Yeah. Pretty old. When I first saw it, I thought "oh shi, hunters are here on earth".

*sigh* how many times is this going to be posted? It's a new video though, so I'll leave it open.

That sound was really fucking annoying. It was, however, totally badass when the guy kicked it and also when it jumped.

The way it recovered itself on ice freaked me out a bit the first time I saw it o_O

Its awesome how it regains stability after that guy kicked it. The part where it slips on the ice is just freaky.

This has had like 5 threads so far.

... But it deserves like 5 more. That thing still amazes me every time I see it. Needs more fuel cell power source, less combustion engine generator.

Oh shit, put friggin reins on it for control, and ride it into battle! Would be :awesome :

I never think it's creepy when a robot acts like an animal, I just think it's awesome. Kind of like how I'm not affected by the Uncanny Valley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley).

Old. I laugh. Watch it and imagine that its two skinny mute midgets with their heads stuck in jugs full of bees.

Someone should put a small minigun on the back and send it out to go kill things :D.

Oh, and blades on the legs so that it could impale some one strider-style.

Cool thing is cool.
