It sounds like it could be Robocop that you're talking about. If so, we have a web page on that series at:

If not, perhaps you can provide one of the actor's names or a year when you know it aired?

No it is not robocop its from the period 80s - 1990. It is a man who would dress up in a robot costume armour and has some of them heavy weapons to protect the innocent and to defeat the bad guys and he has also a motorcycle helmet to protect his head. the armour robot costume has wires al over

Can someone know what i am talking about
Please!!!!

If it is Super Force, you can get the premiere TV movie on VHS only at Amazon.com. They're out of print but they have used copies that they claim are in very good condition for under ten bucks.

Check it out here at Amazon.

I think it is M.A.N.T.I.S. a scientist builds a powerful exo-skeleton in order to walk again, and uses his new abilities to fight crime.

There was a show, it was shown onSci-F for a while, with Dezi Arnes Jr., where he was a police officer in the computer department who created a holographic man. His creation could make solid holgraphic vehicles, helicoptors cars and I beleive a motorcycle.

It sounds like you're talking about a series titled, "Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)" that aired in England on ITV during the 1969-1970 season for 26 episodes.

The cast was composed of Mike Pratt (as Jeff Randall), Kenneth Cope (as Marty Hopkirk), and Annette Andre (as Jean Hopkirk). Marty Hopkirk was murdered in the first episode and then returned as the ghost.

When the series aired in the U.S., it was retitled, "My Partner the Ghost". Believe it or not, they renamed it for U.S. audiences because research showed that we Americans would not understand the word, "deceased"! This, of course was decided by the same brilliant minds that came up with the U.S. title, "My Partner the Ghost".

There was a remake of the series that aired during the 2000-2001 season starring Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves. That one lasted for only 13 episodes.

Thanks for the great question!
