Number 5 was designed by Dr. Newton Crosby and his partner Benjamin Jahrvi (pronounced Jahveri), and was constructed by Nova Laboratories Inc., Robotics Division, along with four other prototypes, the first called Karl Stefanovic, as technology demonstrators for the United States Department of Defense (DoD). Nova proposed that the design could be used as a robotic soldier and as an intelligent delivery system for nuclear weapons. The design was marketed to the DoD as S-A-I-N-T (Strategic-Artificially-Intelligent-Nuclear-Transport).

Listed below are some facts about Johnny 5:

• His monetary value before being brought to life is US$11,002,076.17
• His mass is approximately 700 lb (318 kg).
• His casing is made of a magnesium alloy
• His robotic arms are strong enough to crush a large block of ice. In one scene when threatened with a Colt .45 semi-automatic he snatches it from the Nova driver and crushes it, stating that it's like "Play-Doh". They are highly articulated and have enough manual dexterity for Johnny to mix drinks, read books, drive, operate electrical equipment such as car radios and carry out repairs on himself.
• He is equipped with a laser weapon, which can only be enabled or disabled manually at a facility at Nova Robotics. Whenever he activates it, his robotic lens 'eyes' normally first go blood red. The lens 'eyes' go the same color red when he "becomes" aroused or enraged.
• In addition to a pair of robot arms and the laser weapon, he comes equipped with a utility toolarm, a sort of robotic Swiss Army Knife. Tools on the arm include, but are not necessarily limited to, a small manipulator claw, a rotor device, a soldering iron, a small welding device, lock pick, screwdriver and drill.
• His head contains most of his sensory apparatus. In addition to stereoscopic cameras with spectral-analyzers he is also equipped with touch sensors, standard and high-powered microphones, a device that can be used to operate equipment by remote control and an antenna that can be deployed, presumably as some kind of radio sensing device.
• He can read and is able to absorb vast amounts of written information extremely quickly, being able to scan an encyclopedia volume in a matter of seconds. He also has an encyclopedia of various firearms and weapons or modes of transport and can instantly recognize what type they are from even a distant glance.
• On his caterpillar treads he can travel up to 30 miles per hour under his own power.

Modifications for Short Circuit 2

Johnny 5 was modified in several areas in between the events of Short Circuit and those of Short Circuit 2. Listed below are some facts about Johnny 5's modifications for Short Circuit 2

• As he has no desire to kill, Johnny 5 has removed his laser weapon and fitted a swiss army knife-like toolbox to its original mount, called a "utility pack". It contains miscellaneous pieces of equipment such as a Polaroid camera, a plasma cutting-torch, an umbrella, and a magnetic grappler on a length of steel cable.
• A more practical hang glider has replaced his standard-issue parachute.
• His original portable power source has been replaced with a lithium-argon liquid battery which can provide enough power for 500 hours of operation. This is supplemented with an emergency backup battery with an unknown capacity, but not much more than a couple of hours.
• He has been fitted with a multi-frequency remote control which can operate almost any electrical device, and can control several devices at once.
• His memory capacity has been increased to 512 megabytes "online", implying that this is his RAM capacity. Whether he has any alternate data storage devices such as a hard drive is unknown (Note that at the time of the movie, 512Mb of RAM was several orders of magnitudes more than what could be found in a typical personal computer).
• His robot arms have been apparently replaced with new models that look significantly different. He has enough strength in his arms to hoist a family car into the air and bend steel bars. Whether he was able to do this with his old arms is unknown.
• He has been decorated with numerous stickers, including Greenpeace slogans and Nike logos.
• In addition to the red lights in his eyes that activate when he is upset or angered, his eyes house a pair of bright, white spotlights that can light up darkened areas and even help him see at night.
• At the end of the movie he has been given new golden plating in the place of his old silver plating.

Personality

Johnny 5 astonishes Stephanie Speck with his speed-reading skills

Johnny 5 is very curious and inquisitive with an almost insatiable thirst for "input" of just about any kind, but he is especially fond of books and television. While he started life as a military prototype he has a great respect for life and refuses to use his capabilities to harm others, even when they have no such compunctions towards him. He is very intelligent and inventive with an encyclopedic knowledge, but can be quite naive and child-like at times and can be too eager to trust people that he shouldn’t. His innocent nature has been taken advantage of on several occasions.

Number 5 in Short Circuit

Prototype Number 5 is struck by lightning

The events of Short Circuit begin with a robotic combat demonstration at Nova Laboratories' test range near the fictional town of Damon, Washington. Members of Congress and military brass have been invited with the aim of securing funding. The S-A-I-N-T field demonstration is cut short by inclement weather and when the prototypes are returned to the lab, one of them is hooked up to a generator for recharging. While the wisdom of doing this in the middle of a thunderstorm is being questioned by one of the technicians, a bolt of lightning strikes the power lines and Number 5 is subjected to a massive power surge before the other technician can disconnect him from the generator. Number 5 survives, apparently undamaged - "it takes a lick and keeps on ticking", and the technicians order the S-A-I-N-T units to go and have their laser weapons disarmed.

Number 5 fails to obey the order and begins behaving erratically, first running into a wall, and then becoming fascinated with a light switch and a dangling power cord that’s being dragged along by another robot. While following this robot, he is rammed by a robotic garbage loader and pushed onto the back of a flatbed refuse truck.

Meanwhile, Number 5’s absence has become apparent and Nova begins searching for him. Dr. Howard Marner, and Captain Skroeder order the facility locked down, but before the order can be carried out the truck is allowed to leave and Number 5 inadvertently escapes from the Nova compound. Shortly thereafter, he is distracted by a butterfly and falls off the back of the refuse truck, tumbles into a pasture by the side of the road, and scatters several frightened cows.

The malfunctioning Number 5 gives erratic and nonsensical responses to commands

Back at Nova, Crosby manages to contact Number 5 via a computer terminal, but gets erratic responses to his commands. When he discovers that nobody has activated the robot’s homing device he does so, and the full extent of the situation becomes apparent: An experimental robot has escaped the lab, is malfunctioning, and its highly destructive laser weapon is still fully armed. When the homing device shows Number 5 moving away from the Nova lab, Dr. Marner panics and suggests destroying the robot before it can attack any civilians it may encounter, but Crosby and Jahrvi convince him that they can contain the robot without destroying it. This is what he orders Skroeder to do, but the aggressively technophobic captain of Nova security instead orders his men to use any means to stop Number 5.

This is interrupted when Stephanie hears weird sounds coming from outside and goes to investigate. She finds Number 5, who has somehow managed to get inside the truck, and mistakes him for an alien. She takes him inside her house and tries to teach him about Earth. When she discovers that he can read she lets him go through her entire collection of books, including an encyclopedia. “Green people” redirects here. ...

Even after reading all of her books, Number 5 is still hungry for input and starts to get increasingly destructive to Stephanie’s property when she can’t provide it, innocently tearing her house apart in an attempt to satisfy his curiosity with his newfound knowledge. In an attempt to placate him she shows him the TV, which seems to calm him down. She is a little disturbed to find him there the next morning, still watching and now imitating what he hears on the television, and decides to show him the Great Outdoors instead.

Stephanie’s dog, Beasly, is spooked by Number 5 and jumps at the robot. Number 5 panics, rolls off the back of Stephanie’s balcony into a chicken coop and is upended. Stephanie spots an identification plaque attached to his undercarriage and realizes that Number 5 is actually a robot. Angered and annoyed at her own stupidity for not realizing, she calls Nova, who inform their personnel of Number 5’s location, including Crosby, Ben and Skroeder. A chicken coop is a building where chickens are kept on a farm or homestead. ...

Number 5 hides in Stephanie's truck for her mobile catering business.

Stephanie explains that Nova are coming to collect Number 5, then they both notice a grasshopper, which Number 5 tries to imitate. He is distracted and accidentally lands on the grasshopper, killing it. He asks Stephanie to "reassemble" it, but Stephanie tells him that the grasshopper is dead and that there is nothing she can do for it. Number 5 makes a connection in his mind between disassembly and death and is horrified to realize that death is the fate that awaits him if Nova’s engineers disassemble him. He panics and steals Stephanie’s lunch wagon in an attempt to escape, but he doesn’t know how to drive and nearly drives himself, Stephanie and the truck off a cliff. When Stephanie asks Number 5 why he is behaving like this, he replies that he is alive and is afraid that he will die if Nova disassemble him.

Crosby and Ben reach Number 5’s location first and Stephanie and Number 5 try to convince them that he is alive, but Number 5 is cut off in mid-sentence by the arrival of Skroeder and his men. The security men open fire on Number 5, who responds by firing warning shots at a number of nearby boats in an attempt to frighten the men off. But Number 5 takes several hits, partially disabling him, and Crosby manages to shut off his primary power. Number 5 is hauled away in the back of a van with Ben and a security guard, with orders not to power down the robot’s main memory.

Number 5 regains consciousness in the back of the van but is mostly paralyzed with his main power turned off. Using a spanner and his upper camera covers, he manages to switch his main power back on. He then effects repairs on himself and replaces his non-functional right arm with a spare he found in the back of the truck. At this point the drivers of the van notice that he is active again and the security guard produces a handgun. Number 5 immediately relieves him of the firearm and destroys it, and Ben and the security guard run in a panic. Number 5 steals their van and drives off, having learned from his mistakes in Stephanie’s van. While driving, he discovers the homing device and removes it, planting it in the back of a passing pickup truck, throwing Nova off the scent for a while.

Back at Nova, Newton Crosby is fascinated by the ingenuity the robot displayed in figuring out the homing device and becomes adamant on the need to capture Number 5 intact. But by this point, Skroeder is making no secret of wanting to destroy the robot, and Dr. Marner is too worried about Nova’s public image to order Skroeder against doing so. He orders Crosby to remain at Nova headquarters and decides to make the escape of Number 5 public knowledge, offering a $25,000 reward for his capture. Stephanie’s slimy ex-boyfriend, Frank, hears this news on television and is determined to get Number 5’s location out of Stephanie. The term ingenuity or applied ideas is used in the analysis of Thomas Homer-Dixon, building on that of Richard Romer, to refer to what is usually called instructional capital. ...

Number 5 returns to Stephanie's house later that evening. Stephanie tries to convince Number 5 that it isn’t safe for him to stay there anymore, but by employing behavior that can only be described as obnoxiously cute, Number 5 wins Stephanie over and convinces her to allow him to stay the night. Stephanie says that they should try and find Number 5 a new home tomorrow, but Number 5 insists that he is home with Stephanie. Puppies are usually considered very cute. ...

Newton Crosby and Ben are worried that if Skroeder destroys Number 5, they will never discover what caused his change in behavior. They steal a van from Nova’s motor pool and go off in search of Number 5.

As Stephanie feared, it wasn’t safe for Number 5 at her house anymore and Frank puts in an appearance while Number 5 is trying (and utterly failing) to prepare breakfast for Stephanie. He tries to bribe Stephanie with a cut of the reward money, but instead Stephanie tricks Frank into revealing his true intentions to Number 5, who then runs.

Frank then knocks Number 5 over using the car's drive shaft as a club, but Stephanie tackles Frank before he can cause any real damage. Frank then turns on Stephanie, but Number 5 intervenes, disarming, then humiliating Frank.

Number 5 believes that he can convince Newton Crosby that he is alive, so Stephanie agrees to meet with him in a nearby bar, the Black Lion Inn. While they are talking, Number 5 is practicing his baseball skills, when Number 1 attacks him. Number 5 retreats to a muddy river and throws some mud at Number 1, blinding him and causing his computer to malfunction. Number 5 shuts Number 1 down, but Number 2 suddenly appears and fires laser blasts at Number 5. He locates a tool shed and grabs some tools. Number 5 leads his brother into the forest where he insults Number 2 by saying “Hey, Laser Lips! Your mama was a snowblower!”. Number 2 gives chase to Number 5, but falls into a rope trap, is hung upside-down, and Number 5 shuts him down. Number 3 then appears, even deadlier. Number 5 grabs a rock and uses it as a shield to defend himself against Number 3's laser blasts. Number 5 runs in reverse at high speed and lures Number 3 towards an outhouse, but then dodges it at the last second, making Number 3 collide with it, after which, Number 5 quotes “Well, when ya gotta go, don't squeeze the charmin”, while talking to the audience.

Johnny 5 tries to convince Newton Crosby that he is alive

Stephanie is livid at Crosby’s apparent duplicity, but Number 5 is still certain he can demonstrate to Crosby that he is alive. In order to avoid any further intervention from Nova, Number 5 kidnaps Crosby and takes him to where he and Stephanie are hiding out. After an exhausting night together during which Number 5 tries to demonstrate his sentience to Crosby, and Crosby tries to prove that it is impossible for Number 5 to be alive, Crosby hits on the idea of telling Number 5 a hilarious joke; “There's a priest and a minister and a rabbi, they're out playing golf, and they're trying to decide how much to give to charity. So the priest says 'Well, we'll draw a circle on the ground, we'll throw the money way up in the air, whatever lands inside the circle, we give to charity'. The minister says 'No! We'll draw a circle on the ground, and throw the money way up in the air, whatever lands outside the circle, that’s what we give to charity'. The rabbi says 'No, no, no! We'll throw the money way up in the air, and whatever God wants, he keeps'!” When Number 5 bursts out laughing at it, Crosby recognizes that the robot has emotions and is, therefore, alive.

Johnny 5 in Short Circuit 2

Ben Jahrvi (called Ben Jabituya in Short Circuit) has lost his job at Nova Robotics for reasons that are not perfectly clear (he was either fired as a scapegoat, quit in disgust as Dr. Newton Crosby did, or Nova went out of business, the latter of which is confirmed to have happened later in the movie), and now he is trying to eke out a living on the streets of New York, selling toy robots in Number 5’s likeness. By a stroke of sheer luck, Sandy Banatoni, a buyer for Simpson's Toy Department, a major department store, finds one of the toys and places an order for 1,000 of them. With the aid of Fred Ritter, a small-time con-man and hawker of fake Rolex watches, Ben sets up a small business to fill the order.

Props

• In the movies, for close-up shots, Johnny 5 becomes a giant hand puppet: His arms are attached to extended metal rods, similar to that of a muppet.
• For distant shots, a version of Johnny 5 was remotely controlled by an actor wearing a Telemetry Suit that sensed his movements and transmitted them to the robot, which mirrored them.
• Some shots used a miniature version of Johnny 5, e.g., when he was being pushed across the Astoria-Megler Bridge by the Nova armored car in Short Circuit. The robot also had a Utility Toolarm, which was used in both films. This had six tools and was electric and air operated.

Trivia

• In both films, Johnny 5's voice is provided by puppeteer Tim Blaney. This casting decision was made due to the director's belief that real-time interaction with the robot prop would make the interaction seem more natural on-screen than if they edited Johnny's voice in during post-production.
• Many of the little tricks done by Johnny 5 onscreen (like flipping through book pages in a blink of the eye and tossing a washer into the air in a mimic of a scene from an old gangster movie he saw) were done using relatively simple, yet ingenious sleight-of-hand prop effects. For instance, the pages were flipped using an air hose, while the washer was flipped using a piece of string at both ends sideways. Not only did this save money for the producers for the actual robot and the screenplay, but they proved remarkably effective in getting just the right look needed for the scenes.
• In Short Circuit 2, Johnny is referred to a couple of times as a giant metal grasshopper, most likely as a nod to the scene in the original movie where Johnny accidentally squashes a grasshopper while imitating its jumping, thus learning about death and life and realizing its own sentience. However, Johnny's body shape is clearly reminiscent of a praying mantis, specifically in the head, long body, and the normal "rest" position of the arms.
• In the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, the episode "Attack of Big MACC", featured a robot from the year 2390 called MACC (Mobile-Armored-Computerized-Combatant). MACC was similar to Johnny 5, could read books as fast he could, disliked violence, and MACC also mistook a video camera for his brother who, oddly enough, was called "Number 5".
• There are robots very similar to Johnny 5 in the waiting area of the ride Star Tours.
• Johnny 5 is voiced by a different person in Hot Cars, Cold Facts, known as Russell Turner. He also had gone back to the usual silver covering as before.
• Made an appearance in the last episode of The Wizard (TV series).
• Johnny 5's arm appears on a table in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Prototype".
• Disney/Pixar's upcoming film WALL-E features a robot that superfically resembles Johnny 5
