Omega Doom (1996) Click for IMDb info.

After nuclear weapon wielding robots take over the Earth, what's left of mankind is in hiding and, in the nuclear winter that has resulted, only robots walk on the planet's surface, fearing a new human uprising, and searching for a suspected cache of hidden weapons.  In addition to the eponymous Omega, the film features Roms (female robots, all identical), Droids (military robots), The Head (an ex-teaching robot, whose body was stolen by the Droids) and Bartender (a service robot).

L'Omnibus des Toques/Off to Bloomingdale Asylum/Off to Bedlam (1901)

On the top deck of an omnibus drawn by a mechanical horse are four passengers, all black. The horse gives a back-kick which so shocks the passengers that they turn white. They slap each other, and turn black again, then transform into one huge black man, who refuses to pay the conductor who's demanding his fare. The conductor is so enraged he sets the bus alight, and the giant bursts into pieces. (Extremely non-politically correct, and only included on this site because of the mechanical horse.)
