World War VII Watch, edition 1 (December 6, 2007)

Sarcos, a company who doesn't seem to have chosen sides in World War VII: Humans vs. Androids, has just thrown a Deron-esque dime for the latter faction: humanoid robots (or Androids) that could totally own the Humans in Joust (pictured):



These androids come with a pretty pimpin' backpack and are capable of keeping their balance when punched, shoved, or kicked -- presumably even when a bowling ball is thrown into their chests. They're pretty cuddly now, and lack offensive abilities, but a strict biotechnological analysis reveals that they may be able to attain offensive powers easily:


That's right. They Have Fingers. This means one of these metal badasses could fire a gun or tank -- and it could pull the trigger even if people were trying to kick it over.

Score one for the Androids.
