Mwwaah! NOW we can make battlemechs. While I fear a future of robotic warfare where human losses have disappeared, and thus the incentive to end the war has too, leading to permanent opportunities for military-industrial powers to rake in money forever...

This is too cool not to appreciate at least briefly.
