Looks like a cross between WALL-E and Skynet. How long before some mushroom hunter gets blown to pieces by one of those?

The next generation of these things definitely need to have fearsome faces on them to strike terror in the enemy. The muzzle of the gun embedded in a snarling demonic mouth perhaps.
