History

The first King cyberamic debuted at the Pinole, CA store in June 1981. The bot would be stationed in The Lounge section of the store. The animatronic slowly began one of PTT's highest manufactured bots, right behind the main stage Cyberamics. The last confirmed bot was installed at Union, NJ (1660 US-22) in 1984. After Showbiz bought PTT, several King's would be retrofitted into King Kats. Most bots would removed when stores went through the SPT 1988 Remodel Program, & SPT 1992 Remodel Program. After Phase 1 (1994) happened, The amount of King bots dwindled again. In the late 90’s, the last few Kings would be removed.
