The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Search says that it was mentioned here: http://forum.alienslegacy.com/viewtopic ... 4961#34961

And Kev's sentiments were the same back then. He must be really worried!!! Next time I talk with Kimberly Duncan, I'll get her to pay him a visit. ;)

Well between the added cybernetics the US Army want to add & now this,well talk about screwing the lads on the ground before they engage Hostiles.

Technology is all good & well but it`ll never replace good old fashion footsloggers. The more you overthink the more it`ll bugger up.

This Robodog truely does scream "I`m over here" when out on patrol,recon etc. No matter how they plan on dampening the sounds,it`s still going to be very noisy in certain Area`s of Operations.

Yes it's noisy but remember Marines, it's a prototype. The concept is correct, the power source needs more work. They will figure it out. Embrace technology.

Man, it's really freaky when they slow the footage down and the buzzing sounds more like a dull roar. :shock:

They should keep it all noisy, it will freak out the opposition.

And I for one will welcome our new metal masters!

Well that would bugger the "Spook Agencies" trying to read all the minds of the collecive Colonial Marines at DCon,if you do :D

Though the way the Sgt is cowering,I think they got to him already & he`s in denial.

As for the RoboDog being the predecessor to the ATAT,nice idea but it wouldn`t scare the enemy,they`d be awaiting to see what the fek is making all that noise.....LOL
