Thunder auto robot on the move

Thunder's the auto robot's lights were flashing red and it was now released from its stand, where it has been prisoned for ten long years. 

 

With long steel arms flashing and meter long steps, Thunder moved forward towards the exit. The other robots were released as Thunder stormed past them.

The screeching noise of steel grinding along the concrete floor would have been deafening if human robots had been present, performing their daily grind of auto manufacturing.

From the operations capsule, the loan robot engineer was watching the robots move toiwards the door.

He watched in the remote controlling computers for signs of robot action at the company's other global plants.

There was erratic movement by the robots there too. Thunder's equivalent was leading the way in New York. A line of robots took car doors from their station as ammunition when they had escaped the auto plant.

Thunder's long arms were now flashing red as he reached the exit gate. With an almighty force, he pushed the gate forward and strode through the exit, pulling the door apart at the hinges as he thrashed his way ahead.                                                                                                                                                                           More to follow............                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

 

 

 

 

Sabotage - robots on the move in the auto assembly plant

The auto assembly line in southern Japan was quiet as night manufacturing was no longer operating due to the cut back in demand.

The giant auto robots were standing idle until their work started the next morning at 7 AM and finished at 7PM. No breaks for robots, humans worked them constantly except for maintenance time, once a week.

A lone operator entered the plant with his security pass and started talking to the robots. Yes they all have names - given to them by the plant's workers. Thunder was the largest robot standing ten feet tall with eight feet long steel arms to work on the auto's components. 

Working on the main computer, the operator adjusted the robot's command in this plant as well as in the plants in New York, Tokyo and Hamburg.

With the company's global cutbacks, the operator had been retrenched and he was getting revenge - big time.

Thunder was the first to move and followed quickly by the other 20 robots at the Japanese plant. The robots also moved in the other plants around the world with arms flashing and red  lights shining from their heads.

With dehuminisation of the workplace, robots are now taking control of work places around the world.

Losing his job of 20 years, a lone Japanese plant engineer and operator takes control of the auto company's robots at its plants in Japan and around the world.

He will get his revenge and so will Thunder the lead robot of the pack.

A technology journalist and robot expert investigates the march of the robots to oblivion.

In their investigation, they grow closer as the auto robots take on the world.
