The Tesla Optimus robot has begun flexing its muscles with some mixed martial arts skills, picking a fight with actor Jared Leto at the Tron: Ares premiere.
Jared Leto has undergone a metallic makeover in the new Tron series, covering his usual dashing looks with a red-on-black robot suit.
But as he was flaunting the new outfits for the trilogy title at the Tron: Ares premiere, another tech terror clanked up the red carpet proposing a duel.
Dressed up to the nines in the same dangerous palette, the Tesla Optimus stood before Jared Leto and showcased its moves before backing down from Ares’ weaponry, as you can see in the video above.
