s purpose. Without a soul, all that’s left is desire and hatred. I’m rambling. Hope you enjoyed my nonsense.

Poor robodude He just wanted to build things for his scientist buddy

Well. let's look at the machine's point of view, and also analyze my opinion about what I think about it: I think that the machine is not a true villain, let's remember ONE thing, machines, robots and etc. one, and able to learn the concept, but they are not born knowing that, they just follow what they are programmed to follow, that goes for most of the machines we create today and also what is presented in the movies, that's what I imagined as I watched all the movies that involved artificial intelligences that went rogue. Now looking at the history of THIS machine in particular, it had the conscience of the scientist who created it, it was a copy, but it didn't have his soul, let's say that the soul was his humanity, that's why she showed no remorse when revolting against humanity, she saw no sense in not exterminating it, when she saw that humanity was easily massacred by her creations, she took the lead, but was disconnected, but left some traces around the world to find what interested her, what made her complete, the soul of its creator. The machine was specifically after the puppets to be human again, and perhaps, recreate humanity again, because with the soul and conscience, it would have everything to become human, and during the film, we can see that it demonstrates a type of personality ,she has anger and sadness, she even blinks, machines don't have eyes and don't need to blink, but she blinks for some reason, and that reason is: why does she have human consciousness, and something she does naturally without knowing, about your actions? I can't say if they are forgivable or not, because she did what she thought best, she was taken from her creator and used for war purposes, she was practically a child. Well, some parts of this theory I got from Brazilian channels, I hope you liked it.

A new age they said. an age of peace they said.

2:25 machine roars

I think people forget that yes, to their standards, that thing is huge, but in reality it's not it's probably about up to the average ceiling including the "limbs" that come above it, which yeah, is big, but not as big as it seems to them

He is gonna be the angry birds movie 3 main villain But bigger, different, and can talks

0:36-0:43 That is scary as all hell. No cap…

I wish I had a friend like this, exept I want it to have free will.

I FOUND IT! I've been searching for this movie for years my memory is blurry cuz I've watched this movie when I was a kid and now I saw this!

I know this movie is old and all, but imagine if the machine had been satisfied with the stitchpunks it had caltured and retreated to rebuild itself into a more mobile machine. Imagine how unstoppable it would be, not being confined to its solitary prison and roaming the country, building other machines as it went.

1:03 1:33 who else wants this music to be a soundtrack while building Legos say aye ✋ 😔

2:24 i like how the machine was actually trying to get one of its Steel Behemoth's back online here

2:23 this Machine has a big ego

The BRAIN Starro 🤝 Giant cyclops who turned into monsters after being used the a corrupted government

Does anyone have any idea what would have happened if the machine had reclaimed the soul in full?

Technically,it didnt brake the first law of robots,it made other robots kill for it,so it did nothing wrong

I love this machine's design. It have this very creative side comine out of it.

Pov: you play minecraft and there about 5 villages nearby

i guess you could say the machine was a tragic villian

One of the darkest animated movies ever made.

Scary dude, but goddamn, is it rad lookin'!

You have GOT to cut the full clip of the 1, 7, 3 & 4 using the Howitzer. That was the coolest scene of the whole movie

we are alike because we both love 9 and on my channel I am going to make my own 9 series with new characters like 10 and 14 which are my original characters and make more machines like the cage bat which is a machine with wings,arms and a string connected to a cage so it can capture the dolls

That could be glados's better boyfriend unlike weatley from portal

After watching this movie I’m scared as hell of robots

Как я себя представляю, когда ищу недостающую детальку LEGO среди остальных: 0:25

I have one question about brain (the fabrication machine) we saw for a moment it was building a steel behemoth but it was unfinished and destroyed. I know it was not being built to hunt the stitch punks since it's too big and can easily be hidden from. Does it share the same purpose as the spider bots where they were meant to populate the earth and create a new ecosystem according to the wiki or was it being built since there are humans still possibly out there which was it's original purpose to exterminate them.

ah yes, my favorite portal 2 character

the machine looks like an even more nightmarish version of the handling machine from war of the worlds. not to mention the sounds it makes.

9 definitely was a movie of its time, it was scary because the machine won by killing off humanity but lost to well... from a pov itself given it was created by the brain of the scientist and 9 created by a piece of his soul. So in a way it was beaten by its own

I LOVE 9
