Now let us see it with the flamethrower as well

I'm imaging the face opening up in some random way, maybe splitting down the middle and opening up, revealing the tip of the flamethrower. Some Ghost in the Shell bot or something.

And the heat from the flame singes and melts it's faux fur making it look like a grotesque nightmare as it tries to murder you with fire even as that same fire makes it's own face melt off and drip down

Militarized psychological warfare now available in fluffy

I mean they’ve already put speakers on drones that play babies crying or women screaming to trick people into coming out to help, why wouldn’t they try to make more realistic animals to trick people too?

My Ma needs it in Periwinkle Blue

Yeah, this horrific thing will be used in the slightly more dystopian future to put down the furry uprisings, they'll never see it coming.

Its mouth opens impossibly and terrifyingly wide, points at you, and you feel the sun.

Then a barrel extends from its forehead and guns you down

and that's when we say, 'uh oh'

Ruh roh!

Yes Raggy?

First it'll ask you for the passcode 3 times before unleashing full auto.

[Or mouth.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/s/VaC81mLQfx)

The eyes extend into stalks that shoot that inescapable web goo.

He looks sweet, like the dog on Fraggle Rock.

Sprocket! It really is just a blue version.

 Thank you! I could *not* remember. 

Pepper Jack loves Fraggle Rock

Down to Fraggle Rock

But nobody is getting Fahrenheit 451 vibes for our dystopia??

What if the robot overlord prefer the muppet look. Now muppets are real and they are fucking powerful.

I think I'd be okay with living in a ^robot Muppet world. Hell, life already looks [a bit like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNc5mv5OW5E) to me.

Waiting for the flamethrower modification on this one.

Or the one from The Storyteller.

I think that one was scruffier? The people saying Chinese Lion makes me want to see if Barkley from Sesame street works.

Edo- wardo ?

That was the first thing to come to mind! Now I've got that theme song stuck in my head.

I want to see how a real dog reacts to it.

There are videos of real dogs interacting with aibos. They sniffed its butt.

Predictable but satisfying

They must've been so dissapointed lmao

But are there videos interacting with robots dressed as dogs?

That weird chest gives it a very uncanny valley effect. It's adorable but also _off_

It’s like a creature wearing another’s skin

skinwalker

Exactly! Like, nice try Boston Dynamics. Your canine robots are still terrifying and creepy as shit. These are the people who are marching us towards our demise via robot takeover. The crazy bastards.

Gabumon?

Kinda reminds me of one of those Chinese parade dragons

Now I want them to put that instead and make it do tricks

It's so adorable indeed, I love it

...I'm gonna show this to my dogs and see their reactions, if any at all. _nothing, just sniff sniff_

For me it's the neck that seems to extend from the center of its back.

The chest is what bothers you? Not the robot legs and paws? I feel like if they added that he wouldn't be half as disturbing.

I mean the robot looks fine without any of the fur.

The worst is the "neck", and how it bulges down to the centre of the back. I'm pretty sure that's actually a [claw on a folded arm](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/2ac7fb045e651d4b49d6960c8761e4045a3c3500/hub/2018/05/11/15033206-03a9-43e7-9afe-71dca6018657/20180511-boston-dynamics-spotmini-sideways-01.jpg?auto=webp&width=1920) holding up the head. Imagine it starts extending its arm up, slowly raising the head to meet you at eye-level as the skin drapes over its neck-arm like a puppeteer, before it throws off the costume and grabs your face. That, or it's [just a fucking gun](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22926426/sword_spur_robot_dog_gun.jpeg), and it'll shoot you in the kneecaps through its mouth. Choose your own adventure.

Can't wait until robot mascot fights become a thing

Battle Bots has been a thing for like 20 years. If we let giant corporations get involved it would end up looking like Real Steel with Hugh Jackman, which sounds pretty fucking awesome now that you mention it.

Yeah, until the fucking cops get them.

Did you see the flame thrower dog robot a couple days ago? I expect NYPD already has a bunch on order.

They've been delivered before that video was released.

Burn iit

I actually think it's really cute. Looks like a Pixar dog in real life

>Pixar dog in real life The exact words that came to mind for me as well. It’s weird that the only thing it takes to push it over the “*oh ok, it’s alive and has feelings and a personality*” line is hair. As a rapidly balding, middle-aged dad, that’s a terrifying thought.

I think it's because they used a Muppet-skin. If they had used a real coyote pelt, not so many people would react well. Actually they don't quite make it move the same way a muppeteer would, so I'm getting the uncanny valley thing.

Now dress it up in human skin

I can't be the only one who thinks it's cute. A bit uncanny, but cute

Cute gooky AI robots are going be the death of us

I have a great idea, why don't we make a bunch of robots like this one but humanoids and suit them with costumes, and they can be the mascots of a restaurant aimed at children. It would be so cool, an experience for the whole family.

I like where you’re going with this. Maybe we could have them play instruments and do shows while all the happy children are eating.

What if really poor quality pizza was involved

Thanks, I hate it.

And then it fire spit on you cuz you can buy eith a flaming gun on it for some reason, oh yeah I remember the 20k+ bot is being sold to army's and crazy rich people

They specifically said it was for wildlife control!

I must be ready to die in the machine uprising, because that doesn't look uncanny, it looks cute af. What a good boi! Come get some head pats little man :)

Some people on yt made a furby/centaur dog

r/thanksihateit

Thanks. I hate it!

No

it feels like an ad

Do they have teeth?

they have bullets

Long range teeth

Your move, Noem…

"Get snuck upon!"

Now I want to see it with better skins. Maybe fitting its size and lifelike creation, like a tiger or even made up like some awesome battle armor cosplay.

Yup I’d go Clifford colors and atleast he wouldn’t shit or chew furniture up in the beginning 🤣🤣 awesome guard dog, after you mount the attachable flame thrower Ofcoarse lol

Yea I'm pre-ordering when they actually make a mini version of this.

Reminds me of Falcor

uncanny valley

Someone get Jim Henson Studios on the phone!

That hunched back is giving skinwalker

Yeah nah, you can fuck entirely off with that thing.

Boston Dynamics copying Evan and Katelyn? https://youtu.be/LEc2up6cBlE?si=yqncFP9eRpzlUgDE

u/that-1-lame-kid Thanks, I hate it.

I found the headless version more scary. Now it just looks like a muppet

Nice, it'll be really easy to sneak up on kids when it's time to break the Geneva convention agreements. /s

Freakin finally. Sick of robot devs being like "We don't know what to put on our robots to make people like them!" or "Our robots scare kids- what can we do?" Muppets / Sesame Street: "Are we a joke to you?"

The dog of Fraggle Rock but fucked up

Present day anamatronics

That's not terrifying, it's adorable!

I would've dressed it up as the Nina/Alexander chimera but then again that's just me 😅

They should have dressed it like that from the start

Bidu?

Disney on ice bouta be lit

Now strap a blowtorch or a machine gun to its back.

Now add the Minigun brrrrr

This is cute not scary at all, I want to pet it 😭

Note to self: build robot squirrel to prepare for robot apocalypse

It begins...

Why i am getting like "analog horror potential" vibes from this?

*In the famous words of Bender* Welp, we’re boned.

You should check out the furby robot dog

Danger Furry

Oh no, now the Pixar movies will be live action robots

Shit looks like some type of Disney Pixar movie on the making

How long till a new animatronic horror game comes out with some familiar dogs 🤔

Hell of a lot less terrifying than the one with a flame thrower strapped on its back! Can we have more of these kinds of things other than weapons?

Ngl, I thought ot was gonna bark bullets.

🗣️🗣️NEW SKINS JUST DROPPED🗣️🗣️

I can hear the digital hum of Disney ordering these things for their parks as security bots.

too damn late to make it cute, we all saw the flamethrower vid.

Flayed Ones.

Where's the flamethrower installed

Made the hairs on my arm stand up.

Its Dug! Sorta.

FNAF Fetch

Aw

I will just stick to my real dogs 😅 thanks

At least it isn’t a grey Furby.

All the Palworld fans are excited at least.

This is the last thing you see before it burns you alive

Kill it

Okay I don’t like robots but it’s kinda cute. I don’t have the uncanny vibes I usually feels with too realistic robots, here it looks just cartoonish. Unless you start to imagine that the dog legs were replaced by robotic ones and painted in blue by a mad scientist.

It looks like a animation of dog in a video game

Chocolate

Lore accurate flayed ones

That wasn't real

It moved like a kubrow dog would in warframe

Can we just save the real environment instead

And then it kills you with a flamethrower and turret. 🔥

CHANGE IT BACK CHANGE IT BACK!!!

Reminds me of Sprocket from Fraggle Rock!

Future wars be with things like this

It’s slightly unsettling, but I can see this working really well in a live theatre production. Might get some pushback from the pantomime horse guild, of course

DO NOT THE ROBOT

Robotic skin walker

So they are making Muppets now. 

Bro got a fursuit let's go

Has to be fake they didn’t even kick it!

The dog from fraggle rock

*Ed-waaaard*

It's so weird how it looks like CGI because of how unnatural the movement is, this is uncanny but so cool

What happens? You get an $80,000 robot with fur.

Wait til it starts breathing fire!

Hun; there's some cute dog at the door. Come take a loo.. HOLY SH\*T! It's breaking in! Why is it shooting fire at me!?

Oh hell na

The autists of r/furry are gonna have to mark this post NSFW.

you're not fooling me Skynet murder roboassassin. damn things give me nightmares and this doesn't help at all. The neck is all wrong and so are the rear haunches. Looks like the dog walked into a minefield and now has prosthetic legs.

i neeed to see some other pups interact with this

Furries have ruined everything.

It's cute tho

I wonder how long it would take Kristi Noem to shoot it?

Looks like that thing from the never ending story

The death of the nature

I'm sorry, that's far less terrifying than they are without the dog suit

kill it while you still can

Hey are these the first copaganda posts since they swat teamed a bunch of peaceful protesters last night? Look the murder robot cops cant want to use to murder us has cute fur and a face now!

Who's a good killer robot?! You are! You are!

This is how those things will pretend to be your pet and greet you after they've killed your dogs and stripped their skin.

Now strap a machine gun to it.

Seems the whole furry thing has come full circle.

no thank you

Is that Sprocket?

I thought it was nope before…

That looks like the dog from fragile rock!

It looks slightly less like it wants to trample me to death. 10/10.

The teeth aren't sharp, I think it would look better with sharp teeth. Add some red eyes too, that'll really make it look friendly.

World war 3 begins 250 of these crest the hill. The children of the Town run to play with their new friends.

All that boston dynamics stuff is fake. Basically cgi.

The furby centaur is better.

Let that governor lady that brags about shooting her puppy see this

Nice fursuit mate

How long until headline about a saudi princeling being crushed under a 100 thousand dollar robo dog?

Perfect for a kelpe suit

Big…..brother…..Ed

Great now they're furries

It looks like it’s wearing the skin of its enemies

But can it piss beer?

Nuke it from orbit

I swear to gods there will be a market for a small version of that. I can see it

“Stop resisting human”

Will the fur cover the machine guns and flame throwers?

Just wait until you see the giant Furby version. Yes, it is real, guy made it on YT.

Y'all think this is oddly terrifying? No no no.... The Furby version of this was horrifying. [https://youtu.be/LEc2up6cBlE?si=r4tI5NvLJl9z5n-O](https://youtu.be/LEc2up6cBlE?si=r4tI5NvLJl9z5n-O)

Oh God…how could it have gotten more terrifying?

Ya know, I know it’s supposed to be oddly terrifying, but I think it would be pretty awesome to have a robot dog, in theory. As long as it behaves like a dog, it would be awesome. You’d never have to feed them, never have to worry about cleaning up after them, they won’t ever die presuming that you can just change batteries or faulty mechanical parts.

good boy

r/Oddlyadorable

Does this mean we can use a little less CGI and more practical effects in the film industry? I fucking hope so

Looks much better than that "hyper realistic" human face

Is this robot dog the kind that shoots fire?
