'Day of the Robot' (Story Code '40012') by Harold Livington Del Reisman and Lionel E. Siegel

Having learned of the top secret plans for the testing of an anti-missile missile device, a group of criminals decide to steal the system, with the intention of then selling it to the highest foreign bidder. Putting a complex scheme into action, they abduct Colonel Steve Austin's friend and colleague, Major Frederick Sloan, and replace him with a life-like robot. When the testing of the new missile device proves successful the robot immediately carries out its programming and makes off with the system. Realising what has happened Steve sets off in pursuit, but soon finds that the robot is more than a match for his bionics – and that it has been programmed to kill anyone that gets in its way…
