An Ohio company that manufactures flamethrowers has unveiled a rather unsettling new addition to their line of products: a robot dog that can shoot fire up to thirty feet. Dubbed the 'Thermonator,' the nightmarish creation is the brainchild of the business Throwflame. In announcing the creation of the first-of-its-kind automaton, the company stressed that the flamethrower-equipped robot dog is not intended to be a weapon and put forward several practical uses for the remote-controlled device such as wildlife control, snow removal, and, simply, entertainment.
