These are apparently going to be used in a film, and are (for now) just 3D rendered images. Not sure how realistic these really are… but they really do have that sleek semi-consumer electronic, quasi dangerous look about them. Sorta like a cross between the Terminator and a Robosapien.

Very apt description.
They seem more like microbots than nanobots to me. I don’t see how you could have that much complexity — or even that kind of light reflection — in a true nanobot. But creepy cool, and microbots could rub us out as well as nanobots could, I expect.
