In a bizarre twist that seems straight out of a dystopian sci-fi movie, U.S. residents can now legally purchase a flame-throwing robot dog named Thermonator for just under $10,000.
AutoEvolution reports that Ohio-based Throwflame, the oldest flamethrower manufacturer in the United States, has introduced Thermonator, a robot dog equipped with a flamethrower capable of shooting flames up to 30 feet. The company, known for its unique products, is now offering the Thermonator for sale in all states except Maryland and California, where flamethrowers are restricted.
The Thermonator is essentially a combination of Throwflame’s ARC flamethrower and a modified version of the Unitree Go2 robot dog. While purchasing these components separately would cost around $3,000, Throwflame has bundled them together with a price tag of $9,420, offering free shipping as a bonus.
The robot dog boasts an array of features, including first-person view (FPV) navigation through an onboard camera, LiDAR mapping, instant ARC ignition, and laser sighting. It also comes with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing owners to operate the Thermonator remotely using a smartphone app. Additionally, the robot has obstacle avoidance capabilities and a one-hour battery life.

another ‘hold muh beer’ moment coming top you...
My sister bought a house in Florida and spends winters there.
Beats the hell out of Kansas winters.
She and I trade Florida man stories regularly.
My favorite was the guy who threw an alligator through a drive through window.
I like it! What could possibly go wrong?
Well, I kind of like the idea of walking late at night. With one at either hand, I will fear NOTHING!
I like how you think, Sir!
The Dig burnt my homework.
“My favorite was the guy who threw an alligator through a drive through window”.
Works for me. 😆
Hot dogs and s’mores on sticks!
Laser pointer is a nice touch, so you can burn the crap out of one spot.
Spicy rounds would certainly help.
Great for protestor crowd control.
If i had that much disposable income i would buy one.

If you think EVs are a problem, wait until I start recharging my pack of vicious flamethrower robot dogs...
GO AHEAD——
EXPLAIN THIS TO YOUR STATE FARM AGENT
Three questions:
Is there a waiting period?
Do I need a dog license?
Can I get two?
