Crusher Joe anime, around 1983. Influenced Short Circuit 1986, Wall-E

 Joe looks like Rick Hunter a lot. 

Good movie… love the low gravity flipping jump down 1/5 way thru movie. 

Translation of angry space forces boss “Quit blwin smoke up my ass” funny… been a minute since I’ve heard that. 

Funny info on the phrase here  https://www.historyextra.com/period/first-world-war/what-is-the-origin-of-the-phrase-to-blow-smoke-up-someones-arse/

The robot Dongo in Crusher Joe is the basic design for Short Circuit, Wall-E and many more it would seem. 

EDIT: And 2 years later in 1985 (was it in development for a year or two???) we had R.O.B. the Robot for Nintendo NES! Now he's in Smash Brothers Ultimate.
