Don’t these idiots realize what they’re doing?
And
The modular robot can move along as a complete unit, built up of around 100 smaller parts. But when faced with an impassable obstacle, some of these modules can detach and proceed as a smaller unit, or even on their own.
Once the obstacle has been passed, however, the smaller units will automatically recombine into the larger whole, enabling them to travel over different terrain once more.

Only a hundred smaller parts? Sounds more like… VOLTRON!!!
Come with me if you want to live!
I’d still rather have replicants. Like Rachel.

This is JUST the sort of thing all us gun nuts have been preparing for! When the robo-apocalypse comes, you can be DAMN sure we’ll be blasting away with our stockpiles of scaryrifles!
Freedom comes from a 7.62! Take THAT, you robo monstrosity!
Tuckerfan , you and I know what to do.

But…but…I’m saving those for the zombie apocolypse!
Why do you hate non-zombie America, Spoofe ?
It’s just a pogrom of genocide by zombie replicant terminator robots, not the freakin Apocolypse.
Get some perspective!
There’s a difference? Who knew?
They’re not replicants , they’re replicators , from Stargate SG-1.
Damnit…that’s the scary, “Terminator” tech development? I was expecting something like him. Like maybe someone had stuck a machine gun on an ASIMO, or something.
yawn Wake me when we’ve got some decent Killbots rolling off the assembly line. (So as to better carry out the wishes of Colossus, the once and future lord of Earth. Blessed be His name.)
As long as they can program them to say witty things like “Bite my shiny metal ass”, I’m all for it!
I’m telling you, it’s the rise of the machines!
Even the military’s getting in on the act!
The Unmanned Combat Armed Rotorcraft [UCAR] will be an all-weather, highly autonomous and survivable unmanned rotorcraft fully integrated into the Army’s objective force combat maneuver force structure. The system, which enables ground maneuver force superiority, will be capable of collaborating with multiple UCARs and other manned and unmanned systems. Unlike other unmanned aerial vehicles, however, the UCAR will not have a dedicated ground station.

Will this satisfy your blood lust, then?
The small village of Canneto di Caronia in Sicily has become the front line in the war of annihilation between humanity and Terminator-style roboappliances.
For three weeks terrified residents have battled for their very survival against spontaneously-combusting TVs, fridges and cookers which have damaged twelve houses and provoked a full-scale evacuation of the hamlet.

Oh wait, wrong movie. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Now, Cervaise , if I were to say what I was getting, it would derail the thread.
