*** Unjossed: That part was a joke [[ComicallyMissingThePoint the replyer clearly missed]], while the first part (the part where Crosby states that the S.A.I.N.T. wasn't designed for war) may have been true.true. Again, his a rather honorable person and designing a robot to handle nuclear waste transport is definitely something that he would do.

* Considering in the film we got, Newton Crosby stated that the S.A.I.N.T. wasn't initially designed for war, there's a good chance that the "nuclear transport" part may mean to be used in transport of nuclear waste. Having a robot transport such toxic materials without having to have any humans involve fits Crosby's personality (as he would want to have robots replace human beings for highly dangerous jobs. He's certainly noble enough to design a robot for such a purpose).

In other words, these robots were built to carry atomic bombs! While a rogue military robot armed with a powerful laser weapon would be a threat not to be taken lightly, Skroeder wanting to eliminate Number 5 at all costs would've made a lot more sense if he was armed with a nuke.

Even a device with a yield of only one or two megatons could cause WAY more death and destruction than a robot going around shooting people with a laser.

Greg Milano's script will be taut and intelligent but still funny and family friendly, and won't lean too heavily on regurgitated pop culture references. Director Tim Hill has learned a lot since ''{{Hop}}'' and ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'', and will endeavor to explore the human condition from the view of an outsider in a way that isn't preachy, trite, insultingly simplistic, or overtly sentimental. The CGI will be good but subtle and won't dominate the picture. All the actors will bring their A games, especially the kid playing Johnny 5's emotionally troubled young friend, whose performance will provide a [[MixedMetaphor rock-solid emotional anchor]] for the film. The film won't just surpass the original; it'll actually surpass nostalgia-addled fans' memories of the original.

* A corollary on that guess could be that they decided to remake it instead of making such a sequel because most people have already seen a scenario of robots vs. humans in Film/TheTerminator, CaptainPowerAndTheSoldiersOfTheFuture, Franchise/TheMatrix, Film/IRobot, Franchise/{{Transformers}} and Series/PowerRangersRPM, so at most it could be SoOkayItsAverage.
