    I'd imagine soldiers can get pretty thirsty in all that gear they carry around, so why not have a robot bring them a nice drink of milk?

    If they wanted a fast, efficient, and terrifying robot death machine, then they should have made Buzzsaw instead.

    I made a joke about attack Ravages as killstreak rewards in FOC.
