EngineAI’s T800 robot draws T-1000 and Torment Nexus jokes
Darpinian · x · 2026-07-24
EngineAI’s new robot name, T-800, gets a joke-heavy reaction online: one user quips that the next model will be T-1000, then Torment Nexus, poking fun at sci-fi-flavored naming choices in robotics.
The post is essentially a meme response to EngineAI’s announcement that the first batch of Henan-made T800 robots has rolled off the line and begun shipping worldwide from Zhengzhou.
