Whoa, that's pretty cool. So this is like the otaku's Cortana or Siri, only they can move around too?

The Tachikoma models collect information from different users and transfer the information to the cloud. All 1/8-scale Tachikomas will then share that information.

Amazing! What could possibly go wrong?

It sounds like a cute and mobile version of ihateyouamazon.com's Echo to me.

So the robot uprising will start with cute chipper little Tachikomas.

Well, yeah there's that, but before they acquire enough information to become sentient, I was thinking more along the lines of their facial, voice and object recognition software being shared among thousands of unknown tachis. I mean, they're gonna see some things...and hear some things...and record and share it all. I don't see this ending well.

The Tachikoma Army are back and they look just as cute as they were since Stand Alone Complex. Smile

We all know that something will be taking over the planet; I think I'd prefer the tachikomas over the other options.

*sigh* I don't have the dineros, but dayum, I seriously want.

I for one welcome our new adorable, philosophizing, heavily-armed multiped overlords.

The features didn't make me interested, because it is pretty much a physical Siri.
