The robots need to be more...intimidating or even scary looking. I still remember when The Terminator was horrific to every extent of the word.
A machine that didnt stop, didn't sleep and will always find you. Especially when it has Arnold's face on it.. Slowly inching up those steps right behind you as hydraulics work over-time in the knees and ankles. In general it was just really fucking scary to see the T-800 in all it's chassis glory.
Robots used to be scary, now subconciously they're associated with the "Transformers" style hero of the Earth. Personally I think this really devalues the essence of machines in movies and nearly all the time it really plays down the entertainment and excitement. Almost as if there is a Comic-Book childish, outlook towards machines instead of the gritty-horror as the example mentioned above.
Plus even just in the plot alone it could add that bitter-sweet irony of being allied and in control of something that terrifies us as an audience.
But eh, that's just me and my two cents.
