A weekly rummage in the attic of sci-fi

Take that, you cybernetic freak! The Six Million Dollar Man decapitates Maskatron, the foe created by Kenner Toys to battle their phenomenally popular bionic action figure in the '70s. While Maskatron came complete with Steve Austin and Oscar Goldman masks for some high-level infiltration fun, his features were modelled on genre god John Saxon, who played a vaguely similar character in the TV show.
