Robo SG Units...some spoilers

[Shpinxinator]

Ok...it's been established that the Wraith used cloning facilities which gave them their primary advantage over the Ancients so my question is...

Why not find volunteers within the Department of Home World Security so be duplicated using Harlan's (Season 1 "Tin Man") android technology to make an army of, in theory, limitless troops. The CopyCarter was able to create a battery cell and Im sure they could refine that technology further. thoughts?

[Trig]

Yeah, what happened to Harlan, copy Teal'c, stick the copy in a Super Soldier Suit, job done.

[Mclean]

Sounds like a good idea. Look at the Robo-O'Niell he took about 6 staff shots to kill!

Ahhh, but then we would have a Clone War on our hands!

Unless we made them retarded like the Kull Warriors. That would work.

or, we could just give our best and brightest marines personal shields that protect them from anything like explosions, weapons fire, hungry wraith hands etc. then we could send in like 50 soilders to do the job of your army, that would fall afer 6 shots, whereas the personal shield, which since it would be asgard designed means that it will be way better than than the goaulds, will protect the wearer indefinitely from weapons fire.

And if the robots decide to turn against us?

also another reason why this would be a bad idea. i mean essientally were sending a copy of that origional conciousness into battle and its more than likely that they wont come back and if after a while they get tired of doing it then they could very well turn on us and take retribution.

i mean this is just a bad idea really because the robot would still be scientiant and if we treat them like every other sg team member, ie never leave them behind then why go to all the trouble to make sg soilder if you can just use existing soilders to do it. and if you treat them like their as expendable as a machine thats just wrong. i mean its still a person, just in a robot body.

It's funny, this very thing was mentioned in Avalon part 1, when Mitchell is sorting through candidates for new SG-1 members. Two scientists give a presentation with a diagram, speaking about Harlan's android tech.
