SKYNET SMILES, KNOWING THAT THE TERMINATOR FINALLY HAS A BEST FRIEND TO ROMP AROUND WITH: Watch: Flamethrowing robot dog goes on sale.
A US company has built a flamethrowing robot dog that is available for purchase online.
Called the Thermonator, the four-legged robot comes equipped with an ARC Flamethrower mounted on its back, which is capable of shooting jets of fire up to 30 feet.
Designed by Ohio-based firm Throwflame, the $9,420 (£7,600) robot is not advertised as a weapon, with the manufacturer suggesting possible uses include wildlife control, snow and ice removal and general entertainment.
Throwflame described its creation as the world’s first-ever flamethrowing quadruped robot dog, capable of delivering “on-demand fire anywhere”.
What could possibly go wrong?!
