    Loving it. I suppose the normal route for this suit would be haulage/warehouse work. Does that mean we will need a licsence to drive it? Personally I would love to see an extreme version of robot wars!

    Seems mostly like vaporware.

    220 pounds? I can lift that, and I'm fat, old, out of shape, and asthmatic. This'll be useful when it lifts 1000 pounds, the low end of forklift capacity.

    @MonkeyT: No, I can't. However, we don't know if this thing can yet, either - power supply is bound to be a problem.

    The main fault with the idea from my perspective is that it seems unlikely that using these light-duty exoskeletons will ever be a better choice than just yelling "Hey, Fred! Give me a hand with this thing?"

    Upon being greenlit for active duty, a new Military By-law now prevents anyone from saying the words "Get away from her, you bitch" at any time during operation of the Power-loader.

    Add a roll cage and Caterpillar treads and it would be exactly like the Aliens Power Loader.

    If the screenplay causes spontaneous orgasms, maybe they didn't want to create the movie for fear of triggering mass orgies.

    I'm sorry, "I never had multiple orgasms while reading the first ten pages of a screenplay until Shadow 19 (and I've read a lot of scripts)?"

    Harry Knowles? Is that you?

    Loved it. The music was fuckin hilarious. Ive always wondered about theme tunes from the 80's. Stuff like Thundercats, Galaxy Rangers or Jayce and the Wheeled warriors. Besides Stan (the legend) Bush..who else sings this stuff. I can imagine a Hawkwind wannabe band going into the studio to sing the Thundercats theme whilst thinking...YES were going to make it big time!! Awesome.
