If you thought the BigDog robot was scary before, check him out with horns. Now I will have nightmares of about running with the bulls, only the bulls are BigDogs, and I'm not really running... more like briskly walking away... in terror. [Boston Dynamics via BotJunkie]

Big Dog, now with more killing power
CrunchGear —
So the dudes at Boston Dynamics have finally added weapons to the Big Dog, America’s favorite scary striding robot. What does this mean? More fun when you run naked and bleeding from your home, your left kidney stolen from you as you slept, as the robots rise up and begin preparing our organs for harvest!
OK, so horns aren’t weapons, but they are pointy!
How long before Big Dog starts looking like this scene from a recent school reunion gone wrong in Scranton, PA?

Remember the Big Dog robot that moves in such a lifelike manner, it is almost uncanny and unnerving? The folks at Boston Dynamics have made improvements to it by weaponizing Big Dog, allowing future robots on the battlefield to fight our wars without running the risk of injuring or getting our soldiers killed since Big Dog can be controlled remotely from afar.
