Neat video and impressive if truly believable.

However, why spend to the bucks when I can by a green laser pointer that can blind the enemy and be focused enough to cut through steel and carry on my person without a permit.

That makes me more deadly because you never can see me coming.

I'll take one with a freaky deaky death ray please. In honor of Frank J's idea, we'll just call it Frank's Lasermatic 5000. It's gotta talk though - and have a creepy 50's robot voice. ; )

New Star Wars.

Thanks. I had seen that but I had forgotten. Shows one how forgettable/unremarkable those scenes were. Part of my problem is that I saw those things as more amphibious than reptilian, but if the original quote had said amphibians, I still would have not remembered.

Killbots you say?

Killbots? A trifle. It was simply a matter of outsmarting them.

You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down.

They look impressive, but everyone knows they can be defeated by an army of Jamaican-sounding lizards with blue grenades.

please

, someone edumacate this ignorant, uncool (now apparently old) guy what this is a reference to?

New Star Wars.

Also, you hear people talk about the “scary” possibility of human death as a result of robot malfunction, but I bet the rate would be far less than the rate of human death by human malfunction. One could say that error is the essence of being human.

On the AA-12 they should never say that it never needs to be cleaned.

The same was said about the M-16.

Peculiar nomenclature. AA-12 is also the NATO designation for the Russian R-77 air-to-air missile (also refered to in the west as the Adder, and less officially as the “Amraamski”).

DUDE! I want one. With one of those who needs the government to protect me? That is the ultimate! Maybe I’ll get 100 in case I need them.

That’s whas-sup.

1. Animation doesn’t impress me much. If it did, my vote goes for the TIE fighter.
2. Can I get one before the end of deer season?

…and even bullets that are deadly up to 120 feet but fall harmlessly by 800 feet.

Is this what happens when killbots get ED? Nothing like bringing a robot to an anticlimax.

Overheard at killbot boot camp: “Isaac H. Asimov, son, the best part of you ran down your father’s treads! What is your major malfunction?”

“I/O error at line 26, sir!”

The video that queued up after this one was one called “Holiday Party Tips“. I wonder if one of those tips was “Don’t get so drunk at your holiday party that you accidently hit the remote on your killbot…”

The AA-12 is the automatic shotgun the killbot is supposed to be toting. The video shows it armed with what looks like an M249.
