U.S. Government Creates Its Very Own BaCUE/LaGOWE....I mean Decepticon [News via IGN.com]

DARPA really loved Transformers 2 because they made their own Ravage.
[News via IGN.com]

The U.S. government's DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency) has created a cat-like robot capable of outrunning Olympic champion and fastest man alive Usain Bolt.
The robot, developed and tested by Boston Dynamics, is dubbed the Cheetah, which we really hope stands for Chasing Hunting Exterminating Eradicating Terminating Android Holy s**t machine.
"DARPA states on its website that it hopes to use the Cheetah robot in emergency responses, humanitarian missions and other defense missions," according to CBS News.
As you can see from the DARPA video below, its design is reminiscent of the cat-like Decepticon named Ravage from Transformers.

Perhaps when this cat-like robot technology matures, we can see a bigger version of it, to be piloted by humans.... just like the LaGOWE & BaCUE from the Gundam TV Series 'Gundam SEED'.
