Description
It's the Robo Reptar from the childrens' flick 'Rugrats in Paris: The Movie. In my childhood days I was a hardcore Rugrats fan and I was giddy as hell once Nickelodeon premiered the trailer for the second Rugrats film in mid-2000. A little background info on the picture, however. This robot was yet another invention of Tommy's silly father Stu Pickles, which was designed to be so simple "Even a baby can work the controls", using a pair of gloves, boots and a helmet along with a multi-directional treadmill device to steer the robot. If anyone remembers the very first appearance of the Robo Reptar, it was the TV special that set the stage for the second movie, where it is featured in a parade. After that it was sent to the EuroReptar theme park and resort in Paris for its main attraction where once again the robot begins malfunctioning (the head repeatedly popping off the body). The manager of the theme park summons Stu to Paris to repair the robot, which he does using a stupid combination of paper clips and rubber bands. In the climactic ending scene of the movie the Rugrats take control of the robot while locked away in the garage during Coco and Chaz's 'wedding' and wreak havoc across Paris in what had to be my favorite Rugrats moment ever.
