Red Planet ... AMEE

https://www.writeups.org/amee-red-planet-movie/

AMEE often uses its X-Ray Vision to help target vital organs and weak points.?The only reason the MARS-1 crew wasn’t slaughtered in seconds when AMEE went rogue was that it was applying guerilla tactics.?In particular, it was more concerned with testing the crew’s abilities and responses than simply killing them.
