Recycled Citro�n parts used to create fire-breathing robo dog

There's something about fire-breathing robots that just gets us giddy, so you can imagine our joy when finding one that gallops, too. The hand-built robot dog -- cutely coined LRRY-1 (pronounced Larry, we'll have you know) -- was built almost entirely from unwanted Citroën scraps, and not a single ounce of non-recycled material was used in the final construction. No idea if it's technically street legal, but we'd love to see a traffic warden try to get this thing back in its cage. Video is posted after the break.

Maybe not the traffic warden . . . maybe the dogcatcher instead.

Fire Breathing Robot dog...FROM HELL

[Joe Rogan @ Dec 13th 2008 12:24PM]

my vet does not accept this type of breed

[Konstantin @ Dec 13th 2008 1:53PM]

Though it has only one head, I believe Cerberus is the name you were looking for.

[Samboini @ Dec 13th 2008 11:27AM]

Wait until it starts pissing napalm up a lamp-post.

[derX @ Dec 13th 2008 11:29AM]

This NEEDS to be in a Christmas parade. Just tweak it a bit, and we have a fire-blowing Rudolph. This time, he wins over the other reindeer not with kindness but with BRUTE FORCE.

[Saad Rabia @ Dec 13th 2008 11:31AM]

KILL IT WITH Fi...

Holly Shit!

[Samboini @ Dec 13th 2008 11:33AM]

I didn't know plants could defecate. Amazing.

[bill cant fart @ Dec 13th 2008 11:34AM]

My dog can beat up your dog.

[Samboini @ Dec 13th 2008 12:07PM]

My dad can beat off your dad.

[cwj @ Dec 13th 2008 11:35AM]

yeah. that's hawt.

[Xenoterranos @ Dec 13th 2008 11:42AM]

Now THATS the way to void your warranty!

[Kirk @ Dec 13th 2008 11:45AM]

Entertaining, Can I have a toy dog version?

[hamza @ Dec 13th 2008 11:49AM]

That is probably one of the most awesome things ever!!!

[Artie Lange @ Dec 13th 2008 11:54AM]

I'd like to see the Dog Whisperer try to tame this.

[MarcC @ Dec 13th 2008 12:21PM]

And for the first time ever Caesar Milan agrees with the owner, this dog need to be put down.

[artie Lange @ Dec 13th 2008 1:08PM]

Only after Ceasar took it back to his Dog Psychology Center, where this thing promptly killed his entire pack.

[Nitecrawlah2 @ Dec 13th 2008 12:07PM]

Fuck Tickle Me Elmo, I want THIS for Christmas!

[David D @ Dec 13th 2008 12:09PM]

I wonder what it's shit looks like.

[Samboini @ Dec 13th 2008 12:17PM]

TNT

[KAIKAI @ Dec 13th 2008 3:46PM]

wtf is rong with ur head ?

[ProfessorKaos @ Dec 13th 2008 12:21PM]

OMG SUPER COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crazylink @ Dec 13th 2008 12:22PM]

One step closer to Fahrenheit 451.

[Rik @ Dec 13th 2008 12:36PM]

Cool, people around the thing actually appeared to be quite afraid LOL!

[Kelly @ Dec 13th 2008 12:47PM]

That's how we do it down in Texas

[Samboini @ Dec 13th 2008 12:49PM]

Apart from this isn't Texas, you fucking moron.

[Kris120890 @ Dec 13th 2008 1:02PM]

Whats texas got to do with this.

[maveric101 @ Dec 13th 2008 2:48PM]

wow samboini chill out. not like he attacked you personally; maybe just describing his home town or something.

[Imran @ Dec 13th 2008 12:49PM]

Ha he says shitreon. Damn, if only I knew where this was happening I would've gone out with camera to capture it.

[Richy @ Dec 13th 2008 12:53PM]

Citreon scrap? Or, in other words a 2 year old C4. Still, better than a robot car that dances like your dad (look it up on YouTube non-UK readers).

[BuddyBoy @ Dec 13th 2008 1:05PM]

he clearly says it's a 2CV not a C4

[Winwood @ Dec 13th 2008 1:02PM]

Sooo, killing it with fire is out of the question then ... ? It looks very impressive in any case.

[Wyatt @ Dec 13th 2008 1:12PM]

What would happen if this thing had a kid?

[DirtyVegas @ Dec 13th 2008 1:18PM]

That's pretty sissy music for a robot dog. Bring on some Fear Factory!

[FelipeCalderon @ Dec 13th 2008 1:23PM]

Reminds me of "Mad Max" , "Blade Runner" or more recently "Underworld"....pretty cool stuff.

[bridgettic @ Dec 19th 2008 11:46AM]

omg total mad max.. I want that guy on my side

[notwithnucleararms @ Dec 13th 2008 1:55PM]

am I the only one that is instantly reminded of dog from HL2?

[kr @ Dec 13th 2008 2:07PM]

Came in here to say it.

[dBs @ Dec 13th 2008 2:06PM]

The head of that "dog" looks more like the head of Jeff Goldblum in The Fly. Scary either way though!

[absurdio @ Dec 13th 2008 2:15PM]

Man. Nothin' like a handmade fire-breathing robot dog to make digital picture frames look boring as hell.

Incidentally, the next post is for a digital picture frame.

[kevin @ Dec 13th 2008 2:35PM]

HOG DOG!

[G @ Dec 13th 2008 2:50PM]

it would be better if it could run imo

[Skorpius @ Dec 13th 2008 2:57PM]

Have to walk before you can run, son.

[Jeff Moralde @ Dec 13th 2008 3:07PM]

Nice lighter!

[Matt @ Dec 13th 2008 3:47PM]

Down boy! Who's a good little fire breathing dog? who is? who is? lol

[g3n3tix @ Dec 13th 2008 4:31PM]

Fire as turn indicator lights.
Neat.

[The Number 1 Cubs Fan @ Dec 13th 2008 4:42PM]

Only one word: KICKASS!

[GaryZ @ Dec 13th 2008 4:59PM]

now that's a HOT DOG!

[neotokyo7 @ Dec 13th 2008 7:09PM]

I really hope they dont create that fire breathing reindeer........it would be one step closer to the futurama evil santa reality.

Good News everyone! We just installed an iron door on our chimney.

[-slycooper_rocker- (lorddshadow the amazing) psn: shahanasalam @ Dec 13th 2008 10:32PM]

haha that's what i thought too. i guess we should blow up pluto preemptively.
