Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots is a two-player action toy and game designed by Marvin Glass and Associates, and first manufactured by the Louis Marx and Company toy company in 1964. The game features two dueling boxing robots, Red Rocker and Blue Bomber, which are mechanically manipulated by the game's players. The game is won when one player knocks the opposing robot's head up and off the shoulders. The Marx Company was liquidated in 1980, although the game is still available; the 2000s version of the game by Mattel, however, features physically smaller robots. A film based on the game Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots was announced to be in development by Universal Pictures, with Vin Diesel involved, in 2021. Read by Clay2004.
