Instant Object Expander
The IOE. An ingenious device that expands objects, including living things, to any size. It works by mind-control, which sounds more complicated than it is.
Operation is simple. Aim at the target, press the red button, and think of how big you would like it. To reverse the effect, press the green button three times in a row and the object shrinks back to its original size.
The beams bounce off mirrors, so you can expand yourself by aiming at a mirror, or just aim at yourself directly. Rob Newman once used one to deminiaturize the MGWN.
