Hopefully when the robot army comes, the regeneration time will be faster. I could have already smash that thing to little bits with all the time it took to combine back together.

@notyoutool: I agree and at the same time think they can't be any worse than our current human overlords.

Well, I for one hope that those robots have backup robots to lay down suppressing fire on us as their kicked-to-pieces buddies slo-o-o-o-wly reassemble themselves.

I mean, because if the robots are THAT determined, I commend them.
Y'know, even as I kick them into clunky, frustrated pieces again...

@joemono: Have you taken a Voight-Kampff test lately?,
Maybe you're already a replicant...

Incidently, when the frik are Asimov's THREE LAWS going to be programmed into these bastards? I guess we *are* going to wait until there's a 'Bot rebellion and thousand of human corpses littering the streets...

Nobody has more money to spend on robotics than the Pentagon, and you KNOW they ain't big on the Laws...

you can always keep a piece hidden somewhere and let the robot search for it for the rest of eternity

I'm not afraid of this robot. If attacked, all you have to do is kick it, then you could leisurely stroll away/escape. Repeat as necessary.

@russdanger: Beer, pot, and father time have already helped me edit my memories. And if the Robo-Joe was completely convinced he was Joe, then I wouldn't care, since I wouldn't know the difference. Ignorance is bliss.

Another helpful tip:

If it can't see you, it probably can't decapitate you with it's rotary-slicing hand thingie:

Helpful tip:

Use sarcasm when attempting to distinguish between humans and android imposters. Androids don't "get" sarcasm. Idiots don't either, but it's no great loss if you accidently hit one with the EMP grenade (see above).

@joemono: Memories: Heavily edited

Consciousness: Nope, yer screwed. The "you" that you now experience will cease to exist, but the android will be utterly convinced he's you. But It'll be wrong.

Moral of the story: Never trust a 'Bot.

@Castle1914:

All-rightie then!, bring on those metal bastards!

Bonus: It looks like it would splatter a zombie too. Dual-purpose, I like that. Takes up less room in the bunker...

I would still rather take 'em out with a light-saber, though..*sigh*

You could grow a human faster than it takes this thing to reassemble itself...

@russdanger: You know, the real trick is for humanity to time the inevitable rise of the machines to happen along side the zombie apocalypse. Let them fight each other.

I just hope that Lightsaber technology is progressing as well.

@joemono:

The highest compliment they can pay is to duplicate you in android-form and kill the original. Silicon-based bastards...

OJG, it reassembles itself just like that liquid metal terminator in T2.. only not quite as f....a......s.....t......

If we're nice to them, will they take that into account when they take over?

Oh ... My .. God ...

Someone please teach me how to build EMP grenades...

I don't know which is going to take us out first, the Zombie Apocalypse or the Rise of the Machines...
I'd rather have the zombies. I know how to swing a crowbar...
