This is a triumph!

 
After years of wanting my very own Aperture labs portable sentry turret I have the next best thing.... a small Aperture labs sentry turret LED flashlight.....well it's the best I could get without endangering the lives of my family and friends.
 
 
 
 
The turret stands at about 3" tall and has an LED that lights up at the front. The best thing about it however is the random sound effects it plays, nothing freaks out a gamer like entering a room to see what the red glow is and hearing "target acquired" and "are you still there...? coming out of the dark, where is your weighted companion cube when you need it?


The other awesome thing about it is the box art- It's taken straight from the Aperture science production line.


The Box also has more warning tiles than a GLaDOS designed test chamber!



 
 
 
 
 
 


There are stills taken directly from the spoof turret
sales adds featuring Cave Johnson that Valve software ran as
part of the promotion for Portal 2.

Even though this is not the fully functioning home defence turret I dreamed of it is still a really nice desk Knick Knack. LED flashlight turret "I don't hate you" :)
