"Eating Christmas dinner" is a euphemism for "I just went into my underground bunker with my 30-year supply of food, nana nana na na" :biggrin:

Get yourself some cheap RPG-7. Or build yourself some pipe-bombs. The Resistance starts now!

They skipped T-1s and Hunter-Killers... Unless you count drones.

Good thing our champion of humanity is preparing himself for the ultimate badass war ever and not fooling around on some screwball message board. :\

George Washington must be rolling in his grave.

Wow... and I thought the self driving cars and the Google Now AI were crazy.

We're just screwed now.

Let's at least wait until it can catch bullets before we throw in the towel.

Time to build small scale deployable EMPs!

On serious note, EMP or microwave guns are probably not a bad idea for people to have in case the government ever deploys killer drone robots on us. I could see them do that for the war on drugs and war on piracy.

Stocking up on thermite would not be a bad idea either, if you can manage to trap a robot you can just use thermite to destroy it. Chances are the brain/control board would also be in a less obvious spot like the lower torso or something, and there would probably be two for redundancy.

Though chances are these robots would be things like excavators and what not or other simpler vehicles, with guns mounted on them.

Damn... 'CYBERDYNE' was so much more menacing. I guess Ahnold needs to trade in his leather jacket for hipster tights and pastels...
