Nah, i predect a Skynet instead. I mean, if there is a real "union aerospace corporation" (of doom fame) why not a skynet? I used to drive by UAC every day on my way to work, so why not a skynet, plus, their robots! The machines will rise! :rotfl:

No reason you both can't be right.

USR was around before the movie so I wonder what kind of deal they made with the producers for use of the name.

Yeah and one day the machine will the the team leader and give orders to the human team members, that will be the day

"And in the Battle of 2098 the famous ILX Mark IV robot designed by Lockheed lead a vailant charge with members of the 200th infantry division across the wheat fields to save another team and their ILX Mark III robot from the enemy, never will we forget the heroic deeds of both man and machine"

He may be, but he is also much bigger, and can a human keep a gun on target like that while moving that fast? Nope!
