Lord, "meat eating robots" has to be the most dystopian phrase I've ever heard.

To be fair, those robots are omnivores. In practice they'd likely be mostly-vegetarian.


'Likely be mostly' is not that reassuring.

Given that fear is a weapon, I don't trust people on a battlefield to not use meat eating robots for psychological effect, if they happen to have them around. If it is possible for people to be fed into the meat eating robot, then they will be.
