'Thermonator,' the fiery robot dog makes a sizzling entry to the market

WASHINGTON (TND) — A robot dog that shoots out flames was unleashed.

The flamethrower-weilding robot dog known as "Thermonator" became available for sale Friday.

The robot can be purchased for $9,420. It's equipped with a light so it can get around even in the dark.

A video posted online shows the device walking around on robotic legs before shooting out flames that reach several feet at its target.

The "Thermonator" can move around as well as it shoots out flames.

On Wednesday, the page designated for the robot dog, was listed as "currently unavailable."

There are some states in the U.S. that regulate flamethrowers like Maryland and California.

Flamethrowers are considered "destructive devices" by theBureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The Ohio-based company,Throwflame, manufactures several flamethrowers, including one called "TF-19 Wasp" that's a drone flamethrower.

Throwflame creates "unique" products" desired for things that you just can't buy anywhere else."
