I think I saw a remote controlled little ground thing made to drive under tanks and blow up.

When I was a child I thought the RC-XD was the most ridiculous contraption I had ever heard of. Tons of shit turned out to become real I thought was stupid

ETA: They're called: Cybran T2 Mobile Bomb a.k.a. Fire Beetle

As a local moron, it looks like something people like myself, or, myself, would think would be cool to try and catch.

In SYNTHETIK there is a doomba! Ended many runs so far.

It keeps the streets clean both literally AND metaphorically!

It can boot if it's low quality.

This has the same energy as the knife wielding tentacle. If anyone would like to come over and disable it, they'd be more than welcome.
