Avatar-Style Mechbot Takes First Steps

Apocalypse looks funner and funner:

“Our robot is the world’s first manned bipedal robot and is built to work in extreme hazardous areas where humans cannot go (unprotected),” said company chairman Yang Jin-Ho.

A pilot sitting inside the robot’s torso makes limb movements which are mimicked by Method-2, whose metal arms each weigh 130 kilograms (286 pounds).

The robot, more than twice the size of a tall man, is so heavy that it shakes the ground when it takes a step with a loud whirring of motors.

If it doesn’t have two GE minguns mounted on each forearm and a flamethrower mounted in the groin, it won’t be a party.

The Apocalypse may come just before technology reaches a point that would make it more unpleasant for the proles than it will be for the Aristocrats.

I’ve thought that with the scale of the economic wreckage, and the juxtaposition of diversified groups guaranteed to in-group and go at it, and panicked, r-ified elites desperate and willing to do anything to make the troublemakers go away, this would be an Apocalypse to remember.

But Avatar style mechbots stomping around, laying waste to all in their path, adds a whole new level of ITZ to the experience. All we need to do now is automate these babies, and you will have the Hunter/killers right out of Terminator.

Good times coming, and it just seems like it will get more and more fun the longer we wait.

Spread r/K Theory to all your friends, because it won’t be long before the mechbots arrive.
