Update: Mike writes, "My friend Jon built a robot spider which is vastly superior to the cumbersome behemoth you posted today."
Come now, giant robot spiders. You're both pretty.

Poor guy, all that work and burned gas and the bikini babe didn't give it a second(or even first) glance.
I'm terrified by spiders, but the scantily clad woman (topless even?) made it worth it.
Pretty sweet, but I don't think the BigDog project has anything to worry about.
the bikini babe is totally trans...
but you already knew that
Yeah, BigDog is just terrifying and noisy. Although I'd rather see this trundling after me than the BigDog and its svelte prancy Silent Hill-esque legs.
This one is cool looking, but the functionality is sort of disappointing. I think they need some shock absorbers to keep it from breaking pivots, too.
I like this spider mech better:

That's my cousin Sam's robot spider, Mondo Spider! Sam and a team of grease monkeys assembled it and are working in improvements like Li-ion batteries. I've always been a fan of more fire breathing features though.
All the mondo spider you could want at their aptly named website:

What's with the hotdog eating scene?
In the future EVERYONE will be driving 1,500lb monster robot spiders.
After Skynet, EVERYONE will be running from 1500 lb monster robot spiders.
Gilmoid Anonymous here. It'll be a long time before somebody can yell:

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
Daddy like
I'll have to get a squad of henchmen trained up on those quick.
In Soviet Union 1,500lb monster robot spiders ride you!
