This would be a perfect alternative narrative for gaming.

That was really well done. I would not be surprised to see some of the 3D designers putting out similar looking models once this gets better known.
Those enormous tanks and walkers would be great in 6 or 10mm.

 That was awesome! We may be heading to this now once AI figures out it doesn't need us.

 Going on an electric car(that boasts AI tech) Im using at the moment we have nothing to worry about. The revolution will last about 250km from its starting location and that will be the end of it lol

Interesting use of AI-modified/created footage there. The narration script was a bit clumsy in places, but okay for amateur work.

I notice that, as is not unusual, this "world-wide" automaton rebellion appears to have affected America only, with the rest of the world barely existing. I guess they're playing to their audience.

A lot of Steampunk stuff would fit into this narrative perfectly. 8)

That looks really cool. Reminds me of something similar done for All Quiet on the Martian Front using old footage. 1913 seems a bit early for some of the footage though. For me it has more of an Inter-War vibe.

I have lots of 28mm painted WW1 Brits and Germans so I will be interested to see if any suitable automatons come out. I do like this Copplestone bio-mech which maybe a possibility.

I got a Russia/Poland/UK vibe, too, not just US.

Brilliant!  Now we need a line of minis that look like those in the video.   :)
