Thermonator (flame-thrower robotic dog)

[ATCclears]

If you've been wondering when you'll be able to order the flame-throwing robot that Ohio-based Throwflame first announced last summer, that day has finally arrived. The Thermonator, what Throwflame bills as "the first-ever flamethrower-wielding robot dog" is now available for purchase. The price? $9,420.

Thermonator is a quadruped robot with an ARC flamethrower mounted to its back, fueled by gasoline or napalm. It features a one-hour battery, a 30-foot flame-throwing range, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for remote control through a smartphone.

It also includes a LIDAR sensor for mapping and obstacle avoidance, laser sighting, and first-person view (FPV) navigation through an onboard camera. The product appears to integrate a version of the Unitree Go2 robot quadruped that retails alone for $1,600 in its base configuration.

You can now buy a flame-throwing robot dog for under $10,000

Thermonator, the first "flamethrower-wielding robot dog," is completely legal in 48 US states.

If I was to hit the lotto I guess I would just have to buy one of those just to play with. Looks like it would be great fun for the guys

Geez, the thing's only got a one hour battery. So much for perimeter patrol.

Oh! Robot Dog...thought it was about this Dawg Rob's-butt...

...heard it is environmentally-safe... Charr-Bun Neutral.

Really Sorry... Wednesday humor Stinks

Wonder if it has armor?

If I saw something like that around me I'd be tempted to "part it out" you know, "from a safe distance"

Or get a smaller perimeter!

No, that was another great job from that guy. The part of the lead kicking Bruce Lee's a$$ was great. I heard China was not happy about that part of the movie. Some people just have no sense of humor.

That's an expensive hot dog.
