    You know, sometimes I have to wonder if the super-saturation of humans vs. machines tales and the fact that it is a (perhaps THE) common acceptable trope amongst the general non-sci-fi audience (i.e. everybody) isn't directly due to the fact that it allows people to try and forget the fact that we are incapable of making even a dent in the humans vs. humans reality that the population is addicted to like free crack.

    @Lassus: At the moment, what are the other choices than human vs. human?

    @MonkeyT: Well, the choice of human vs. nothing. ;-)

    Good points, all responses, and thanks. I guess, again, humans vs. machines seems so replete, it made me muse.

    I'm always up for good robot-on-human violence.

    My dream now is for this and World War Z to be released the same summer.

    Wasn't G-Force produced by Bruckheimer? That movie was pretty fail. It tried to not be boring for adults, but it was awful.

    Kinda reminds me of Robo from Chrono Trigger in their design.

    @Thanatos:


    I was thinking the same exact thing. They look just like Robo, which isn't a bad thing really. I'd love to buy one, but $250 is out of my range for a toy.

    I must admit, I'm a little envious of those robot's packages. They must be very popular with the fembots...

    @russdanger: If they look down they can't see them! I'd be wary of their "big guns".
