As the new year has already started in some parts of the world - Oz-based site admin Burn was the first to notice 2017 arriving in our community - we have news of another new arrival in robotic form: actual robots (well, robotic suits) from a South Korean robotics group, designed for emergency response. As CNN reports, designers used cues from Transformers and Terminator live action movie franchises, though there are some glimpses of Aliens, Avatar and more mech-suits out there.

Check out the embedded clip below, and prepare to welcome our new robot overlords in 2017!

come on then Hasbro, start making us Transformer suits.

Now if they work on consciousness transfer method and make it a war-like robot body that can transform into stuffs, like a tank, then I'll have my future plans for me.

Bleh. I'll keep dreaming.

If they keep this up we might have mobile suit Gundams by 2025

Seriously they beeped best line aliens typical kora, china, Japan would make these suits first before us

Looks like the mechs from avatar, i want one

It's based on the suit from Avatar, the guy that designed it only worked on the Transformers movies.

Cameron directed films like Aliens 2 and Avatar. I don't recall any Terminator looking like this. Not even in "Salvation"

Give it some guns and my dreams will have been realized!

This doesn't look transformers inspired at all. Avatar? Absolutely.. transformers? Nope.

Love it . Disaster response and construction is something practical I could see these being used for somewhere down the road, and I'm all for it.

Let's keep guns and rocket launchers off of these though. There's already far to many ways to kill people as is.

it moves kind of awkward swaying side to side looks a bit top heavy like it might tip over easily

One step closer! C'mon Japan!

Walking is still a ways off, but battling is coming very soon.



And yes, this is a real thing, USA vs. Japan.

Lovely how many comparisons there have been made with this spawn8ng from transformers, gundam, and terminator there have been when honestly considering the size this is basically votoms in real life the size fits as well as the shape of the cockpit

Yet another instance of science fiction turning into science reality. For better or for worse.
