\n Now he\u2019s a mask-ot.<\/p>\n

Metro-North has deployed its robot mascot \u2014 yes, the Metro-North railway has a mascot \u2014 to distribute face masks on platforms and trains.<\/p>\n

Metro-Man \u2014 a human in a costume, not an actual robot \u2014 resembles a plastic RoboCop knock-off, complete with shiny armor and a black, and slightly terrifying glowing eyes. Metro-North\u2019s logo is affixed to the costume\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n

Metro-North posted photos on Twitter Wednesday of the automaton distributing masks at Grand Central Terminal and an unspecified suburban rail station.<\/p>\n

In one photo, Metro-Man wears is sporting a mask himself and has three more in his hand.<\/p>\n

Metro-Man was first created in 1983 as part of a company initiative to education schoolchildren about railroad safety, TimeOut New York reported.<\/p>\n

At the time, the mascot was an actual robot, and operated by motion-control, according to the New York Transit Museum, which now houses the retired droid.<\/p>\n

Its design \u2014 two boxes on top of each other \u2014 was more similar to the characters\u2019 inspiration, Star Wars\u2019 R2-D2.<\/p>\n

The railroad launched the current version of Metro-Man in 2018.<\/p>\n

With the help of its cyber superhero, the MTA has passed out over five million masks, transit officials said Thursday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
