ChaseFan9 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I always wanted a powered exoskeleton, but what happens if you lose power or, worse yet, pull an Iron Man 2 and malfunction, ripping you in half. The Half Life super jump module would be the deal breaker :lmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would SO take over a small country to sit in the head of one of those. Hell, I'd probably take over a small country in one of those <lmao> Edit: The Russians and Americans are about 4 decades behind the Japanese on armored suits, apparently manga's been around FOREVER!!!
