Christmas 1986, my parents gifted me a Tomy Omnibot, along with an assortment of Transformers and Zoids toys! To this day it remains one of my most cherished holiday memories!

Tomy's programmable toy robot was an attempt to capitalise on the popularity of Star Wars' R2-D2 during the Atari age. With its built-in cassette deck, remote control and tray, Omnibot hinted at future app-enabled devices such as Astro and Sphero. #Omnibot #Toy #Robot #Christmas
