Sturdy and imposing on land, with full 4-wheel drive capability to tackle the most arduous of terrain, this changeling of a device is equally at home in the water. On activating the transformation device deep in the heart of the unit, powerful twin propellers take over from wheels, providing rock-solid forward motion in the water.
This motorized replica of the headstrong little “droid” from the iconic Star Wars® films responds to voice commands, navigates rooms and obeys more than 40 voice commands.
