R2D2 Antique toy. Need HELP finding toy's purpose

[AbnormalAlley]

I found this R2D2 toy while cleaning out a room at my parent's house. It takes a 9 Volt battery (though it still didn't react even with a new one), has a speaker in the back, and a couple of long wires with metal clips at the end. I've tried looking for something like it online to see what it was for but I've had no luck. I have no idea what it went to or what it's purpose is. If anyone knows please let me know!

Did a quick image search via google and beleive it or not it is actually a launch control for the mini R2D2 rocket stater set.

You can see your controller here, not antique I'm afraid it's classed as modern.

:lol: yeah I really geeked out on this one, in all honesty all I did was type 9 volt r2d2 in google image and there it was.

To the OP, your welcome glad it helped.
