I give you the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper
The MQ-9 Reaper is the Air Force’s first hunter-killer unmanned aircraft. It is the big brother to the highly successful and sometimes controversial Predator aircraft, which General Atomics said this week had flown over 300,000 flight hours, with over 80% of that time spent in combat.

They say it’s got a 900 horsepower engine and can drop 14 hellfire missiles up someones ass. That’s up from 119 hp and two helfires in the old predator.
That’s my kind of RC blow-shit-up-mobile.
