Tobor

Tobor ("robot" spelled backwards) is a fictional robotic character, featured in the 1949-1954 American science-fiction TV-series Captain Video and His Video Rangers, and in the 1954 movie Tobor the Great (described as one of the most important works of the science-fiction canon at the time). A spinoff TV-series centered on Tobor was planned for the 1956-1957 season, Here Comes Tobor, but in the end only a pilot episode was shot. Tobor was nine feet tall, and characterized by an "Robot 1" sign on his chest, that has been stenciled backwards, resulting in "I Tobor.". According to director of Tobor the Great Lee Sholem the making of the Tobor robot costume took five months.
