A U.S. company is taking orders for the world's first flamethrower-wielding robotic dog, known simply as ‘The Thermonator’, and it is somehow seemingly completely legal to own under Federal law in most states.
As reported by Ars Technica, Cleveland-based company Throwflame is selling The Thermonator for a mere $9,420. It is a four-legged robotic companion that comes fully equipped with a back-mounted, state of the art flamethrower.
The 37lb robotic hellhound, which looks like it was ripped from the virtual pages of PlayStation game Horizon:
Dawn, is capable of navigating using Lidar mapping, and can be ordered to spray streams of fire at the press of a button, remotely over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth uaing a handheld controller.
YES THE INSANE VIDEO BELOW IS THE ACTUAL COMPANY’S ACTUAL ADVERTISEMENT FOR THIS PRODUCT!!!!!
Said firepower comes courtesy of the company’s all-electric ARC flamethrower, which uses a plasma arc system to ignite a stream of gasoline fuel up to a range of 30ft. While there are a number of legitimate reasons for owning and using a flamethrower, such as land clearance, or perhaps overzealous de-icing activities, it's difficult to see why the average person would need to own such an utter danger pooch.
