R2-D2 is 15 1/2 inches tall. He takes 4 double A batteries and 4 D batteries. He has a cup holder hand that folds up into a compartment on his front and there is another compartment for storage. There is a cut-out command sheet that was in the storage compartment. R2-D2 is supposed to obey over 40 voice commands. He is a very opinionated little robot. He seems to obey the commands he wants to and ignore the the ones he doesn't like, or maybe its just my pronounciation. He shakes his head like he is saying no alot. Advanced Command #1 - Follow Me In Companion Mode, if you say "Follow Me," Interactive R2D2 will turn to find you and then attempt to follow you around. Go slowly though, or Interactive R2D2 will lose you and turn the other direction. Advanced Command #2 - Come Here Also in Companion Mode, if you say "Come Here," Interactive R2D2 will attempt to find you and come to you. Since this feature relies on R2's heat sensing technology, kneel down in front of Interactive R2D2. Interactive R2D2 may not come directly to you, but Interactive R2D2 will try and find you. Advanced Command #3 - Imperial March Song Interactive R2D2 plays up to 5 songs, but only the Cantina song is expressly mentioned in the Command Guide. To play the Imperial March, go to Character Mode by asking "Do You Remember." Ask Interactive R2D2 about Darth Vader and Anakin (in any order) and Interactive R2D2 will play the song. Advanced Command #4 - Sad Cantina Song Another song that Interactive R2D2 plays is actually a different version of the song he sings if you command him to do the dance program (in game mode). When Interactive R2D2 is in a sad mood, he will play a sad version of the Cantina song. There are many ways to put Interactive R2D2 into a sad mood. The easiest is in 'Do You Remember'. If you ask about Darth Vader, Interactive R2D2 will go into a sad mood. You can tell, because his mood status indicator will be red instead of blue. Advanced Command #5 - Celebration Song The Celebration Song is another one of the 5 songs that Interactive R2D2 plays and is not expressly mentioned in the Command Guide. To play the Celebration song, go to Character Mode by asking "Do You Remember." Ask Interactive R2D2 about Chewbacca, Han Solo, and Luke Skywalker (in any order), and Interactive R2D2 will play the celebration song. Advanced Command #6 - A "Special Surprise" The final hidden gem for Interactive R2D2 really takes a little work, as well as really knowing your droid. Also First, have Interactive R2D2 turn on his light beam by saying "light beam." With his light beam on, tap Interactive R2D2 three times on the head, and then place him into Game Mode by telling Interactive R2D2 "Game Mode" and then "Dance program." Interactive R2D2 will have a special dance, just for you. When you ask 'Do you remember Darth Vadar?' he screams, then if you ask 'Do you remember Anakin?' he does the imperial march. The march is the secret one. When asked 'Do you remember Darth Vadar?' and 'Do you remember Han Solo?' and 'Do you remember Chewbacca?' in any order R2 will do the throne scene. If R2's laser light is on & you tap him on the head 3 times R2 will tango. |
