Correct! He had the eye, a latex rubber arm that you could roll back and replace bionic modules, and legs that made a ratcheting sound when you swung them. And I think that some versions had a lever on his back that would move his arm up so it could lift the engine block that he came with.
Good luck on that metric system thing. In my college biology lab this week that includes a “reintroduction” to the metric system, I had a group of students answer the question, “How many millimeters are in a centimeter?” (This was with a metric ruler in front of them, and a list of metric prefixes.)

This video has triggered a memory of having an action figure with a removable face just like Oscar did. My brother and I were big fans of the show back then, so maybe that’s what it was...
Here’s the one I’m thinking of. The good stuff comes around 1:40
Try to retain some modicum of plausibility.
Looks like that was Steve Sloan, but he did knock Robot Oscar ’s head off.

One of his earliest notable roles was as the ill-fated best friend of the titular character in the swashbuckler Scaramouche. He’s about to be run through in a duel in the picture above.

I admit it. I read this on a news crawl this morning and thought it was Richard Dean Anderson.
I used to always wonder why not the 5 million dollar man or 7 million dollar man, and is this before or after taxes.
