Why buy a Transformers toy, when you can build your own? That’s what this engineer did. The end result is completely awesome and the best actual transforming toy ever.

It’s called the Humvee Biloid. A fully transformable robot that comes equipped with a camera for surveillance tasks. Just push of a button and it will go from a car into robot mode. Unfortunately, it’s just a prototype..for now.

Damn, I can’t wait for the robot toys of the future. Hit the link for an awesome video that unfortunately will not embed here.

Companies have tried again and again to create the perfect robo-dog…Tried and failed, often miserably. The Sega Dream Dog DX is the best yet, super cuddly and pretty damn believable. It recently wowed humans at the Tokyo Toy Show, responding to voice commands, sitting, rolling over, barking and even nipping at your fingers. It’s the closest thing to a real dog I’ve seen yet. It’s dog sounds make your geek heart fall in love. It’s available in September, and the Dream Dog DX Golden Retriever will be sell for just 29,800 ($276).
