3 word answer: Electronic Sound Gimmick.

Behold the wonders of compromised engineering when a toy is designed around an electronic sound block.

My schoolfriends and I came up with this mode for Cosmos back in 1985 one lunchtime...

Sexy Satellite Mode!
As Cosmos' tech specs explains, he gets really lonely (and probably bored stiff) stuck in orbit... so we gave him this mode for him to hover in geostationary orbit above beaches and perv on topless bathers.

I like Lugnut... don't quite love him as much as others do, but I like him enough. The fact that I only paid $22 probably contributed -- wouldn't have paid full price for him. But I do prefer him a lot over Animated Luggers.
