War porn: Three killbots now patrolling for jihadis in Iraq
posted at 7:55 pm on August 3, 2007 by Allahpundit
Via Danger Room. As freaky deaky anti-Bush Japanese robot head is a baby step towards Westworld, so is this sweet little butch a new milestone on the road to the anti-jihadi combat soldier of the future.
Total hotness power: Equivalent to one KP plus one Julie Banderas.

I’ll take a horde of nasty looking rolling Jihadi perforators over a creepy looking humanoid thing.

Oh Allah that was so hot,
nothing could be better on Friday
night than good ol’ war porn.
canopfor on August 3, 2007 at 8:12 PM
Step behind Ace on posting this one, still I love to watch the video.
And the total hotness factor is: one Mike Baker augmented by KP and JB in either arm… possibly a bill schultz in the background.
TheEJS on August 3, 2007 at 8:16 PM
War porn! I love it!
If you’re not inclined to watch this whole vid, I would encourage you to watch it anyway. I saw this on cable and they use three of these in concert to corner a suspect. Very cool!
csdeven on August 3, 2007 at 8:19 PM
I’ll take two!
;)
Yakko77 on August 3, 2007 at 8:24 PM
They oughta build a jumbo one with one of these on it. Call it the Meat Grinder.
Bad Candy on August 3, 2007 at 8:24 PM
And how does that combo above stack up against an iPhone?
PatrickS on August 3, 2007 at 8:28 PM
I’m sure that humping robot would approve.
CyberCipher on August 3, 2007 at 8:28 PM
Pardon me, I will be stepping out for a pack of cigarettes.
RushBaby on August 3, 2007 at 8:30 PM
May the Force be with them.
jediwebdude on August 3, 2007 at 8:30 PM
This is the prototype. The T-1 model will be operational momentarily.

Awesome….I was waiting for Jack Black to be holding up a pack of cigarettes in the video. “Told you it was off.”
sunny on August 3, 2007 at 8:41 PM
I haven’t worked all the math, but I’m guessing it’s in the neighborhood of one Helen Thomas and one iPhone.

Randy Rourke puts me in mind of a Carrol Shelby or Ralph Delorien of the muscle car era. With these systems actually going into combat my guess is we’re going to see the real Freaky Deaky real soon. We have plenty of certified psycho’s who for many years have had to play make beleive. Lets see if we mount a tree chipper behind a harvester awe never mind………..
sonnyspats1 on August 3, 2007 at 8:55 PM
Alright! Got no problem with these, but let’s not forget the Predator robot planes already drew first blood long before by taking Taliban jeeps and tracks with Maverick missiles! Let’s hope these ground pounders can carry the torch with honor!

For real! That’s what I’m talkin about. I am definitely excited. . . I don’t know if that means ‘scared’.
Time for robocop or the clone wars. Who needs to boost recruitment for the military? Just build about 5 million of these. UNDER WATER – DUDE!
But also dude, KP doesn’t belong in the same universe as Julie Banderas, or Rebecca Gomez. There are some serious models on Fox delivering the news.
ThackerAgency on August 3, 2007 at 9:21 PM
See this story Allah ?
IS chance that new head of the taliban is dead
William Amos on August 3, 2007 at 9:22 PM
I’ll see your KP plus one Julie Banderas and raise you one Katherine Ham and Michele Malkin.
Hotness indeed.
Kini on August 3, 2007 at 9:29 PM
Jihadinator! Wait till you see model 101.
BDavis on August 3, 2007 at 9:53 PM
Good stuff.
… on the hotness side, I think Amy Kellogg is pretty sharp.
Zorro on August 3, 2007 at 10:07 PM
Need input. More input!! Who’s Johnny?
Bicyea on August 3, 2007 at 10:29 PM
Let’s get them on the border.
Hening on August 3, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Excellent! I love muj killin’ robots!
Oh and Megyn Kelly is the hottest babe on Fox!
Tony737 on August 3, 2007 at 11:09 PM
Second the Megyn Kelly too. I couldn’t say no to her. I wonder what type of guys they like. I’m sure they love antisocial conservative bloggers like us.
ThackerAgency on August 3, 2007 at 11:13 PM
What, no Hot Pocket next to the operator?
New military slogan: “We’re looking for a few good thumbs.”
I second that Amy Kellogg is hot.
Graybark on August 3, 2007 at 11:13 PM
Look! Servos!
km on August 3, 2007 at 11:21 PM
Gary Larson from the mid 80s. Prophetic.
csdeven on August 3, 2007 at 11:33 PM
Well, that puts they kybosh on the whole “sending our boys to die” thing…
What’s the liberal objection to this kind of military going to be? I know, I know, they’ll say, “It’s not fair to the enemy!”
unamused on August 3, 2007 at 11:33 PM
Wait it kills the enemy and drives the moonbats crazy at the same time.
Folks I think we have a winner.
Mojack420 on August 3, 2007 at 11:35 PM
I love killer robots as much as the rest of the gang here, but what’s to stop Joe Jihad from running up behind it and throwing a blanket over the camera?
Hannibal Smith on August 3, 2007 at 11:42 PM
The other robots, obviously.
Bad Candy on August 3, 2007 at 11:52 PM
These killbots are nice, Allah, but I need something stealthier for the work I have in mind. If someone can hook me up with a mechanical housefly with polonium poop, I’ll take care of the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, stat.
Kralizec on August 3, 2007 at 11:54 PM
Exterminating meatbags is my business, and business is good.
ticticboom on August 4, 2007 at 12:07 AM
I wonder what these things cost and what an RPG would do to it. That’s not to say this thing wouldn’t have it’s applications.
Maxx on August 4, 2007 at 1:34 AM
They’re already saying it. Read the comments on YouTube. They’re mostly revolting.
mojojojo on August 4, 2007 at 1:53 AM
Meatbags? …where have I heard that?…KOTOR?
EnochCain on August 4, 2007 at 2:25 AM
Rodger that. Everybody needs one of these. Say the neighbors’ dog’s infernal yapping at night is becoming a nuisance… well then …
Maxx on August 4, 2007 at 2:43 AM
Unfortunately, these amazing machines are no match for the enemy’s greatest weapon: the political correctness of the Western media.
Halley on August 4, 2007 at 3:10 AM
Number 5 is ALIVE!
(and he is kicking butt)
LegendHasIt on August 4, 2007 at 3:43 AM
I do however believe that a trained shooter who is technologically aware could more than hold his own against such a device. In the end, is is warrior versus ‘gamer’ and in real life, eight times out of ten, the warrior should win.
LegendHasIt on August 4, 2007 at 3:58 AM
Unfortunately you’re right. But this is a step closer to a better warbot. We’ve got to start somewhere.
Dark-Star on August 4, 2007 at 8:30 AM
Sad but true
Ordinary1 on August 4, 2007 at 9:48 AM
Folks, this is how Allah has a “wargasim”
conservnut on August 4, 2007 at 9:50 AM
Ah, a fellow gamer? Yes, HK-47 calling me meatbag..er master in Knights of the Old Republic was the first time I heard that term. Anybody who’s ever played turnbased tactical strategy games like Microprose’s X-com from the early 90′s or the more recent Cenega titles UFO Aftermath, Aftershock or Afterlight is familiar with the benefit of having a robot weapons platform next to you getting zorched by Mutons and Sectoids.
I sincerely hope they put a speaker on these killer robots so the operator can mock the jihadi’s as he’s mowing them down. ‘Tell the virgins you got killed by a robot you b*lless d*ckweed.’ Given the current state of Hollywood, I’m sure we can expect a movie where the robots are being used to mow down Americans, however. Lord knows we don’t have spy movies where other nations are the bad guys, just our own government ex. The Bourne Fabrication..Pronounciation? Ah! I’ve got it! The Bourne Masturbation!
austinnelly on August 4, 2007 at 10:41 AM
Never give a potential future opponent weapons.
Keep this to a minimum.
The Jihad can ve beaten because it is 7th century.
The head of the cybernetic revolution should be kept out of our aresenals.
Who knows what’ll they’ll think one day.
profitsbeard on August 4, 2007 at 11:03 AM
So they gonna hire the world counterstrike champions to operate these?
This’d lend a new meaning to holding the next CS tournament live. Deploy a few dozen of these not to compete against each other but to have a frag competition. The team that frags the most jihadis over a weekend wins first prize …
Aylios on August 4, 2007 at 12:13 PM
Soon we will have legions of these things.
Can you imagine 50,000 of these things being dropped behind enemy lines?
What they need is a way to self-destruct, if captured.
Also this would be a perfect flame thrower platform.
TheSitRep on August 4, 2007 at 12:22 PM
BattleBots! BattleBots! BattleBots!
dm60462 on August 4, 2007 at 1:30 PM
Outstanding. Terminator – Cyberdyne Systems Model 001.
I’ll be back.
bloviator on August 4, 2007 at 1:45 PM
Awesome, it looks like it can deliver a world of hurt. On the other side, however, it looks like small arms fire could hurt it severely. Can it right itself if turned over? And what happens if it loses a radio contact? Does it default to a “Kill everything moving” mode? Price might be good to know as well…
Still, moving in the right direction.
Anyone ever see “Aliens, the extended cut” The space Marines deployed autonomous machine gun tripods set to destroy everything that entereed its field of fire. Very similar to this.
redshirt on August 4, 2007 at 2:16 PM
You know… when you called them “Kill Bots” instantly I thought of Futurama…
Jones Zemkophill on August 4, 2007 at 7:23 PM
I love future weapons…
