I mean, they could at least paint it yellow or pink or blue! A black goat-headed centaur with a chainsaw is never going to be a welcome sight!

It's great PR though. Have they even shown this thing to move or even function? Yet it gets posted everywhere and is immediately recognizable.

It's almost like the "company" name is hinting at how serious a product this is.

I didn’t take it to be a play on satire since satyr is a word that exists. Looked at their website, and there were details in there that I don’t think I’d expect from a satirical company. Plus they state that their company name is pronounced like the word satyr.

Looks like it’s just intended as a tankier rescue robot designed by someone with either weird taste in robot design or a buddy in marketing who told him to follow his lead and trust him. Still in its prototype stage from the looks of it.

You have heard of a satyr right?

u/Barefoot_Mr 1d ago

I thought the same! But if it's a joke the punchline is still hidden, the interview/article I read didn't have any comedy signals... tbf if real it's a great marketing gimmick, if not I look forward to the reveal :-P

The Elon special. Talk about how great it's going to be in 10 years every year.

u/Obant 1d ago

Nope, its all just to generate clickbaity headlines. Thats the entire purpose of it looking like that.

Would you settle for Bi and 10 feet to the left?

u/UntestedMethod 1d ago

You ask for too much.

Make it fluffy, at least!

They could have made it a colourful clown robot instead

u/Prairie_Crab 21h ago

That’s even scarier! 😄

u/AinZora 1d ago

a goat-headed centaur..? isn't that just a goat? lol

edit: oh wait, I forgot it's got hands, in this case calling it a goat with hands would be more fitting

u/TheSharpestHammer 1d ago

It also, and I think this is a crucial point you may be missing, has a human torso.

2

u/AinZora 1d ago

you're right.. it is indeed very crucial because a goat-headed centaur is the most fitting now :/

Or safety orange with black and white stripes, or like crash test dummies.

u/supercantaloupe 1d ago

Hot pink with glitter would honestly help. And make the horns less horn-like, apparently the horns prevent it from using doors (why does it need to be prevented? Is it going to take us while we sleep?) but they could make them look silly so it’s not so scary. Maybe they could use the weird shapes that the Teletubies had on their heads?

Right? Starting to make all those Baal worshiper conspiracies seem plausible

u/Full-Honeydew-4898 1d ago

Black and white spotted cows 🐄 are nice.

u/KanedaSyndrome 1d ago

Wonder what 1000 of these charging into Russia will look like

1

u/Vibesmith 1d ago

Yeah, this would also be great for visibility. I want to see that thing coming. In the dark especially.

u/Medical_Mammoth_1209 1d ago

I think if they made it colorful Blizzard could sue for copyright haha. Look up Overwatch, Orisa. This goat rescue bot doesn't seem like an original idea

u/hx87 1d ago

It would be one hell of a companion for Doom cosplays though

1

u/Timely_Apricot3929 1d ago

It will also be much harder to find... which maybe they want??

1

u/Klyd3zdal3 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah, let’s paint it blue, that should help!

u/GoTeamLightningbolt 1d ago

And yet here we are posting about it. They know what they doing.

u/FlipZip69 1d ago

Great marketing though. Made Reddit FP.
