Picking up 1 Japanese girl isn't very hard....I would be impressed if he had one in each hand over his head.

I demand dual pulse cannons, and a missle pack.

I'll be impressed when you can lift a humvee over your head after it's benn hit by a rpg and take out the bad guys without breaking a sweat...I have high expectations.

KeyserSoze

Just imagine if you were lifting something heavy with those things, and then all of a sudden they broke or the batteries went dead. There's a reason humans are incapable of lifting a large truck or bolder above their heads. If you want to lift a heavy object, get a forklift or crane... crazy Japanese.

Helping people with disabilities would be a practical application, though.

It could lock up in position when something malfunctions or the batteries die unexpectedly, so that if you are holding something, you would just freeze in that position until you could get help (maybe a radio signal to someone or something?).

I had the same idea, and I know a few ways to do it.

Sonic: When you're locked in place you can no longer balance yourself. I.e. you'd fall over. There's a reason it's so hard to get those action figures to stand.

oXYnary

Cool. I can paint it black, and start prowling the back alleys.

sundance

i was thinking i'd paint mine red and gold and fight green-skinned megalomaniacal asians with too much bling...

Moz

all the suit needs is this:

eld

make it green, and add an expansion port for ai-constructs!

sledgy

Wow that Springtail actually has some decent specs. 113mph with a 184 mile range.

Foehammer

KDR_11k

Sadly no anti-tank weapons...

RageUnleashed
