The Climb@Tron R.E.X. — which stands for "Robot EXplorer" — is missing the machine guns and rocket pods its Assault Bot from the Future design begs for. While it won't blow up any of the furniture, it will climb all over your walls and other smooth surfaces using vacuum suction to stay aloft for as long as its AAA batteries allow it. Images of an out-of-juice bot falling from the ceiling and shattering on the floor might be going through your head, but don't worry — the climbers go for only $10, so you can buy a couple. Still, you might want to get a hardhat. — Kevin Hall
