- As I already commented to Ryan Gavigan over in rec.arts.anime, I don't
- think so. I've seen the Fleischer short ("THE MECHANICAL MONSTERS")
- and LAPUTA several times (I have them on laserdisc), and saw the LUPIN
- robot in a photograph. Although you can see the SUPERMAN->LUPIN->LAPUTA
- robotic evolution, none of them looks like the TrashcanBot. This fellow
- would have looked right at home in a pulp magazine cover.
