| Robopocalypse | comment |
A 2011 Novel by Daniel H Wilson about the Robot Apocalypse. The novel is set 20 Minutes into the Future where mankind has automated just about every aspect of life to varying degrees. Everything from military equipment to domestic servants, cars, and even children's toys are robotic. The story starts off with an And Man Grew Proud moment, leading to humanity fighting to survive.A film version of the book was scheduled to be released as a Steven Spielberg film sometime in 2014, but was put on hold. On March 7, 2018, it was revealed that directorial efforts had shifted from Spielberg to Michael Bay.A sequel novel, Robogenesis, was published in 2014. The series is notable for its realistic, horrifying killer robots, its eldritch, manipulative artificial SuperIntelligence, and the central role of the Osage Nation. | |

"Pluggers" that burrow into your flesh then crawl up to your heart and detonate. If someone's been hit with a plugger, they're pretty much dead unless they were fortunate enough to have been hit in the leg or arm...whereby they might be saved by a painfully gory emergency amputation. | |

Grim Up North: The march to Archos's lair in Alaska. The frozen corpses of previous fallen armies are the least scary thing the Grey Horse Army encounters. Justified: today's battery technology performs poorly in cold temperatures, so the robots use a vaguely described power source of their own design. | |

Electronic Eyes: Mathilda has her eyes unwillingly taken out by a robot surgeon and replaced with the robotic equivalent. Luckily her mom intervenes and stops the machine before it can go further. Mathilda is able see heat and electrical signals but at the cost of being able to see normally... she can no longer see people's faces, only the muscles and skeleton underneath. On top of that she no longer has eyelids to shut or tear ducts to cry. | |

Body Horror | |
| Robopocalypse / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Archos finds plenty of ways to be...unpleasant to humans. "Stumpers", tiny bug-sized robots that are attracted to body heat. Crawl onto you and then explode, usually resulting in your legs becoming, well, stumps. "Pluggers" that burrow into your flesh then crawl up to your heart and detonate. If someone's been hit with a plugger, they're pretty much dead unless they were fortunate enough to have been hit in the leg or arm...whereby they might be saved by a painfully gory emergency amputation. They're never given a name, but later on in the war Archos deploys parasite-like robots that resemble scorpions that are able to latch onto bodies (living or dead) and control them like a puppeteer. In the various concentration camps, many people are forced to undergo Unwilling Roboticisation via an automated robotic surgeon. The results are often gruesome. | |

Fantastic Racism: Mostly averted in Robopocalypse, but returns with a vengeance in Robogenesis as humans, sentient robots, and cyborgs struggle to find places of safety and acceptance. Regular racism among humans survives the end of civilization. Arayt Shah aka Archos R-8, seeing an opportunity for power, encourages both. | |

Grew Beyond Their Programming: Partly how Archos gets loose to wreak havoc on the human race. Also how it arrived at the reasoning for killing humanity. It very shortly leads to Deus Est Machina moment before he kills his creator. Later on, the "Awakening" signal broadcast by Mikiko after she's "freed" by Nomura causes this for all humanoid robots but in a benevolent way, as they ally themselves with humans and try to destroy Archos. | |

How We Got Here | |
| Robopocalypse / int_80251be3 | comment |
How We Got Here: The novel is primarily about the war between Archos and humanity, but the prologue is literally set 20 minutes after the war is won by humans. Cormac, the main-ish character, finds a "black box" of the war, recorded by Archos, which shows the entirety of the war, including all the events leading up to it. These recordings are presented as flashbacks (with commentary between chapters by Cormac) which form the bulk of the novel. | |

Apocalypse Wow: Mostly subverted, as the descriptions of Zero Hour either take place in isolated areas or are very vague. Justified, as anyone who could’ve gotten a good view of the events of Zero Hour would’ve been killed in the first hours or even minutes. | |

Artificial Stupidity: Some of the smaller robots are easily tricked. Stumpers will ignore their warm human targets to run into fires and get confused by humanoid robots' lack of body heat. Some quadrupeds get caught by traditional hunting snares. | |
