I for one welcome our new robot overlords. From the makers of Big Dog: link If anyone says, "Hey! We could make it look like Arnold!" I'm heading for the hills. |

Very practical, yes, but easy to take out and very expensive to repair. |

This has all happened before and will happen again! |

Yeah, cybernetic killing machines are now mobile..film at 11! Cue the "we're doomed" music! |

And I remember when Daleks couldn't climb stairs! |

They would be much scarier if they could fly a few hundred miles per hour and
oh wait, never mind. |

Yes, but can they make it 100 feet tall. |

It would be much scarier if it wasn't tethered with cables. |

It just me or does that bear a striking resemblance to a Locust mech? some pretty impressive advances in robots these days. That's for sure. |

I like how fluidly it looks when the guy tries to push it over. Also, lol at "Stick them on the battlefield to save lives." At least it will for the nation that owns them! |

Those cables won't be there for long. If they're even on the later models at all. Big Dog didn't have any. |

This problem is easily solved, here are five ways: link |

those guys have really figured out the reflex arrays for keeping things stable. Now to see if their system scales up a bit. I think most grunts would like to have a 25mm cannon that goes everywhere they can. |

I rather hope that is the future of "wheel" chairs. |

Kewl! 1/3 scale Battletech, here we come. |

"NEW MILITARY ROBOT COULD ONE DAY SAVE LIVES ON THE BATTLEFIELD" Yeah, that's ONE of the things it could do
