These are not good boys
If you encounter one of these, absolutely don’t pet it. Instead, kick it. Run over it. Perhaps, light that little robot fucker on fire. But definitely don’t pet it.
you have 20 seconds to comply
The body is Rottweiler-sized, segmented into overlapping hard plates like those of a rhinoceros. The legs are long, curled way up to deliver power, like a cheetah’s. It must be the tail that makes people refer to it as a Rat Thing, because that’s the only ratlike part - incredibly long and flexible.
The grass under the Rat Thing is beginning to smoke.
“Careful. Supposedly they have really nasty isotopes inside,” Hiro says behind her… “A radioactive substance that makes heat. That’s its energy source.”
“How do you turn it off?”
“You don’t. It keeps making heat until it melts.”
The body converges to a sharp nose. In the front it bends down sharply, and there is a black canopy, raked sharply like the windshield of a fighter plane. If the Rat Thing has eyes, this is where it looks out.
As part of Mr. Lee’s good neighbor policy, all Rat Things are programmed never to break the sound barrier in a populated area. But Fido’s in too much of a hurry to worry about the good neighbor policy. Jack the sound barrier. Bring the noise.
Isn’t this a perfect foreign adversary opportunity for spying on U.S. political figures?
Just integrate your own robot dog, or compromise an existing one. And surveillance away.
Foreign adversaries already had Trump installed. Why would they need to go through extra work.
Hell - the new Director of Intelligence is a Russian asset.
I’m sure the secret service is absolutely thrilled.

I have zero faith in our institutions. They’ll quietly do their jobs until the dictator has them purged.
Level 3000 hack: compromise security with drone fleas that jump onto drone dogs.
Level 9000 hack: join the pack with a drone attack dog.
I’d like to pet it with a .50 cal.
Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?
If they appeared with guns, wouldn’t the robodogs also be strapped?
But despite their many impressive features, the devices can be taken down.
“You just have to spray it with Aqua Net hairspray in its ‘face’,” Cummings said. “And that would be enough to stop the cameras from working correctly.”
FYI
Definitely don’t Google “2K spray paint” because it’s impossible to remove and you can seriously damage surveillance devices with it, like cameras and stuff I dunno
Small Soldiers also taught us how to turn an electric pole transformer into an improvised EMP device. That turns the dogs off.
Probably because Trump hates real dogs.
I think the bronzer has a bad effect on them.
will it also say “move along citizen there is nothing to pet here” in a male robot voice?
It can, but it comes out more like “ROOVE ARONG RITIZEN!”

Ah life really does imitate art
Wouldn’t be surprised if it was named after the game. These guys like to name their companies nerdy sinister names on purpose. Like Palantir
I feel an urge to go play Horizon Zero Dawn now.
You just reminded me I need to pick that back up.
Shitty ass movie life
They’re guard dogs
Because real dogs refuse the job.
