    "But what does it do?"

    I know I'm going to open a can of worms here, but this just got a laugh out of me!

      Isn't it the original Lost in Space?

            I think Robbie was the model for the later one in Lost in Space.

              Robbie was actually in a Lost in Space episode with the LiS robot!

                      The Genuine Lost In Space B-9 Robot - Hammacher Schlemmer

                      This is the 6 1/2-foot, animatronic remote-controlled version of the B-9 Environmental Control Robot from the classic Lost In Space television series that ran from 1965 to 1968. Every detail of the original robot is faithfully reproduced from original archival molds, patterns and blueprints. It is made from fiberglass, acrylic, aluminum, and steel parts, including its rotating torso and radar head, flashing lights, animated ear sensors, and clawed arms. It can be operated using the included remote control, allowing you to move its torso left and right and activate the robots soil sampler (which comes out of its right tread housing and spins; the robot provides an audible environmental analysis thereafter). The robot has a 240-watt audio system, and speaks 511 pre-recorded phrases performed by Richard Tufeld, the original voice of the robot from the television series (including such familiar phrases as "Danger Will Robinson!") Pulling the robot's power pack causes it to utter "Aaghhhhhh..." just as it did in the TV series when being shut-down; plugging it back in prompts it to say "Who turned out the lights?" 78" H x 27" W. (275 lbs.)

                      Only $24,500 USD since you Alpha Copier guys make such big bucks :P

                          If I'm gonna lay out that kind of coinage I want a fully functional Dalek (R/C of course)

                          I think we still have a few AF1224c's we can try it out on - if not a MP4000 will do just fine (before moving on to the engineer who's in charge of the toner)

                              If your going to turn killer robots out on machines may I suggest Maximilian from The Black Hole, there are plenty of iR3100 and iR6800 type machines I would like to see shredded. I just wonder if they would give a little electronic scream as they go...A quick zap from a dalek wouldn't seem fitting somehow!
