"Imagine getting your @$$ kicked by a senior citizen!"

I think that\'s the slogan this Japanese company is shooting for. :D

That\'s really strange. Kind of futuristic. ;) Although I can pick up a tiny Asian woman without the suit. That guy must be a puny bastard.

Yes. It\'s a little weird. Maybe one day we\'ll have an army of super-human soldiers capable of throwing cars or something. :/

The right pic looks like it does. I dunno. I\'m just still thinking if that guy needs help picking up an Asian girl, he needs to get a gym membership.

Some months ago I ve heard about millions spent for military R&D in USA to create robots that can be used in war instead of soldiers.
I dont know if they ment AI autonomous or remote controled.
But I always believed that the Japanese would be the first to use robots, machines or robot suits for many tasks
