    Can we please build a 500ft Sentinel facing west somewhere on Hawaii? It would incorporate a missile defense system that fires from the robot's extended middle fingers.

    I'll get flamed by Koreans but here it goes. Korea has always been trying to "one up" Japan and China for decades. They're also notorious for "borrowing" from Chinese and Japanese culture and claiming it their own. Hell a year ago they were claiming that Confucius was Korean.

    Sadly, after the failed "Pink Goo" Statue of Liberty experiment, the US has continued to lag in the Giant Frakkin' Robot arms race. It is a sad day when our best hope for a Giant Frakkin' Robot is Michael Bay.

    Alright, if us Americans were to build a robot to represent for our country, who would we build? And no talking about past plans for Michael Jackson walking about in the Nevada desert with lasers. That shit does not count.

    Also, if these countries really wanted to, why couldn't they just build fully functioning robot replicas, so that they can be alive and easily controlled? Well, besides financial reasons, of course.

    @Fatty Shcock: It'd either be one of the following:

    Optimus Prime
    T-1000
    Bender
    Random Giant Sex Bot
    Johnny 5

    I'm hoping for Johnny 5 more than anything else.

    @Saboth: Unfortunately, Optimus Prime, despite being embraced by a generation of American kids, is not an American robot. Just a carbon copy of a Japanese cartoon, slightly repackaged for American consumption during the boom of 80s Japanese animation imports. He's still awesome, but not 100% uniquely American in conception and execution.
