Oops!:oops: Sorry everyone.I just found out that the reason that the above picture looks like an exact copy of 80s Robot is because that IS a concept photo from Legacy Effects,who made him, and not an 80s toy.Sorry again for the confusion.The photo looked to me that it was from a toy catalogue.:crazy:

I hear something about a Nintendo robot...
Muppet Wiki says Nintendo ROB is the closest resemblance.Here he is:

The head matches, but overall, I think the Tomy omnibot 2000 is.Maybe I will get both and swap heads.I hope official merchandise comes out.

Definately an Omnibot 2000. There was an entire series of these things in the 80s. Spotbot, Hootbot, Crackbot, Dingbot and Flipbot. 80's Robot looks a heck of a lot like the bots in this line. I know way too myuch about old robot toys.
