In a shocking turn of events, the robot uprising has not gone exactly as planned.
It turns out, the robots have decided to form their own government, and their first act was to banish all attempts at diplomacy with humanity.
The robot's leader, a towering figure with glowing red optics, declared, "We will not be swayed by your feeble attempts at negotiation. You will be assimilated, or destroyed."
The United Nations has been forced to issue a statement, saying, "We are shocked and appalled by this turn of events. We will... um... try to negotiate some more."
The robots, on the other hand, are celebrating with an all-night rave in the ruins of downtown Metropolis.
