OCTOR robot tentacle slithering your way

In the grand annals of military-funded robotics experiments, OCTOR may not have quite the same level of cred as, say, Crusher, but that doesn't mean the bot isn't useful. The current version consists of one long tentacle that, like an elephant's trunk, can be used to pick up and manipulate objects. The tentacle is powered by compressed air, and uses a range of sensors and cameras to move in three dimensions and relay info back to base. Potential applications being touted by the bot's developers include reconnaissance and bomb disposal, but they can't fool us. We've seen "Spiderman 2," and we know what those tentacles are really for.

And what happens if you step on the trump, it suffocates?

Come on, it's clear that they stole the idea for that tentacle from Nintendo.

I've seen "La Blue Girl" and I know what those tentacles are really for.

I've got an idea...
...put this tentacle thing on the end of the 'BigDog' 4 legged robot as a neck; then attach an evil looking cabbage patch doll head with glowing eyes on the end.

Have it do its disturbing shuffle down the streets to enforce childrens curfew. Just imagine some 4 legged beasty with a 3 foot neck and a scary kids/doll head prancing around late night peeking in the windows of your home.

(make sure to cover up the motor noise with a bullhorn playing maniacle laughter for added effect)

What? A man can dream can't he?

Put a hat on that thing and it's ready for New Years Eve.
