Yep, it's another one of those "Top __ Things" listings. Paste Magazine had done one for the top 40 best robots of all time.
Astro Boy ranked 20th. You can check the list to see the rest, just be cautious of the comments on the site, knowing websites and top listings like these, there's bound to be angry people posting trash. <_<
For the record, Maria from the German Metropolis classic, which inspired Tezuka's own Metropolis, was ranked in 11. And my other favorite robot, Mega Man, got in 35.
Astro is the 20th Best Robot of All Time
In general, I am disappointed with that list. Atom and Doraemon should have been higher on the list. And I don't see why Wall-e should be #1.
I do agree with some of the people that commented on the article. Some very notable robots failed to make the list. And what about C3P-O? You can't have R2-D2 by himself!

God I am freaking sick and tired of hearing all of this crap that Mega Man is a 'copycat'. And to be frank, it is offending.
He was possibly inspired by Astro Boy, but many other things had also inspired the creation and storyline behind the franchise, such as Casshern. I'm just so sick of hearing this.
And for the record, if anyone thinks of Astro Boy's arm cannon and Mega Man's Mega Buster, let me say that Mega's Mega Buster came first.

They only have a few similarities though.
Jetter Mars is more of a 'rip-off' than Mega Man will ever be. Of course we're all entitled to our opinions, but it still irritates me greatly.
