The Matador was invented by Gadget. It
showed up in "When Mice Were Men" (#47.)
At that time we saw the whole process of assembling it.
The Matador was intended for repulsing of a redoubtable bull El Emenopeo, which was going to
destroy Monterrey Jack.
The model for the Matador was a human body, so we can see similarity
between the parts of the invention and a human.
As feet Gadget used two rests with nails, which secured into the ground for
better stability.
Instead of legs Gadget used a flexible spring, which gave an elasticity to
the mechanism.
A metal box works as the body of the mechanism. All moving parts of the
Toreador are in the box.
The "hands" are two brooms.
An old bucket works as the head. Inside of it the controls
are located.
