Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

[NORM]

I never thought about how much money each Sentinel would cost to make until this thread. People here work in manufacturing - what's the ballpark figure on a 12 foot, 30 foot and 200 foot robot with firepower, coils, rocket boosters, a voice box, scanning eyes?

I always think about that whenever Sentinels come up. It’s the most ludicrous, unrealistic concept.

I guess the level of unrealism depends on who is supposedly financing them. If it's a US military thing I mean... practically a drop in the bucket compared to the billions of dollars the US military throws away, wastes, or quite literally sets on fire because it's cheaper than moving it, every couple of years.

Not to get too political, because some people get a little upsetty spaghetti, but seriously (-seriously-) go look up the estimated totals of how much military spending went into just the war in Afghanistan. Spoiler; it's in the hundreds of -BILLIONS- of dollars. So like.. half of one really stupid war that we did mostly for fun and profit could probably build at least several hundred giant killer robots.
