Robots.. kill them now while they're small and dumb!

Iron Man's Suit - best way to use robots without them turning on us?
One day we will have robotic suits that lets us fly, breathe in the vacuum of space, and do a plethora of cool superpowered activities. Of course, by this point, job openings should include Lunar mining operations supervisor, and deep space client servicing executives. Both these positions will require an Iron Man-like suit. Mark... my... words...

Are these suits safer than independent robots which could turn Terminator and kill us? We would be the controllers, so you'd think we'd be safe. But what if they could operate autonomously, as per what DARPA has in mind with their exo-suit?.. Then.. um.. no we would still be smushed, right?

Well, we can't say we know what robots in the future might think, or even how they might think. However we do know how humans think, and humans controlling these machines may ultimately be the far scarier thought.

The Gundam Robot Wars of 2010

Japan leads the robotic arms race with the most advanced humanoid robots so far, surpassing China and the US. Yeah.. this is what i'm talking about: 

 

Too late losers.. we made 'em big and gave them laser swords! Haha..*squish*

It's not a matter of "are they really any use in battle?" or "wouldn't a nuke or orbiting space laser trump your puny giant robot?" It's all about the look on the other guy's faces when they see your massive, primary coloured death machine stomp through their city. They would just go "whoa.. that's.. so.. COOL!!" while getting their butts kicked, and why would anyone even want to blow it up? People would just want to add it to their collection, right? What? No?
