Robot Commando (Ideal-1961-20"s tall)



Groovy Feature- The Robot Commando had a "voice-activated control", pretty neat for 1961. You turned the knob on the control to what you wanted it to do, then spoke the command into the microphone-like controller. Except that what you really did was blow into it until the metal flaps moved and completed the circuit. So yeah, it was lame in that respect. But as I said, pretty neat for 1961.



the 'Robot Commando' can move in forward and reverse, turn, throw plastic balls from each arm, and fire a missle from a launcher under the hatch atop the head. And his eyes spin whend he's running.

Okay, I'm about to blaspheme here. I never really found Robot Commando to be very aesthetically pleasing. He has a very awkward "design follows function" feel to him.

Never the less, he's a robot and all robots need our love! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Sorry about that doods, I was extremely busy yesterday, and just didn't get a chance. If I could have, I would have contacted someone to cover for me.

Looking for something right now, for today. [img]smile.gif[/img]

btw, Micro/tapes/etc away, no DC#, as it was light enough not to go priority.
