A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
first you robot fuckers
I for one can't wait for the war between humans and robots to start.
You know those ammo shortages in America?
That was me !!!
Don’t Tase Me, Ro-Bro!
You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl's Jr.
HEY doesnt the asian man look like an Asian version of Micheal Jackson?
It's the cute version of ED-209
Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply.
You now have 15 seconds to comply.
You are in direct violation of Penal Code 1.13, Section 9.
You have 5 seconds to comply.
Four... three... two... one... I am now authorized to use physical force!
I want to see its face turn evil and it to start dispensing smoke grenades.
I'm waiting for it's face to turn evil then realizing it has no lethal weapons, runs you down then ever so slowly, runs you over and crushes your body while laughing.
That would be even scarier to see its cute smile was it's firing.
Like a baby laughing while using a flame launcher for example ...
$150,000 and no machine gun?
you mean lasers right?
So I guess this means after I case the joint, I get to be chased by a BSoD on wheels?
face_plain
Wall-E anyone?
...HALT!...
ROGUE ROBOT
Try blue...IT'S THE NEW RED!!!
"Hi, I'm here to kill you and your whole family!"
Looks like a close cousin of the dalek's.
If barney and a dalek had a child, it would be this robot.
"I love....exterminating you!"
O_o
o_O
@_@
ಠ_ಠ
that thing will be the death of us all, just you wait and see
It's so cute until I punches you in the balls with that goofy smile on its face!
"and missing children alerts one any of its three touchscreen LCDS"... type-o's
... should be "and missing children alerts on any of its three touchscreen LCD's"...
...and that robot is ill, i want one.
Does it even fit through a standard doorway?
...criminals and child abductors can now find the nearest exit or restroom with ease!
no more taxes!
440 pounds and working security at a mall? sounds like a thinner Paul Blart to me.
someone actually watched that movie?
Seriously is this how the downfall of man starts. One day, Robot mall cop. Next the supreme rulers of earth.
you have 15 seconds to comply.
Then the Gatling Gun comes out!
I feel engadget has already been infiltrated by the robots. There wasn't a single dry witticism in regards to our immanent enslavement by our robotic overlords, or robolords if you will.
Holy hell, it's Jailbot 2.0!
Straight out of Superjail - eerie! I wonder if it can rip you to shreds?
needs more flame throwers
It's all cute now until the 400lb robot crush a kid...it can start the robot revolution leading to end of mankind.
Lol, Japan for president.
this robot reminds me of the "satchi"s from Dennou Coil except that his one is blue and not as creepy.
I was thinking the same thing! All it needs are laser beams on it's belly and it's the perfect security guard.
you just need 4 of those security bots. I think they're called Kyu-chans or something.
now you just need a really really creepy voice saying, "boku satchi!"
ALSOK missed a great opportunity - they should've had "boku satchi" displayed on the LED thing!
Looks like the antivirus of Dennō Coil
Bring on Nanny Bot 1.0
"SLEEP LITTLE DUMPLING, I HAVE REPLACED YOUR MOTHER!!!!!"
SATCHI!
Exterminate. EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
if the robot show a happy face then you don't need to worry.
Instead, if the robot show a unhappy face then just run like hell.
Nice, 150 grand for a smiling billboard on wheels. :P
