From Cordwainer Smith’s Instrumentality series of stories, the Manshonyagger (from the German Menschenjäger, meaning hunter of men) is an autonomous fighting robot designed to seek out and kill all non-German humans. From the story Mark Elf, here is a description:
“Carlotta stared at the machine. It had legs like a grasshopper, a body like a ten-foot turtle, and three heads which moved restlessly in the moonlight.
From the forward edge of the top shell a hidden arm leapt forth, seeming to strike at her, deadlier than a cobra, quicker than a jaguar, more silent than a bat flitting across the face of the moon.”

It begins with electronics: it must be good. ;) Oooh, I love the low, looming, video-game-noise-at-the-end sound. Nice lead, too. :) I'm all smiles. :)

Hey Joe: used various synth apps including Moog Filtatron and NLog synth, and some percussion sounds in Logic, and the usual BL guitar setup. Thanks!

very cool, great odd mixture of sounds. I like how the string synths kind of ominously come in and play with the rhythm based synths around the 1:45 mark.
