The Armatron robot arm is one of the coolest toys every made. Put out by Radio Shack the robot is operated via a couple of levers on the base. Came with all kinds of accessories to pick up and move around. The toy was made by Tomy and later versions showed this name on the box. Here is an original Armatron, a Mobile Armatron, and a knock-off (which I think is better) by Spectravideo. I scanned the Armatron instruction manual in case anyone wants to read it.
Other robots in my collection: Big Max by Remco, Thing Ding by Schaper, and of course the B9 Robot I was at one time attempting to build.
