At the dreamlike end of The Black Hole , Reinhardt fuses with the robot Maximillian, appearing to be trapped inside him like a gibbet. What does this mean?

As seen at 1:35 in [this video] the depiction of "hell" in the movie was fairly traditional and Dante-esque, complete with robed figures walking around in rows on paths surrounded by fire. So while I agree Reinhardt wasn't using the shell as a makeshift spacesuit, I think the intention may have been that whatever "Devil" assigns punishments in hell, being sealed inside Max (and maybe merged on some mental level too, as you say) may have been the punishment given to Reinhardt.

This is Disney's The Black Hole [LINK] (1979). The ending with the scientist adrift in a reddish landscape is fairly iconic.
