No mention of the HERO-1? Seems like a huge gap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HERO_(robot)

The Hero-1 in Whiz Kids made me desperately want one back when I was about 11. I'm not sure why I wanted it, but I was very sure.

As a hat tip to my.past self I picked up a Hero Jr when it popped up in auction and man it was a hassle getting it shipped from the US auction house to Europe. Still not sure why I want it now I've got it though.
