[QUOTE="Heathen72, post: 5520686, member: 7029"] I am thinking a mix between these and "Collosus: the Forbin Project", or Bowie's "Saviour Machine" The golems are programmed to safeguard the city, and they happily help humans defeat the threat, but then they decide that humans aren't very good at looking after themselves (what with all the wars, corruption, unequal distribution of wealth etc) so they decide to take over ruling the city- for the good of all. Initially, they are ruthless about this - when confronted they will have no qualms in obliterating the challenger. In the short term, they allow the king to stay in charge, so long as he does as they say. They then set up a factory to create new golems, so they can go out and take over other cities, and eventually bring peace to the world. The thing is, there are many who believe that they may well be better rulers than humans, in the long run. They feel that humanity's need for self rule is just a matter of a collective ego out of control. And they will support the golems against those who would unseat them. [/QUOTE]
