I miss the good old days when it was just good fun to be a childhood terrorist with a robot death machine :(

You know what was probably the best thing about this toy? When you picked it up and looked underneath it, it said made in the U.S.A.

America's answer to Japan's version of Tetsujin 28-go and that little boy hopes that his counterpart, Shotaro Kaneda is not up to the challenge.

@DUSTYBASS TheGreat Garloo was mine and the Robot Commando was my little brother`s!We still have them both ,in the original boxes,only because they had to remain at my Grandma`s house(that was the stipulation!!!!! Good thing, too!LOL!

@bukster1 I had one of these. The voice command was nothing more than switch that activated (via vibration from your voice) what ever command was set on the congtroller. So if you set the controller to "Fire Rocket), then yelled into the wired remote it would execute the command.Primative by today's standards.
Too bad the robot sounds aren't heard in the commercial. It made an ominous beeping sound. Well...ominous for a 6 year old in the 60's.

Remember this to and ma said no! She claimed she voted Republican but was Catholic and thought "if we all prayed for peace russia would change" me I wanted to NUKE THE BASTARDS! Anyway never got this cool robot but managed to have a good size military force of plastic tanks and "ground pounders" and plastic jet fighters.
My Italian Greyhound's eyes do the same thing the Robot does, at times when in the backseat of the car and have to let her sit on my lap while driving...then she's ok.

Heck I had one........dang
Remember kids, when you see a 6-story tall robot knocking down buildings, stomping tanks, flinging missiles, and shooting down aircraft, "He's here to HELP you!"

So how did the remote work? It couldn't have had speech recognition back then.
