Tomy Omnibot

Omnibot was a dome headed robot made by Tomy in the mid 80s. I had one myself and it seemed like the coolest thing ever at the time. It was controlled by a remote, which let you move its around also talk through it and have your voice come out of the loud speaker. Combine that with the plastic tray it had and you have the perfect dinner party host, bringing drinks into your bemused guests. The Omnibot also had a tape deck built into the front of it and a digital clock.

Omnibot was later superceded by Omnibot 2000 which enjoyed a cameo appearance in the robot flick, Short Circuit. If you want to revisit Omnibot, check out eBay where you still them floating around.
