Well now I'm definitely going to have to save up $10,000 for a flame-throwing robot dog.
How else am I going to protect myself from all the flame-throwing robot dogs?
The only defense against a bad guy with a flame throwing robot dog, is a good guy with a flame throwing robot dog
What about a neutral girl with a flame throwing robot dog?
Believe it or not, a chaotic neutral or lawful good girl with a flame throwing robot dog. There are some nuances if you’re using Pathfinder.
I'll take all the nuance if it means more flamethrower robot dog gladiator battles.
I'll take those odds!
Build a tesla coil for $100.
What if their flame thrower range is longer than the range of my Tesla coil?
Also, how will I get my revenge?
With a fire-extinguisher robot dog?
I can't kill my neighbor who sent the flamethrower robot dog to my house with a fire extinguisher robot dog! Not without plausible deniability anyway.
Not quite doable: https://youtu.be/Ry5YEknaxBk
A 5 minute thing blown up to a 50 minutes action sequence with cars drawing circles in the desert and a helicopter filming infrared and tüdelü, all in 10x repeat, is a sad new high for me.
But of course someone tested that already.
Well...That's TV shows for you.
But even better: Between each repeat would be an ad break. :)
At least we don't have that (premium and/or ad blocker) on youtube...
Didn't notice the ads. Newpipe with sponsorblock i guess?

Put your Tesla coil on a long boom. Worked for pikemen.
The nice part of that is that the fire conducts along the electricity
Edit: this was like two weeks ago but it was the other way around I am dumb
Make use of the only ~~good~~ usefully informative scene in Small Soldiers, and use a power transformer to create a city block radius EMP
You gotta fight fire with fire
