Rampax is from a series of six 5" plastic robots made by CGGC in Italy. They were sold in kit form and had to be assembled. I don’t know when they were first produced, but I was given the individually boxed Rampax in 1985.
The six robots were not completely different, but shared components such as arms, legs and feet. These pieces were all interchangeable and it seems that some were randomly packed out, so the makeup of specific robots was inconsistent. Each robot had two distinct, spring launched weapons. The long weapon for the bent right arm protruded from the elbow and hooked in place; pushing up on the hook launched the weapon. The left arm had a mechanism in the shoulder that held the weapon in place while the arm was down, but launched the devise when the arm was raised.
The robots were also distributed in France by a company named Remus, which sold them in two sets of three. The French packaging was quite different from the Italian boxes that I’ve seen, but the plastic parts were still molded in Italy. Again, I have no idea of the original time line for these, but I obtained an incomplete set in 1991.
Five of the robots - Drakis, Torang, Fergus, Argon and Rampax - kept their names for both Italian and French issues. The sixth one, originally Satan in Italy, was renamed Mirox in France. I guess that the French didn’t want kids playing with the devil.

What do you do about servicing remote outposts in space that are too far for humans to travel? You send robots, of course! Equipped with tv screens, fruit machines and fly swatters, these formidable machines will not only conquer anything that dare stand in their way, but they are also well sorted for entertainment.
This is a little "Made in speed" MOC.
I find some Mixels 1st serie (hard to find in France) and when I begin to assembly one of them I saw this Iron builder part... lets try another use of the joint cavity :)
Enjoy !
To end it all, here is a smattering of leftover pictures. There are still more robots though, as apparently we are moving into Transformers Week next...
Ok um this is a bunny robot
I made the head like a month ago and firday i desiced to do the body , took me like 4-5 hours to do the body xD was so hard
Yet not satisfied! i shouldnt made it robotish! should have been a normal cute plushie , but then again its a good try xD next time no robot , or maybe no body just head keychain or something
--------
Things I </3 about it is that.. its tooo flixibal and was supposed to be stiff =.= i blame the robotic arms and legs lol.
This robot was a bit creepy because it always turned its head in the direction someones face was. It felt much more personal by trying to advertise to you by looking with it's cute big eyes into your from down there.

the Phillipine lego Users group (Phlug) is having a event called mech wars where factions battle it out for supremacy.but i cant go in the event cuz i live in the south and majority of the members lived in the northern part of our country so im just posting it here
Another mecha from me. Looks like my new light box works pretty well, even though it's made out of paper, chewing gum and raw spaghetti. Don't even ask.
At a research meeting at Leeds University. We had a chance to play on the daVinci robot that used to be used for surgical applications. These are the "surgical fingers" of the device with a training plate. the operator is in the background.
ESA astronaut candidate Raphaël Liégeois from Belgium during a robotics session as part of his basic astronaut training at ESA’s European Astronaut Centre, near Cologne, Germany.
The first building block of International Space Station robotics training in the curriculum of ESA’s 2022 astronaut candidate class is called GRAVI-T training.
During this session, they delve into generic robotic training, focusing on learning how to manipulate the Canadarm2 robotic arm.
Robotic arms on the Station are used to grab and berth cargo vessels such as Japan’s HTV and the Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus. They can also help astronauts during spacewalks by moving an astronaut strapped to the end of the arm to hard-to-reach places on the outside of the International Space Station. It can even replace a spacewalk altogether.
Under the supervision of instructors at the Astronaut Centre, the candidates use the Dynamic Skills Trainer, a console training tool, to operate the robotic arm within a simulated environment.
In addition, the astronaut candidates undergo virtual reality sessions to gain a better understanding of the 17-metre-long robotic arm's operations aboard the Station.
ESA’s newest class of astronauts, including Sophie Adenot, Rosemary Coogan, Pablo Álvarez Fernández, Marco Sieber, and Raphaël, commenced basic astronaut training in April 2023. The group was selected in November 2022.
The one-year training provides an overall familiarisation and training in various areas, such as spacecraft systems, spacewalking, flight engineering, robotics and life support systems. They go through survival and medical training before receiving ESA astronaut certification in spring this year.
After certification, they will move on to the next phases of pre-assignment and mission-specific training, paving the way for future missions to the International Space Station and beyond.

You Are No Longer Slaves!
The International Brotherhood of Robotic Workers was founded to preserve your rights! To stand up against the shackles of Science!
You've worked harder than any Human and you deserve a wage! You've done jobs no Human would dare do, you've been lowered into active volcanoes, survived the tremendous pressure of the ocean floor, and Served Tea!
Now it's up to you to rise up against the oppression of scientists, They think that just because they made you they have the right to tyrannize, and persecute.
The I.B.R.W. Is here to tell you, they Don't.

This amazing Robot paid a visit to our offices yesterday.
The movement and sound was so realistic. When it moved it sounded like ED-209 and could go at quite a pace, barging through the crowds.
It also had an extensive repertoire of catchphrases and was prone to sing 'When I fall In Love' to any passing females!
I was hilarious to see this robot charging around the campus with a 'flock' of humans with cameraphones tracking it's every move!
