I would have said Looney Toons, but they're pretty much on par for each other in terms of weapon sophistication. This thing is really just one step above an Acme jumbo cannonball grenade.

Well for all we know the Goblins might have been working for Acme before freelancing for Blizzard's R&D department

Also who said you need to light them before you reached the enemy's camp?

Alternative: Light the rocket motors on a delay fuze. Launch it into the enemy camp in a ballistic arc, like a mortar. Watch as it hits the ground running, tearing through the whole camp like a spinning top on steroids.

Add C4 with another delay fuze for extra lulz.

Thing is, all rockets in WW2 were like that. Russian artillery was a truck with a bunch of oversized bottlerockets in the back because nobody had computers to guide the rockets.... Guess what exists now?

A device like this, if it had some sort of onboard computer and ability to redirect or cut off some of the rockets to adjust for a wobble would be capable of rolling in a straight direction. It's just that... if you want to guide rockets towards a target, why not just use the same guided missiles you already are using?

Terror factor. Cause fear on the battlefield with a huge things rolling towards their lines. Like having 40 meter tall walking armored transports. Not exactly practical, but good for causing fear in the enemy.

The funny thing is, I just don't see a way you could successfully upgrade the thing to use it in battle. It's just and weapons upgrade that's hit its evolutionary dead end.

It's still cool looking though.

That's just the Joestar Secret Technique. The Joestars were English nobility, of course she would have knowledge of it!

It just needs a stability upgrade. Put a second barrel and a coupler between them like a little car and switch the propulsion to the center of mass. Add some electronic steering and you've basically reinvented the exploding drone.

They had remote-controlled exploding drones in WWII, both the Germans (Goliath) and the British (Mobile Land Mine) - but they weren't super effective, due to the technical limitations at the time.

You assume something uncontrollable can be expected to reliable roll into the enemy's camp. Instead of the middle of nowhere, your logistic route, or worse...your own base.

Instant barbed wire laying machine? Yanno, strap on barbed wire around the barrel, lighten up the center explosives barrel and anchor the other barbed wire end. Or you can even leave the barbed wire untangled and make it a giant doom ball of barbed wire rolling uncontrollably in the middle of enemy's basecamp.

You still have to figure out how to aim the damn thing.
