And then one day the Cylons decided to kill their masters...

[Slapshot68]

Good to know...I have an uneasy feeling that the Decepticons are about to invade.

[agere_contra]

Actually, you’re going to elect them :0(

[Digital Sniper]

Makes sense. We've already got a RINO Terminator running Kollyfornyuh into the ground.

[BGHater]

Ah yes, the Decepticon, aka CINO.

"The self-healing robots will be able to dock with each other,..."

Please tell me that there is no carnality involved in this "docking with each other" thing.

[G-Bear]

So, we actually created the Borg?

Immediately thought of these verses with this article;

Rev 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men.

Rev 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions.

Rev 9:9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

Rev 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men five months.

Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.

[Sender]

"...We never should have let them dock with one another."

[khnyny]

Obviously, there will be military applications...

[Abundy]

[sound]: Knock, Knock

[Door opens]

"Sarah Khannor?"

...

[TC Rider]

[Free Vulcan]

Resistance is futile.

Borg hive mind bump.

[Miss Behave]

“Swarms” of transformers. I love it.

[A £4.6 million project to create swarms of hundreds of autonomous, Transformer-style robots has been launched.]

I think that means that they don't have to mate to reproduce. ;-)
