Vehicle mode
In vehicle mode, the V_Bot resembles a cross between a sports car and a sport utility. This radio-controlled racer does everything you want an R/C car to do--in style. The rear "rims" have tiny LEDs that light up when in motion (what they call "Lightning Wheels"). The fully-functional digital controls are responsive enough to pull tight donuts and burn up linoleum (figuratively). When you are ready to switch gears for some robot action, simply press the button.

Robot mode
In mere seconds, watch the V_Bot morph from car into a 15-inch robot. The transformation is not at all clunky, and once in robot mode, you have now have the use of six action buttons to perform individual moves or three preprogrammed action sequences. The most famous move would be the "V_Chop," which is basically a robotic karate chop ensured to "destroy evil." The joysticks still provide direction in robot mode, and combined with the multiple action buttons, you have over 100 unique moves to perform. Want to go back to vehicle mode? Press the button and you're driving in style. But if you still need more replay value from the toy, plug in your MP3 player and start jamming.

MP3 speaker mode
Using the headphone jack, the V_Bot has a built-in speaker to pump out your favorite tunes. The eyes light up and you can start busting moves to the sweet break beats. Of course, his signature move is--you guessed it--the robot.
