Rise of the tumblebots



Imagine hundreds of these things coming at you in a tide of clicking, whirring, undulating black plastic . . .

all you'd have to do is throw a handful of pebbles at them & they'd be thrown off course. it would be creepy, though. (is it weird that I kind of feel sorry for it?)

Ever see the 1957 sci fi movie "Kronos?" So imagine an indestructible tumblebot 100 stories tall.

That was a lot of fancy language for something that's basically a: black thing that tumbles around.

...I feel sorry for all robots.

reminds me 100% about a japanese horror manga by the name of GYO, created and drawn by Junji Ito. basically it's a story about creatures from the sea (fishes/whales/octopi) that are attach to mechanical limblike... things... it's kind of hard to actually explain it but if you read through it and then watch this video it's almost like you read the future and are watching the end of time. ::shivers::
