or crushing peoples' head like the Terminator . . . which sounds much cooler

I like how they pictured an Asian dude wearing the suit, with weights in his hands, only the weights appear to only be about 15lbs LOL

PS, do you know how AWESOME this would be if you had to help somebody MOVE?? except it would suck if you were the only guy that owned one of these . . . you would ALWAYS get called to help move

And we're that much closer to Tekkaman/Teknoman.

I can't tell if those weights are 2.5kg (one on each side would make about 11lbs), which would be lame, or 25kg (one on each side would make about 110lbs) which would be awesome! All depends on a decimal point.

 

[The Question]

Japan already has the T-52 Enryu:

It's a ten foot tall robot with arms used in disaster relief. It can be piloted either remotely or by a pilot inside the cockpit.

Every operator chooses to pilot it in the cockpit, because it's awesome.

This is exactly how Mobile Suits came to be.

They'll come in handy when the Neo Sapiens rise up against us in the future. A cookie to the person who gets the reference.

 

[Boom]

Ironically enough, those suits kinda look like the exoskeletons in Neill Blomkamp's next film.
