I think I saw master chief in there somewhere.  

Crazy shit but, nothing I haven\'t seen before.

I think everyone knows even 20 years ago exoskeletons would become a staple to combat in the future. I remember reading an article in Popular Science back when I was in 7th or 8th grade with sketches and descriptions of an exoskeleton the military wanted to build. This could be the same one. i dunno. Either way, the suits they showed looked pretty cool. I didn\'t like the bulky one though. Looked too much like the Juggernaut.

[Evi]

What\'s wrong with the Juggernaut?

^ True that, I\'d wear this to the ghey clubs even if it didn\'t give me super powers



I hope my suit will have extra space in the groin area to give the illusion of a normal sized penis

I think i saw one in this forum that was created in japan,...but this one here seems more fully realized than the japanese version,...i was kinda critical of it when i saw that there was some type of harness connected to the back, but then i later heard that this thing will be fully functional and mobile with an outer protection suit,...really impressive stuff...:thumb:...who says everything is made in China?....

That is an awesome creation. It scares me how technology evolves to be used in war, but the possibilities in everyday life activities are limitless.

yea..the one piece of technology for war that scares the crap out of me is unmanned aircrafts. Eventually were going to be fighting wars with a bunch of unmanned aircrafts, which would just be retarded..plus theres a lot more caution when human lives are being used.

anyway, i dont see how this can help in battle. The only thing i heard that was useful was helping to load bombs. looks like a bullet-magnet on the infantry guy

tru...no doubt....if the outer suit can somehow be bulletproof,..then maybe,...but it still looks like it might be kinda bulky for soldiers to be movin\' around and engage in true combat,...tho without the suit, it did show an impressive amount of flexibility,...running /walking..etc....what would be great also is if this thing would be able to help paralyzed people....if they could somehow transfer the brain waves into the suit, that would be an incredible accomplishment....tho i know i\'m extremely reachin\' when i say that.

i could actually see that work for people paralyzed from the waist down..use their hands to control the legs. But..people can barely afford the artificial limbs they have now

Well I am pretty sure that under some improvements this suit can make soldiers move faster, jump over obstacles that previously couldnt, and in general go anywhere.

The colors of the suit will ofcourse  not be metalic and white. The right paint job can make a nice camouflage.

Hell, the rifles we have now like to jam in the mud, imagine what would happen to those exo-skeletons.  I could just see those things malfunctioning at the wrong time.  Nothing quite like being in a walking tomb.

I wonder how exo thing would fare against Ripley? She bitch smacked that Alien queen....

I\'d assume they\'d be covered by some kind of plastic covering or something Plus, if its just the exposed skeleton, enemies can just aim for the motors or joints or something.
