I voted for CB2, but will have to go back as well after watching the video! I think BigDog looks and sounds more like a fly.

Big Dog is on the whole Terminator/alien takeover vibe that totally freaks me out. That CB2 looks pretty feeble and kinda cute.

Thanks Mark for posting that link to Big Dog Beta. That video kills me everytime.

CB2’s eyes scare the hell out of me. Is (s)he wall-eyed?

I can’t really pin point what it is about the BigDog that scares me but I definitly vote for it. I think its just the creepy crawly legs.

the Big Dog seems to have function, but has this “I can blow you up and theres nothing you can do about” feel to it. However, there is nothing not creepy about a 8 year old sized robot that just lies there with big eyes and coos like a baby. It is the definition of WTF? And it eyes are so……..big.

Actually the BigDog was updated. The newer version is less capable AND more creepy:
