Which is pretty much the story behind the classic b-movie Chopping Mall (http://www.badmovies.org/othermovies/chopmall/). The robot in the story does not have any weapons, but it does sport a laser range finder. That's just begging to be armed. Heck, that's just begging some hooligan to buy one, equip it with a random implement of destruction, and set it loose in a mall.

Ozzymandias speaks: That is my favorite Jo Stafford song.
"Killbots are a comin, they've got us in their sights. Killbots are a comin, there will be destruction tonight. You better hurry, hurry, hurry home! You better hurry, hurry, hurry home! Killbots are a comin, there will be destruction tonight."
Ozzymandias has spoken!!!
All we need is one lightning strike and bam, homicidal killbots. [That's how they're made right?]
