OK the second batch is now in hold mode as I wait for battery boxes to arrive. The second built is 5 bots and 4 of them are spoken for. So that leaves the fifth one up for grabs. I do have most of the parts for a 6th one if need be. But as I wait on parts I have moved on too the next project. More on that in a different thread. Oh and for those keeping track the first build was 6 bots if you count the working concept bot.

Here is RC Jr. #1 

what is cool about this is, it's the only one that matches the box art

Which leads me to wonder if the japanese ever designed a box around lets call it pre production

that matches the original but not subsequent changes 

 

Great Robot ! Thanks John & also Ken for the cool stylistic box !!! :thumbs:

The last 6 Commando's have been built and two already shipped out. So before they are all gone I thought a video of the last 4 running around might be fun. Of the last 4 bots two of them are still up for grabs.

John, #6 showed up here yesterday. When I finally fired him up I laughed hysterically! Great movement you programmed into him. I just love how he "senses" something, backs up as if a little intimidated, then blast whatever the threat was to bits! A beautiful design and fitting tribute to the original. Thank you!

Got it. The bots are all spoken for. There not all shipped yet, so if some one drops out I will let you know.

well, mine has just landed in the record time of 6 days, USA to Singapore…beat that!

 

what a fantastic bot! really well made, with a wonderfully programmed sequence that makes me laugh out loud with delight…just like being a kid again.

 

thank you john, and not to forget, the superb schematic design from ken, a very fresh, and clean box art.

Number 11 arrived today safe and sound in the Dutch Caves ! :)

My compliments John for this great robot. I never had a robot commando before in my collection, no idea why.. probably because I was never able to locate a nice boxed one so... Here is the first robot commando in the dutch caves :)

Really cool actions and well build !
My compliments goes also to Ken for the artwork on the box. I mentioned it before.. you really made a change in your artwork and its really getting better every time.
Well done for this one Ken !


Thanks 

Marco
