These Headless Robotic Reindeer Are Almost Certainly Coming To Kill You This Christmas
This year, Christmas comes on shiny metal legs. Chittering, scittering little legs.
Boston Dynamics is a robotics development company known for its distinctive creations, and for being the corporate entity that will eventually morph into SkyNet and doom humanity in the coming human/robot wars. They shot to fame a couple of years ago after pioneering the WildCat, a four-legged robotic beast that you will see galloping through your nightmares for the rest of your wretched days.
Cut to the 2015 holiday season, and Boston Dynamics have released footage of their latest abomination, a team of smaller four-legged cyborg hellbeasts pulling a sleigh while dressed up as Santa’s reindeer. In the video, a (presumably) human Boston Dynamics employee dressed as Santa wishes the viewer ‘Happy Holidays’, before her creations turn on her, dissolve her into her constituent chemicals, and absorb what energy they can before trotting away on their hideous robot-spider legs into the darkness.
In the future, Christmas comes on shiny metal legs. Chittering, scittering little legs.
Sweet dreams, kids!
