YouTuber Darren "IShowSpeed" unveiled a special robot that featured a functional flamethrower, which the streamer supposedly acquired from a robotics company in China. A viral clip of the 19-year-old streamer's interaction with the robot showcases him standing in front of it while being right next to a swimming pool.
Soon after, a stream of fire could be seen emitting out of the flamethrower attached to the robot. This stream then hit IShowSpeed's leg, which promptly caught on fire. As the fire could be seen even after the flamethrower stopped spewing flames at IShowSpeed, the streamer leaped into the swimming pool to douse it.
However, the creator was still not safe from the robot, which was seemingly being controlled by an individual off-screen. The controller threw another huge stream of fire in the direction of IShowSpeed, causing him to swim farther away in fear.
IShowSpeed shows off purchase of a flamethrower robot supposedly worth $100,000
IShowSpeed disclosed that the robot had supposedly been purchased by him from a Chinese robot production company that he had been in contact with, making him "one of the first Americans" to try out the product. He stated that it supposedly cost him $100,000 to acquire the robot, and over a month to be able to ship it to his residence from China.
Explaining the process behind him receiving the product, he said:
"I am one of the first Americans, Portuguenese (sic) people to receive this robot. I am the first in the world to receive this $100,000 robot. It took around one month to get transferred to all the way... It came from all the way to China. I am connected to one of the best China robot companies and they said, yo, you should test this out."
Within the same stream, IShowSpeed also showed off a special Real Madrid jersey signed by his idol and Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. The streamer could be seen smelling the jersey soon after unpacking it, leading to a variety of reactions from netizens.
