think of the psyche in the battlefield.. not only are we going to destroy you.. we're going to eat your army.. nom nom nom

why though. It doesnt seem like the focus is to dispose of carcasses. What does this robot do?
Or is this just the first platform where the robot can fuel itself by 'eating'?

"yes, it is my grave and unfortunate duty to inform you that your husband fell in the line of duty while performing a great service to his country. here are his personal effects and here is a baggie in which we scooped up as much of what we think was him after the HUM-V shat him out. america thanks you for your sacrifice."

I'm OK with the eating corpses thing, because those things get nasty after awhile.
But where will these robots shit?

Hmm, this news makes me feel very conflicted.
On the one hand, we will have an army of corpse eating robots on hand when the zombies attack, and lets face it that can only be good.
However, on the other hand, I have a sneaking feeling that once the robots develop a taste for human flesh they may attack us long before the zombie uprising.

if anything in this world had a BIG RED FLAG on it, I think this would be it. Or am I just being silly?
- why didn't they go the sexbot route? surely, that would have been a better use of funding7point34
- Im in full agreement. the phrase "battlefield robots that fuel themselves by eating human corpses" cannot be a good thingshitehawke

Personally, if we have the means to create this sort of thing why don't we just take humans out of the war concept completely and just stage massive robot wars instead?
Imagine how popular war would be then. No need to hoodwink the masses into believing war is a necessary path to peace, they could just advertise upcoming conflicts and make a fucking fortune from ticket sales and pay-per-view.

I dunno spooks, the prospect of a hardened, nigh-invunerable robot army fills me with a slight bit of fear too.
Unless they all looked like johnny 5, then I suppose its be easy to knock them over.

start of with a 'ginal blood sucking robot. lots of ladies in the army nowadays and quite comfie when you don't have your tampax at hand when doing a massacre somewhere in an Afghanistan village..
