US EOD uses the Talon and us Engineers get to play with the Engineer
Talon and the Marcbot.

and the Marcbot

Robots intended for use in combat are quite likely to be more like the
former than the latter in the future, since the Marcbot is dirt cheap
as compared to the Talon, and hence somewhat disposable.
