I had some extra time today to finally construct this Armor-Bot I had sitting MISB for years now. If you don't have one of these, get one.. a ton of awesomeness with a cool old school robot voice box. This is a true classic, and it's big, so if you go hunting make sure you have the room to store it.

Nice kitchen Destro! :)

Mine is still sitting MISB, isn't there color variants on the weapons too? One has blue weapons and the other is gold?

Wow, DESTRO, I purchased a MiB Armor Bot like a month or two ago and put it together just the other day! I totally agree, the Armor Bot rocks! I haven't put batteries in it yet, but it is still wicked sweet. It's sturdy, the cock-pit is awesome, and the rocket launcher is sick! I would recommend the Armor Bot to any fan of fun action figures/ toys.

I'm not sure, but the Hawk figure comes with a hot pink rifle....

Your right, I just checked eBay and here is one with Blue Cannons.

The voice box is wicked old school, you gotta go fire yours up.

Geez Destro! How many coffee makers do you need? LOL.

Two coffee makers and two coffee cups. Is that a His and Hers?

Took a short video of the lights and sounds.

I have both versions. The one I just put together is the same as yours, and the one I had as a kid is the other version. You are right about the voice and sounds. They make a sweet toy even sweeter, kind of like hot fudge on a sundae... delicious!

Did the robot say it was going to kick some butt? Funny.

The era this thing came from is highly, highly overlooked. I dug the Armor Tech Joes at 1st until I got them in hand, too much lost articulation for me. This Armor Bot however, looked cool. I wish it could lean more...like Metal Gear Rex. Dig how it's a bipedal robot. Leg articulation would be cool too.

Nonetheless, I could see myself picking this up someday.

I drink a lot of coffee, at least a pot of coffee per day.

A nearby comic store has one loose and in good condition. Sadly I have no room for vehicles at this point...

We're not so different, you and I...

You likely aren't drinking enough coffee. You might want to remedy that.

I got one MISB a few months back too. Then I ended up getting one MLC with box, well it did need a couple missiles which I had. So I have them sitting side by side in my Joe room on the shelf. I need to try out the lights and sounds to see if it works. It looked like it had only been assembled once or twice and stored in the box since.

I'm guessing this thing is very rugged and durable?

It seems to be, the antennas are like all other antennas. Just keep it out of the sunlight. I have tint on my window, but I am still nervous about my Armor-Bot being right in front of it.

I actually need another one of these since the one I have recently had an arm break off. It stays on from a display perspective but falls off when I play with it...and yes, I still play with my toys.
