A giant junkbot made of, variously, a ladder, a bathtub, a set of rickety stairs, a slippery rug, a pair of scissors. It brandishes a double-barreled shotgun. Its head is the glaring red eye of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' It is bearing down on a male suited figure who is in the process of slipping and falling on his ass. His head has been replaced by a hoodie, which casts his face into shadow. He has lost control of a laptop that is about to fall to the ground. It displays a Windows Blue Screen of Death.
