Robert Oschler, the unparalleled guru of all things robotic, has just sent us a video of WowWee’s new robot, Wrex the Dawg. With a description like this, how could you not be tempted to peek?

Wrex The Dawg is WowWee’s new, hilarious, ill-mannered robot dog. With an appearance that resembles Frankenstein’s Dog if he were assembled from a disjointed set of junkyard parts, and a face not even a mother could love, you can’t help but laugh the moment you see him.  Some say comedy is the art of understanding the rules of a good drama and then breaking them.  If so, this robot dog breaks all of the rules.  He is absolutely terrible at being a dog and even worse at being a robot.   If it will make you laugh then Wrex will do it, and he doesn’t care how many rules he breaks along the way. He breaks down frequently on purpose. Some times he acts like a cat, other times he insults them.  He farts better than any robot alive and threatens to “tinkle on” nearly every object in your house (a groundless threat since Wrex The Dawg is without the necessary equipment, but it’s the thought that counts!) In short, Wrex The Dog is the silliest robot you’ll ever love!

Hey Judie,

Just minutes ago, we posted to YouTube solid video review that covers the important features and capabilities of WowWee’s hilarious cartoon character come to life, Wrex The Dawg. In the video you’ll learn about Wrex’s custom behavior modes like how to turn him into a cat or make him sound like the original Robosapien, how he well he gets around on carpet, what kind of tricks he does, and how funny a rude robot dog can be.

Here is a link to the accompanying written review, which contains secret tips and tricks for getting the most out of Wrex The Dawg that are not covered in the video, along with a comprehensive breakdown of Wrex’s features and what it’s like to play with him:

In the video you will get a glimpse of WowWee’s clever three wheeled Tri-Bot robot as he tries to steal Wrex’s remote control. If you missed our video review and write-up of this extremely cool robot, you can find that one on this web page (video is embedded in the web page):
