Brickset
A big robot, with lots of articulation, parts and heart. — “The set comprises a robot, and that's it. No minifigures, or alternate builds. You get a robot, but you get a really nice robot who looks kind of cute and fits in well with your spacemen on the moon. I think this is a great little set.”

Lego Maniacs' Guide
“The Spy-Bot looks like something straight out of a 1950's horror flick. It has the weird looking head with buggy eyes and the right kind of body to be semi-scary/semi-deranged looking. The robot is done in mainly grey and black. The legs are fairly short -- only two bricks... More high. Even though it has sixty pieces, most of them are very small so the overall robot is only 8 1/3 bricks high.”

“Brick-built robot with rotating head and movable arms and legs. Dorky-looking retro sci-fi robot. Nice articulation on the arms; the legs, not so much.”
