Presenting the killbot 5000!

[manaman]

There are several million threads about surviving a zombie apocalypse, but I haven't really seen any about surviving a robot uprising. How would you?
(Note: Before everyone shouts EMP! know that magnetic shielding exists and you would also need a reasonable method of obtaining one)

Flux bombs are surprisingly easy to build and produce a fairly strong magnetic pulse. But worthless. Sure an EMP can overload and destroy some consumer grade electronics but almost all military hardware is either not considered critical or hardened already. Also simply turning off and well grounding equipment is enough to allow most of it to survive an EMP.

I blame the popularity of EMPs from kids learning from media written by lazy writers who learned from media written by other lazy writers (To the xth power) written by ignorant writers.

I feel the same way whenever anyone asks for flying cars, or shouts off about how the AK-47 is the greatest gun ever built. Or well just about half of popular knowledge, especially historical events.

simple. a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning. nothing beats shurikens and lightning, except if it shoots noxious tits.

And how do you plan on obtaining this gun?

Post their IP's on 4-chan and sya that it's the IP for the local gamesto, who's just got a fresh shipment of Battle-Toads.

Also, what kind of robots? android hot robots as in battlestar galactica? if so, can they be seduced? (coockie for the first person who makes a resonable pickup-line for a robot chick... in binary)

 

[ThreeWords]

I think I have realised why robot uprising threads are rarely done: there is no scope for victory.

Zombies, while numberless, are hardly bullet proof, and usually shuffle around at managable speeds whilst trying to give you a hug.

robots, in the other hand, and quite capable of being bullet proof, flying or travelling a hundred mph, and using guns.

When the answer to the question "What would you do?" involves only different flavours of "Die", the discussion will be limited

Gladly let them upgrade my pathetic organic shell

*automated womans voice* "Activating EMP" (pronounced EMP, not E.M.P), cookie for the awsome reference.

Oh, well since i can't do that, i'd wait till the world rains and then just elecracute everyone.

Red vs Blue!

Here you go:

Uh dude sorry, you where beaten to the punch...by like a month.

Congradulations on the fail though.

But you can never have enough cookies.

Also, notice how you spelled congratulations wrong. Nice fail!

And where would you obtain a lightsaber?

"Killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I simply sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down."

"Yeah... still, we can always build more killbots!"

Cookie for reference.

Futurama.



I'd probably just die.


Zombies is one thing. Robots are a complete different one.

I would also kidnap a super hacker to tap into their mainframe to disable them all, if that fails I would raid a military base(all the soldiers would be gone fighting robots) and take a few grenade launchers all the grenades(both launchable and otherwise) C4, and basically all explosives since bullets won't do shit to robots and head out to the mountains.

Bullets do LOTS to robots. If they happened to be armored, all you need are tungsten core penetrator rounds, or some DU. Either way, if they can burn through tanks with no trouble, there's no way in hell you can put HALF as heavy the armor on a tank that you can on a humanoid robot.

Have you looked at a warbot lately? http://www.nuklearpower.com/warbot/

I'd pretend to be a robot, I can speak binary.

Don't question me! D:

Say that again in binary.

Happy? Although I'm pretty sure I keep getting mixed up on my past and present tense.

Is that real or did you just make that up?

Microwaves.

...A lot of them.

All you said was "É1ÒGTä²QUå
"

Liar.

OT: I would make robots of my own to destroy the evil robots.

 

[Souplex]

Microwaves.

...A lot of them.

Microwaves are just as, if not more deadly to flesh as they are to machines.

 

[ryai458]

I for one welcome our new Cylon Overlords!

Cylons? no no these robots are geth, much cooler.

 

[FirmlyUninformative]

Microwaves are just as, if not more deadly to flesh as they are to machines.

...I'd point them away from me?

Honestly, I have slightly less than half an idea of what I'm talking about here, but there has to be some way of deploying these things without having to undergo lethal exposure.

Like... a wall of microwave ovens. With me on the non-death side of it.

No?

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Step 1: Replace all organic part of my body with robot parts.
Step 2: Join them.
Step 3: Exterminate all humans.
Step 4: Get named killbot of the month/CPU cycle.
Step 5: Upgrade.
