The Automan had a [[Robot Buddy]] (actually, a Pixel Buddy) by the name of Cursor, who could become virtually any object Automan needed. This ability manifested itself most often when Cursor would "draw" Automan's car/coptor/plane or provide Automan with normal clothing.
Line 13:
* [[Hard Light]]: Automan, Cursor and all Automan's vehicles are made out of it.
* [[Magical Computer]]: This show didn't even pretend to be realistic about how computers work.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Main character "Walter Nebicher" ("nebbisher").
* [[Mega Manning]]: Automan could copy any skill he sees performed at least once.
* [[Not Wearing Tights]]: unless you count that Tron-like glowy suit.
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
* [[Sue Donym]]: Automan's usual alias outside the computer is Otto J. Mann.
* [[Short Runners]]: Only lasted 12 eps,with a 13th episode unaired (though all 13 aired in the UK).
* [[Shout-Out]]: Many, as one of Automan's abilities was to duplicate skills he saw performed in movies or television. One notable incident involved duplicating the skills in ''[[The Hustler]]'' - right down to the missed final shot.
* [[Summon Magic|Summon Tech]]: There were a few hints dropped that Automan was not so much created as summoned from... somewhere else.
* [[They Fight Crime]]
* [[Tron Lines]]: on every vehicle Cursor creates. Also Automan's holographic body; even when in plainclothes disguise, his glowing collar is always visible.
