Needs wheelchair access.. for robots.
Dunno, Mass Effect has it down pretty well, IMO. [IMG]http://images.wikia.com/masseffect/images/1/15/YMIR_Mech.png[/IMG] These things have the most intimidating voices...
Wow, that's nothing like what I was expecting; Wall-E looks more menacing than that. I looking for at least something like the steambots from Metroid and those things are clunky as all hell. [thumb]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110222000913/metroid/images/2/2c/Steambot.png[/thumb]
You know, I don't think this would be any better if it looked more intimidating. Right now it has the whole "psychological warfare" thing going on, like when those American soldiers tortured Iraqi terrorists with Barney.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;33471281]Except that Zero is Japanese? In fact I'm quite sure all Megaman characters are Japanese.[/QUOTE] I'm aware of that, but it's also extremely popular in South Korea too. If I'm not mistaken, they're actually exclusively releasing a new Mega Man game there.
What's to keep them from just pushing it over?

Technology is great when we can beat people with it
All an inmate has to do is say a paradox to get it to unlock all the cells.
[QUOTE=Article]and the folks behind the bots are apparently doing their best to keep things from turning into too much of a dystopian future -- they're now said to working on making the robots appear more "humane and friendly."[/QUOTE]Yes let's make them fluffy and cute That'll teach the evil criminals

Untill the inmates turn against it, rape it in the shower and it leaves his robot wife and robot children without a dad.

[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;33472053]I'm aware of that, but it's also extremely popular in South Korea too. If I'm not mistaken, they're actually exclusively releasing a new Mega Man game there.[/QUOTE] Oh that's right, they were making an online game there, weren't they? However I think it got cancelled. Trailer was cool, though.
I'd probably design it to make it look like a buffed up, ironical prison cliche. Also, it'd tell jokes! :v: [h2]prison jokes[/h2]
I was expecting some Protoss-esque mech...
Prisoners are attempting to escape?!?!?! [img]http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/daleks.jpg[/img] [b]EXTERMINATE!! EXTERMINATE!![/b]
Don't let the looks fool you; the moment "inmate unrest detected" goes on, it pops out miniguns and flamethrowers from it's sides. Or it transforms into Jailbot. [IMG]http://jailbot.com/image/jailbot1.png[/IMG] God help them

I'd really, really appreciate it."
Something similar to that but built heavier and stronger with tear gas valves or maybe an aim able taser would be great for a prison, maybe make it easier to control riots.

Do most of you not realize that this robot is not for confrontational security in any way, shape, or form? Or am I just not understanding the humor.
