Remember that 1984 movie about a horrifying robotic endoskeleton covered in living human skin?

Just what we needed, an even creepier version of Chuck E. Cheese.

If the fleshed killer robot thing doesn’t work out, then they might have a future in luncheon meat.

That sure as Hell fuck doesn’t look like facial tissue to me.

That reminds me, did they ever explain whose face Data was wearing in Star Trek: First Contact?

[Surprise_Puma]

For a certain type of “face” maybe.

Ted Cruz has a face?

Sometimes… just sometimes perhaps, scientists should consult with someone in the aesthetic professions before releasing their glistening, smiling nightmare fuel to the world.

@RickMycroft

Ted Cruz has a face?

The blobfish looks fairly normal in its native depth of about 3000+ feet. Perhaps Ted would also?

I’d rather my robots were cheerfully humanoid adjacent but obviously robotic, like say Wall-E out of that Disney film.

I can imagine a possible use for human skin to cover prosthetic limbs.
