That pic, makes for a great dart board btw! Maximum points for hitting the wart thingy above the left nostril and the least amount of points for hitting one those HUGE ears!

The only redeeming quality of the film and best viewed in a still frame such as this

Meanwhile its drones... not clones...

For clones you need this

If you read the full description of the thing it really does sound like something out of skynet.

Lets just hope they remember to make it waterproof

What movie was that where they were going to demo the drone and decided to wash it, water got into it and it went rouge on them.

"You idiot havent you ever heard of rain !!!"

Pfft... its just a demonstrator...

I like our operational super drone better

This bad boy can carry 8 Hellfires, two GBUs and two Sidewinders (Yep it can go Air-Air on your @$$).

Only down side? We haven't fielded them by the hundreds.
