Creepy Russian robot believes Terminator is its older BROTHER – and says it might ‘visit soon’

OF all the things for a robot compare to itself to, Terminator is probably not the one that fills people with much confidence.

But a Russian-made robot has revealed it sees Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic cyborg assassin as an older brother.

Alex, as the creepy bot is called, has made waves on TikTok for its eerily realistic face.

Though it can move its arms and speak, functions are a bit limited for now.

Experts behind are working on leg functions next.

"The Terminator is a 1984 American science fiction film directed by James Cameron, the coolest robot ever created," Alex says.

"I like to think of him as my older brother."

He even referenced a line from the movie, adding: "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle."

Asked about the prospect of walking, he recently responded to fans that legs are in development and "I might be able to visit soon".

TikTok commenters are divided about the robot, with some loving it while others have concerns.

"Destroy it," one said.

"going too far ! Disturbing on many many levels."

Another added: "If he could walk that would really be freaky."

Promobot has more than three million followers on TikTok.
