  2. 2Tiger Electronics FurbyTiger Electronics FurbyTiger Electronics, 1998 Pet a Furby or make a sound nearby and the mechanical creature responds. Its ears, eyes, and beak do a lot of the acting. The original starts out speaking Furbish and adds preprogrammed English phrases over time.0
  3. 3LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System 1.0LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System 1.0LEGO, 1998 Build the body out of LEGO, then tell the yellow RCX brick what to do with the motors and sensors.

  4. 4Sony AIBO ERS-110Sony AIBO ERS-110Sony, 1999 Watch a robot dog walk on four legs and play with a colored ball.

  5. 5Kenner Electronic Remote Control R2-D2Kenner Electronic Remote Control R2-D2Kenner, 1997 Drive the little droid yourself and give it blinking lights and electronic sounds to go with the trip.

  6. 6Beast Wars Ultra Optimus PrimalBeast Wars Ultra Optimus PrimalKenner, 1996 Fold the gorilla into the robot and open up the arms to find the weapons hidden inside.

  7. 7Toy Biz X-Men Sentinel Robot PlaysetToy Biz X-Men Sentinel Robot PlaysetToy Biz, 1994 Hit a target and the chest plate pops off, giving you a place to put a captured X-Men figure.

  8. 8Beast Wars Deluxe DinobotBeast Wars Deluxe DinobotKenner, 1996 Change a brown raptor into a robot, then use the detachable tail as its spinning weapon. The tail is worth checking on a loose figure because it does so much to complete both versions of the toy.0
  9. 9Beast Wars Ultra MegatronBeast Wars Ultra MegatronKenner, 1996 Turn a purple tyrannosaur into a robot that still has the dinosaur’s head at the end of one arm. Water squirts out through its mouth. That pairing of a clever conversion and a silly toy feature makes this one easy to recognize.0

The die-cast pieces give the job a satisfying heft, and the different lion colors help you remember which limbs go where.
