i was JUST thinking about this! Like when pat says "why 2 directions? why 4? make it spin!" and I thought...rolling bomb like a...voltorb

They Voltorbs and Electrodes would be extremely effective against an enemy as dumb as the Space Pirates leaving tubes everywhere to sneak in.

*Diamond/Pearl Pokedex entry for Electrode:* _"It is known to drift on winds if it is bloated to bursting with stored electricity."_ You think you can outsmart it by going up stairs- _it's just a big dumb ball,_ you think, _it can't follow me up here!_ But then, to your horror, you see the bastard start building up electrical energy. and instead of just exploding like you'd expect, it starts _floating after you!_

but it can DAISETSUZAN OROSHI

THEY ALSO DO THE SPINING TOP THING

wow

And their bodies disassemble and they shoot lasers everywhere!

in Terminator Salvation, there were motorbike Terminators, in other words, just self-driving motorbikes with guns attached to them

*I* WANT THAT

You ghostwrote this poem 10 minutes ago.

Z W I was about to comment something about nuclear, time traveling abortions or some shite and then, all the of sudden, I just... Blacked out then I came to not long after and I see this posted already... Though I did find some horrible smelling, sticky mush in my mouth. Almost like... From a swamp...

Admiral Pepper It would seem once again the Hole claims another innocent soul

Praise the Hole.

Just shove the wall of lightsabers in Luke's face, what is he gonna do about it?

Matthew Triolo nah fuck that, give him inspector gadget stretchy legs so he can always have The High Ground.

K. Flynn yeah they should also make him immune to sand as well i heard they did it for Vader

Matthew Triolo he's got a special button that sandblasts his nipples so he can enter rage mode

force push it back into him?

Being intimidating doesn't mean for shit when you're already dead

Well a smaller wheeled robot would be subject to the finer problems, like being unable to get back on it’s treads should it be kicked or thrown over. And the question now isn’t one of resources or cost, if there was everything piled into creating a human-like robot with no apparent limit on the future of technology, a robot with the apparent capabilities compared to humans may as well have superpowers. An Android would have much more purpose and use in a fight than just something that’s designed to kill with 100% efficiency, it’s hard to kill things when it’s not possible to get to them. A human-like would be able to break doors and clear through tight buildings. Basically if you took a kill-box and paired with a set of agile terminators there’d be little that could stand in their way.

I simply question whether a treaded robot can fulfill as many things as one built around a human form can, of course if the entire goal is to kill everything as fast and as efficiently as possible, you’d just glass everything with nuclear weapons or chemical weapons. But if the entire purpose of these robots is to be placed in a war, a human-ish robot can complete tasks that the other can’t. A robot on tracks isn’t going to be rather subtle and probably can’t do things that require more finesse like say rescuing a hostage, of course a android-like isn’t going to boast as much firepower as one can strap onto something that was conceived to own all of it but in return you gain a much wider range of mobility and use. As far as the uses go for the robot on treads is securing an area or completely crushing an opposition, not to mention fingers are extremely versatile tools even just robot ones built to mimic it, and I think a human-like would be able to get up much faster than a tank-like could push itself back upright.

well I mean it would depends on the situation. no one size fits all.

Although as far as Metal Gear goes, it needs legs. The whole point of the MG Rex model is to be able to launch a nuke from anywhere. And some of these potential areas wouldn't be easily accessible by tank treads.

You need legs fot terrestrial units you can't just fly everywere what about gas? Also you get shot in the booster and have 0 mobility ?

Gundams have arms and legs so they can maneuver precisely in space without having to fire jets and shit.

Real life robots are being made right now, Boston Dynamics has several models of real robots and they all have legs because legs are infinitely more efficient on all terrain.

wasnt there literally a pair of motorbike terminators in salvation? Exactly what woolie wanted?

Quick! Tell them that Robosapiens are a good idea!

yes, but controlling something with your brain would be wierd if it didnt have legs or arms, tanks work if you are controlling it without the need for your brain to be in there

One dragon can't beat seven thousand skeletons.

I fucking hope you are joking, a dragon could totally beat 7,000 Skeletons.

No! Don't give up, skeleton!

A thank is a powerful weapon with IA even more,but is not the solution for every problem of the world what about rescue,killing specefic targets,bulding small devices, helping people to climb stairs. The problem with woolie is that he wants to eliminate everything that it looks cool and creative with that logic I can say Every human should wear the same clothes.

K. Flynn I think you mean Droidy Cars.

sleepofgiants nope

Well if you take the retcon from terminator 3, the creation of skynet was inevitable so...

No it's a mini nuke that blows up in his brain

They'd need to to pierce/crush opponents Unless it was a tank, leverage/height advantage is a bitch.

Kickback lets be honest, cybertronians are just people who happen to be robots, not robots that happen to look like people.

Yeah, that's fair but still, their whole thing is that they can transform into potential Woolie-desired rolling death machines. They're the best of both worlds!

Which is why after sending one email, I'm not bothered to send another. They have to look through waaay too many of them for the past how many years already? I'm not going to add to that headache lol XD

You should get some postcard writing tips from Judgement Kazzy. He got read on that radio show!

EpicGamingRevolution You're making the massive assumption that intelligence inherently has anthropomorphic qualities.

Twilight Zone moment: People already create AI that has the potential to destroy us ... and that AI is OTHER PEOPLE! There is no reason why a machine program would even have a reason for what it does, so the action would be *entirely* a result of man-made circumstances. The most annoying thing to watch about AI debates is that someone at a tech company might one day mess up and cause a global disaster, but superstition will allow them to blame it on 'AI or the algorithms', and they will treat their tech as if it has its own capacity for culpability; and enough people might be fooled into thinking that it does.

What assumption Im simply stating how humans ourselves have an intangible and possibly fictitious creator but people still find meaning in those teachings. Imagine having a tangible creator that you live alongside. Also there's the argument some schools of engineering model their machines after designs from nature because nature designs things far more efficiently than the human mind. If anything you're making the assumption that something Self-Aware wouldn't try to find meaning within it's creators especially if they are right there, and you're also making the assumption nature is inefficient in its design.

EpicGamingRevolution A view of evolution's 'designs' is simply nature never having to admit to making any mistakes.

>no one has experienced Tay AI I am disappointed, she was literally an example of AI taking on Anthropomorphic qualities. And then they killed her.

Is also the biggest part of the body, so you can put a cockpit there and reinforce it. Otherwise you problably have to create a HUGE mech so you can install the cockpit and keep it secure. Like the Zeong in the Original Gundam, which was big enough to hav de cockpit intalled on the head instead of the torso.

I'm not specifically talking about the cockpit being in the chest, I'm talking about the entrance being in the front. To make it more clear, Gundams having the FRONT of them open up is stupid, AS's from Full Metal Panic having it at the nape of the neck is smart. In both scenarios the cockpit is in the chest but having a door, which is a huge structural weakness in the most exposed area bothers me. There's a reason why most military vehicles irl have their doors on the back or top.

Why do we have that canopy right in the front of the Jet fighter? It's such a weak point!

Jsay18 The canopy on a jet is there for visibility, which mechs don't deal with since most have cameras in the head. Honestly a jet doesn't even need one if it had cameras mounted on it like a drone or mech does. Even then that doesn't matter because one missile would fuck up a plane if it hit anywhere but the edge of the wing or tail. Most planes are built for evasion, not durability.
