Last Dragon

HBO's upcoming zombie apocalypse drama The Last of Us starring Games of Thrones' Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey just upped the dragon factor in their trailer.

Real Robocop?

San Francisco's Board of Supervisors have approved police deployment of remote controlled robots with lethal capacity, in emergency and crisis situations.

These are not autonomous AI driven machines. Humans will control them. So not Robocop yet, though autonomous killer drones do exist and have been used by the military.
