Can anyone identify this 1970s Robot Action Figure?

Posted in Action Figure Chatter

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone is able to identify this action figure? It had a switch on the back that allowed two yellow doors to open on his chest before a second switch fired two spring loaded rockets. He was articulated at the shoulders, knees and hips and was given to me for christmas in 1978(!) My brother received a similar one who fired rockets from the knees and was more yellow in colour.

I should point out that this was in the UK and was probably purchased from British Home Stores (now BHS) or similar chain store.

If anyone can name this character I will be forever in their debt!

Thanks for looking

MM
