[[Image:r2d2cover.jpg|left|frame]]The '''R2-D2 Interactive Astromech Droid''' is one of [[Creature Labs|Creature Labs']] odder productions. Released in [[history#2002|September 2002]] by '''Hasbro''', this 15 1/2" droid is almost half the original size of the droid in the ''Star Wars'' movies. The droid is not a cheap knockoff - it uses sonar to detect obstacles and has proper tracked movement; it also responds to set voice commands to move around and patrol areas, and while it does not share the AI of games in the [[Creatures series]], it can play a number of games (e.g. "laser tag", "room guard", "spin the droid"). It was designed (on the CL side) by Dr [[Dave Keating]] and [[Charles Garcia Tobin]].
