    Well now I’m definitely going to have to save up $10,000 for a flame-throwing robot dog.

    How else am I going to protect myself from all the flame-throwing robot dogs?

      The only defense against a bad guy with a flame throwing robot dog, is a good guy with a flame throwing robot dog

      Build a tesla coil for $100.

        What if their flame thrower range is longer than the range of my Tesla coil?

        Also, how will I get my revenge?

            I can’t kill my neighbor who sent the flamethrower robot dog to my house with a fire extinguisher robot dog! Not without plausible deniability anyway.

              A 5 minute thing blown up to a 50 minutes action sequence with cars drawing circles in the desert and a helicopter filming infrared and tüdelü, all in 10x repeat, is a sad new high for me.

              But of course someone tested that already.

                Well…That’s TV shows for you.
                But even better: Between each repeat would be an ad break. :)
                At least we don’t have that (premium and/or ad blocker) on youtube…

          Put your Tesla coil on a long boom. Worked for pikemen.

          The nice part of that is that the fire conducts along the electricity

          Edit: this was like two weeks ago but it was the other way around I am dumb

          Make use of the only good usefully informative scene in Small Soldiers, and use a power transformer to create a city block radius EMP
