Seriously? Mech-war already?

Mizzou B-ball fan · 03-23-2009, 10:00 AM

I had no idea that we are already deploying experimental mech-fighters in the war in Afghanistan. I'm glad that I'm not the one that's going to have stare a 'Big Dog' down.

Robots Take Center Stage in U.S. War in Afghanistan

It's like Terminator man!

It's the fucking beginning of the fucking end. Get your fucking fallout shelters ready and start stockpiling weapons - in a matter of months-to-years the metal will turn on us!!

with the rise of drone aircraft, robots on the ground are inevitable.

House Davion approves of this technology.

DaddyTorgo · 03-23-2009, 10:12 AM

House Vernius of Ix approves as well

We'll be fighting both of them.

Crim · 03-24-2009, 07:51 AM

Well, alright, but if there's gonna be giant prehistoric sharks we'll be screwed.

The ending of BSG is looking more scary!!

I think the robots will be neutral, maybe leaning toward the zombies, until you're laying on the ground, just about to be brutally murdered by a zombie, when much to everyone's surprise, a robot shoots the zombie in the back.

Probably should program them to go for the head.

gstelmack · 03-24-2009, 10:28 AM

Bah, these are just transport drones. When they get the anti-sniper robots that were discussed a few years back working, then we have something to talk about.

Although the quadrepedal movement is cool.

Unless of course there are Zombie Scientists that have tampered with the base code of the robots to program the robots to shoot anything with a heat signature between the range of 97 - 103 degrees fahrenheit.

Sure, your Arnold Schwarzeneggeresque predator avoidance technique of slathering mud with only work until the Zombie Scientists adapt Echocardiography technology onto the robots. Then we are all fucked. Us, lions, baby kittens... no one will escape the heat seaking echocardiograph equipped killer robots.

Except cold-blooded reptiles.

So now you're saying we'd have to fight lizard people, too. Just great!

SI

Reptiles have hearts.

The echocardiography enchanced robots will pickup on the echo of any heartbeat and destroy.
