One step closer to RoboCop. They've even worked around that pesky "fuel" problem. There was another article detailing the military's soon-to-come field testing of robot drones armed with machine guns and other weaponry in iraq, but I've since lost the address.

V_MAN

They looks stupid tbh

EH!!! EH!!!!?

Ratonetwothreetwoone

hmm yeah they do look pretty dumb....

that robot in the bottom left pic looks almost human though..

Private_Coleman

He's a T-1000. Samuel L. Jackson series.

AllUrHiveRblong2us

Looks kinda like the guy from Reno 911. Except instead of just being not funny, he will destroy the human race.

JediYoshi

Looks like a contender for Battle Bots.

Liku

Those things really don't look to great, but I just want to see someone go places in that and not be embarassed.

marce

icky.

Those are some ugly robots. They look like they might crush me with their overpowering... uglyness.

Still, if they work fine and don't squash anyone with their bulkiness, then "cool!"

Snidely

In the future, all robot pilots will be required to wear silver bodysuits. <i>*Shudder*</i>

Ice9

Robots <i>will</i> kill you.

Mad_ivans

Robots annihilating human beings, What fantastic idea it will save having wars of personal greed and ambitions which have plaqued human nature thrpugh the brief period of 500,000 years and save the planet from the alienation of homo sapians

NEO_Phyte

Syndicate, anyone?

WTH is with the Japanese and their battle against all things natural?

They made a square watermelon last year for God's sake.

Imagine being an iraqi not knowing jack about these robots, and one busts through your front door with a m249 strapped to it. I think it would cause me to drop what im doing and run screaming like a little girl <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I smell a movie coming on....

Picture this, the dirty dangerous...and...dirty streets of Iraq.
Arnold Schwarzenegger....as a U.S. marine...robot.
Guns.
Explosions.
A small innocent young girl who’s more then meets the eye.
A rouge group of insurgents who don't know who not to mess with.
Plot.
More explosions.
A touching ending reflecting on one robots sacrifice to save a little girl.


God damn I could do this for a living...now if only someone would pay me... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

a square watermelon?

Meh, Vladiator pwns all robots- you can't beat a bot that drives a titanium spike into your **** at 60 MPH , is invertable, all wheel drive, and has 1 inch thick lexan top / bottom armor with 3/4 inch titanium side / front/back armor <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The robots may look ugly individually, but what the article fails to mention is that they combine to form MEGAZORD!

Each week the group of teenagers with attitude chosen to pilot these robots will have to fight a new and increasingly more cheaply made monster, including a mecha made entirely of AK47s, and Saddam Hussain's even eviller twin.

The U.S army will make a killing from the merchandise.
