Where is the point of weakness for me to shoot it when it goes evil? All robots hve a weakspot right?


I am slighty creeped out.
Weakness: Right, R, Left, R, L, L, R, L, L, R, R, L, R, L, R and R

I agree, I'm slightly creeped out by this as well.

So those things, can kill people?

Well at least I know when I hear a tinny sounding two stroke motor that I should grab the women and children and run.

Although that is pretty freaky, but very awsome!

This is a horrifying piece of technology. Modern day horror films and games could learn something from this robot. Look at the awkward yet careful way it walks. Look at how its exposed joints flex. How it pursues its goals with such precision despite the lack of any head.

This thing, wandering around in the dark. Which is more horrifying: with or without bee-sounds? Probably contextual.

I can't wait until we have these:


Although, on second thoughts, it's probably for the best that we don't.

Or what's around now. I strongly believe that any military tech that is revealed to the public is at least five years old, possibly ten. To me, it makes no sense to reveal true cutting edge technology to the world, where it can be studied and potentially copied.
This. Three years ago, the CIA had dragonfly-sized cameras that could fly around. How do I know this? Because a guy from the CIA came to my history class in high school and told us. But isn't most stuff in the CIA top-secret?

YES.

That means that the technology is old enough to be declassified.

And if that technology is old enough to be declassified, then the CIA probably has smaller faster flying cameras. With guns on them.

It's a pack mule, guys. That thing couldn't fight if its supple little Bambi legs defended on it.

But it would be a great choice for lugging supplies around for special forces. It could use a 'hide' function where it folds its legs under itself, and little hooks or whatever for attaching a sort of ghillie suit.

And I wonder if they can do anything about the lawnmower sound?

I was actually irrationally terrified when I saw it walking up the hill.

Then the guy kicked it and I blurted out "Hunter!"
Thats wierd I did exactly that at that moment And I dont know why...
It's the way its legs are flexible and lifelike. You can stagger Hunters the same way if you hits them with thrown objects.

That was magnificent, the way it moved its legs when it slipped. Well done to the engineers who made that.. thing!

More like 40-50 years old... They like keeping secrets you know...
Why the hell would they NOT use technology 40-50 years in advance to the rest of the world in a war?

That's pretty impressive, but I can't help thinking that an RPG will put paid to all that technology unless they can cover it with what will have to be bulky armour. It doesnt seem the stealthiest machine ever made, either.
They could cover it with armour. Of course for that, you want to increase your surface area/volume ratio. This would neccesitate getting rid of those legs and replacing them with, say, tracks or something. Hang on...


A walking tank is always going to be much more vulnerable to enemy fire than a tracked tank, you can't help it. You could get to the stage where your armour is made of something very impressive so you need only a tiny amount of it, or you can use you tank against people without any decent weapons...say policing or riot control (maybe).

On the other hand, 32 million isn't that much, may as well pay them to develop something that might be useful for something else in the future.

Well... Using über-hightech, silent aircrafts utilising antigravity and antimatter technology against a group of people in caves armed with 70 year old guns is propably not the way they want the word to come out.. But perhaps in the next war against someone with similar technology as say, the russians or chinese, they will have to use it...

But thats just my take on it...
