In the late 80s and early 90s kids movies and kids TV shows were all the rage. Johnny-5 was a unique live action movie that was designed around eventually building a cheap robot toy line. The movie ended up being a horrendous flop, despite having several of the top acting talents of the time.

However it has stayed within popular culture. It stayed long enough that people remembered it when WALL-E came out. WALL-E was insanely similar to Johnny-5 in so many ways. For legal reasons they were forced to say there was no connection between the two. The creator even made up a ridiculous story in which he built a lamp with a binocular head... but that still doesn't explain the tank track.

This Johnny-5 has been built using the new tank tracks. Missing is the pivot wheel on the back that was entirely impossible to implement with the limitations of the game. But yes, there is a wheel back there that pivots.
