Just after it landed from the depths of outer space, Wowwee introduced the Roboquad to the entire planet. With its unique movement based on rotating multi-jointed legs, it’s not quite a crab, not exactly a spider, but looks more like a 4-legged alien quad from another planet.

He can move in 8-directions using his advanced awareness system enabled by his sound and his light sensors.

This little guy has personality: with a push of a button, he changes his awareness, aggression, and activity levels to suit your tastes. Go ahead and have him perform some programmable sequences.

To top it off, he has one of the coolest dance demos to come out of Wowwee yet!

Check out the evolution of this rare species of RoboQuad from his prototype beginnings to becoming your inquisitive alien friend.

Let’s take a look at the story from the beginning…
