The intent is already there, the machine is just the tool used for that ends.

In truth this suit will be a killer if people with the wrong ideas get theyr hands on it. its not a toy. and cyberdyne have taken it too far. The warnings have been given to the human race. Terminator was a warning for those who havent seen it. We are going into an era of war and devestation. and now these companys want to make money by building tech witch will push people to fight each other. its goin to cause trouble in every way. we need to stop them.

It’s great that they increase the simple function of carrying an item by a certain percentage. However they don’t seem to address the issue of gripping something that heavy though. Great the suit can lift 500 pounds, but your fingers won’t.

Awesome, yeah, but I always find myself unwilling to part with the money; you may look cool now, but who’s gonna look cool when the terminator model comes out? :P

Hey, lay off ed209! So what if it looked like an elecrtic razor with limbs. Everyone knows he would have kicked robocop’s ass if it weren’t for those damned stairs.

OLD!

I don’t see any new news in that article.
Cyberdyne has been collecting investment capital for years now, but I’ve never seen any shows featuring equipment with their name on it. The experimental platforms are slow, unwieldly, and look more like college robotics projects than sci-fi forklifts. I call vaporware! — See Moller SkyCar

Regarding Terminator, battle suits, killbots, and the rise of electronic warfare: See iRobot. They make those cute little robot vaccuums. They also make honest-to-god military death machines. I once stepped into a small meeting room filled with officers, engineers, and several large mechanical lumpy things. The first entity in the room to make “eye contact” had a camera and a searchlight. (Picture a four-tracked drive platform resembling Johnny 5, topped by a large calibre turreted Gatling gun and an armored handycam.)

I’m more worried about Furby and iPhones than ED209 and killer nanobots.

That’s pretty damn cheap. Now all we need to do is get rid of the current battery and add in a fuel cell instead. Then we can add in BERP aroumer and a kick arse helmet that automatically translates voice for you. And we are on the way to Air Battle Force.

sorry for the double post but I just realized that Cyberdyne systems is the name of the corporation that built the terminator.

Hey, I’m going to wait for the later generations. This is awesome, but I want to be agile enough to run alongside cars, jump over houses, and do one-handed handstand pushups with Magnús Scheving.

Yeah ites primary aim in its design notes is to aid people with tasks such as heavy lifting (barrels, engines etc) and to aid people who would normally have a hard time using their limbs. I have been wondering though how it would work on someone with Narcolepsy *_* it knows what musles are doing and imitates them…If it imitates someone going limp it would probably crush them?! anyone found if it has safeties applied to solve issues like this?

That might be possible, but can you imagine the “IronFogey” jokes? ;)

Most interesting from a medical stand point. People might be able to get out of beds or wheel chairs.

As long as it gives me STR+2, AGL-1, DR30 and RAD Resistance +40 I’m in….
