Omnibot 2000

Published by Toronto Mike on December 7, 2011 @ 15:11 in Memories

rewind When I was the age my son is now, I wanted an Omnibot 2000. I don't think I bothered asking for it, I just passive aggressively yearned for it.

Watching the new Muppet movie with the kids the other night, I saw a new character called 80s Robot. 80s Robot looks just like the Omnibot 2000 I desired almost 30 years ago.

As I recall, the Omnibot 2000 didn't just play cassette tapes and talk, it also carried stuff and moved with a remote control. It was awesome!

Who else wanted an Omnibot 2000?

80s Robot was one of my favourite parts of the Muppet movie. Definitely aimed at the lot of us who grew up in that time.

Dude that Tomy Robot was all I ever wanted...I cried one Christmas when Santa didn't bring it.

I wanted one of those.

One of my rich friends had one. He never used it. It just sat in a corner of his room collecting dust. I always wanted to take it out and get it going, but he always said "no".
