The Mind Manipulation-O-Matic is Wallace's latest invention, as seen in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. It is used for the manipulation of human thoughts and desires no longer wanted by the user, and can change, implant, or even extract them depending on the users will.
Wallace had been caught cheating on his cheese-free diet by Gromit, so in order to better control himself, he unveils the Mind Manipulation-O-Matic and prepares to extract his cheese-loving nature from his mind. Gromit worriedly disapproves, but before Wallace activates the device, an emergency pest problem from Tottington Hall presents itself, and the duo ride off as Anti-Pesto Pest Control and effectively deal with the problem.
Afterwards, Wallace decides to use his invention for a different purpose: to brainwash their captured rabbits and negate their vegetable cravings, combining the Mind Manipulation-O-Matic to the BunVac 6000 rabbit-capture device to do so more efficiently. The experiment seems to work after a while, but when Wallace accidentally hits the 'blow' function on the BunVac, the opposite effect occurs, transferring the rabbits' vegetable-loving nature into Wallace's mind. This leads to one of the rabbits, dubbed Hutch by Wallace, to start acting like Wallace while Wallace himself became the dreaded Were-Rabbit.
During the botched project, Gromit destroyed the device to free Wallace from its influence, so it is presumed that the device is no longer functional. Though it is also presumed that the machine, if functional at all, still resides within Wallace's house.
