XB-27

I made no secret of the fact that I admired XB-27, the leader of the robots.  But then he launched a devastating attack on us humans.  After many losses, the robots were finally defeated.

I argued for XB-27 to be released, as a peace gesture.  He was set free, but almost immediately attacked us again, burning our cities and laying waste to the land.  Once again, he was finally subdued.

Over my objections, the High Council ordered that XB-27 be dismantled.  But I feel he should be put back together and allowed to explain his actions.  Maybe he could go on a goodwill tour with a few hundred other robots.
