P.S. I know versions of this thing have been around for a while, but I hadn't seen one so far along nor in action before.

I think it more closely resembles the idea behind the powerloader from Aliens.

[Nuke]

pretty ****ing cool. not something id take into combat but id certainly want one if i was a weapon loader on an aircraft carrier.

...powerloader from Aliens.

...or the Mjolnir series of battle armors from Halo, or even Ironman's suits (just add a backpack with jets! ). The only parallel to terminators was that they could be made independently operating versions, which would be closer to Terminators - which are, after all, endo-skeletons. Covert operations models (before T-1000 anyway) have living tissue over metal endo-skeleton, if I remember the famous line correctly... This is living tissue inside a metal exo-skeleton.


I want one of these, if only to turn it into a Mjolnir armour. Ho much do you reckon I would have to pay for one?

[BloodEagle]

There's a better one out there, but I can't remember the name.

Welcome to Roughnecks.

That's Rasczak. And yes, this is presents the first few steps towards Starship Troopers-style powered armour exosuits. Hopefully one day we'll have fully or at least partially autonomous armed forces, removing much of the tragedy from modern warfare.

Spelling varies from the book to the movie film ...thing. In the book it is originally as you wrote it, but I didn't really bother checking either.

I could have went the easy way though and just make it Rico's Roughnecks!


...Also, what do you mean by autonomous armed forces? Purely military personnel in control of all three branches of power from Mr. Montesquieu's classification (legislative, executive and judicial power), without civilian governments, parliaments or courts?

Actually, I believe they only went with 'Razak' in the Roughneck Chronicles, which itself was a very cool little series.

Whoops, meant 'automated'. Freudian slip revealing my true political leanings, perhaps?

[Kosh]

I think he meant something like the Cylons.

Burn the Heretics! A open mind is like a castle with it's gate unbarred and unguarded!


LOL...the bulkier version does resemble terminator suits somewhat...a very primitive terminator suit

Nope, again, wrong. MJOLNIR BATTLE SUITS ARE ORIGINALLY FROM MARATHON, THE VERY BEST FPS *EVER*.
Halo sux.

Blasphemy! Burn him!

I saw this a few years ago in a Believe It Or Not book. The user of that one felt only a maximum 5 pounds of force exerted on him while doing any of those tasks and more. And that was two years ago, a third of the development of this robot! Imagine how good it is now!

The only thing Emperor asks for is your complete obedience.

[TrashMan]

And the will to kill off all of his enemies...and the skill the use a bolter and chainsword

[Flipside]

Surprise Buttsecks!



Seriously though, the first one looks like a Terminator from the Movies, the second one does resemble Terminator armour from WH40K.

Now why does that look like something from Ghostbusters? 

[Sasquatch]

I don't know if there is any way for me to be more excited about this.  Seriously, this is a step toward human-controlled Mech fights!  All of my dreams are coming true:

1.  Gundams
2.  Metal Gears
3.  Evas
 


Ahh, gotta love the new ways in which humans can kill each other
