Deep-water exploration robot looks scarier than is probably necessary

Most deep-underwater devices are round and inoffensive; why does this one need to be so sinister? In fact, it’s reminiscent of a certain other robot which occupies an antagonistic relationship with mankind. Not sure what I’m talking about? Here’s a hint: “woah.”

Yes, Neo woke up to one of these bastards. Looks like the Fraunhofer Institute is putting together the prototype for our future oppressors! Once they’ve broken us with their sniper-bots, these harvest machines will make sure no human heat goes unabsorbed. Good job, guys.
