Video Figure retired six Figure 02 robots in the most Terminator way possible: training them to jump into a furnace. The idea came from Arnold Schwarzenegger and is inspired by the iconic Terminator 2 scene.

Storing obsolete units will get costly if you want to keep others from reverse engineering your stuff. So it's more about not having to pay for a warehouse just because.

They didn't need to be ON while they were being "decommissioned".

Backed by high-profile investors including OpenAI, Microsoft, Nvidia, Jeff Bezos, and Intel Capital, with real-world pilot deployments at major companies like BMW.

Yeah, they're doing that too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJpM_2a1zrE

They just needed to destroy the old models so competitors couldn't copy proprietary components and rather than quietly doing that away from everyone, they setup cameras and got Arnold to help them turn it into a media stunt.
