Clips like this circulate on soundboards as generic sci-fi stock effects rather than as a line from a specific film or game. The cyber electric robot roar became popular with editors who needed a fast, copyright-light way to signal a digital monster or machine in memes, fan edits and indie games. Its short length and heavy processing make it loop and layer easily over other effects, so it keeps reappearing in robot compilations, boss fight parodies and tech-themed short videos where a traditional animal roar would feel out of place.
