@@MrGaborKukucska at 41 second when we see from behind, it seems the leg is comprised of 3 parts, upper annd lower plus the foot. the inner thigh has a flat edge while the outer thigh has a contour. the lower legs have these a cut (as it attaches to upper leg) that is closer to outer edge. and I''ve not paid attention to the feet. bothe the upper legs are different and so is the lower leg I think

I love robots. But the intro was slightly creepy and aggressive from a cinematic perspective. It reminded me of the horror film where the demon asian lady starts crawling like a crab. Then Altas 2 gets a little aggressive because it's like hey you talking to me and then it gets up into the personal face of the viewer. I think it inspires fear ;0 Also I think if it got into a fight the Tesla or the other, Altas will kick their bots kicks :) I am a Atlas 2 fan for sure.

[@screamingiraffe]

Give Atlas 360' view and several different weapon types, small flame thrower which doubles as a thruster for an assisted fist punch, other arm would consist of a small tesla coil (maybe energize the exoskeleton?), both of these would be used if the held weapon ammo was exhausted. Perhaps a sonic weapon (close range very high decibel), or perhaps a very small hidden tightly blue light focused laser. All of these combined wouldn't take up much room and its tech that's already miniaturized and available.

[@DefaultFlame]

Don't even need to go that high tech. An air horn from a truck with a small compressor and air tank to power it and 360 degree strobe lights and you have a near continous flashbang. Add multiple wide nozzles for spraying pepper spray or tear gas and capacitor banks connected to fist mounted prongs for stun gun fists and you have a riot suppression bot.

Hyundai Engineering and Construction: Around 6,902 employees. Hyundai Heavy Industries: More than 30,000 employees. Hyundai Mobis: Around 37,000 employees worldwide. Hyundai Steel: Approximately 18,000 employees. Hyundai Wia: Around 4,000 employees. Hyundai Motor America: Over 5,000 employees in the United States. It's important to consider that these figures might not be precise and could vary with time.
