RoboCop - No Really

Now this is exciting!!! Finally we are starting to realise that robots can be used for more than just the mass producing of cars and the like. The South Korean's are now going to use to monitor the inhabitants of their prisons. 

Sad thing is the robots are only taking a supervisory roll for now, I am assuming their unions have rules and regulations which frown upon the bots from maiming wayward inmates. 

They should come and work here, but then how much would you bribe a robot? That would really stump most of us.

This is all sounding very anime'esc. Do your self a favour ad watch BuggleGum Crisis 2040 along with GenoCyber, I am sure you can find both locally. Basically they both depict a world where robots are an integral part of our everyday lives. And yes, they rip us limb from limb every chance they get. 

I did a quick search, and could only find clips for GenoCyber (quite gory) but bum bum bum! You can actually watch all the episodes of BuggleGum Crisis 2040 on YouTube

(I will be busy for the rest of the week, checking what else YouTube has to offer)


Sorry I got distracted there. What I want to do is take the South Korean's robots and add a few "upgrades" which may or may not be inspired by the above anime, and may or may not inspire the fear of god in the lowly prison dwellers.  

None of this Johnny 5 BS, I want blood guts and gore! not my own of course, only bad people, or those that are really annoying... My SK 39s (South Korean 39s - modified prison robots) will have rambo knives for fingers, machine guns for headlights and flame throwers just because. All these things and more go into your friendly localized Apocalypse 

There are also anime's about friendly robots. Astro Boy for one, I have a copy of the old Apple Seed that I am going to watch when I get home... Appleseed
