Re: US army robot suits tested
It reminds me of the "suit" Sigorney Weaver used when she battled the "Queen Alien", now if the US military could come up with something like that, well.

Yes, the powerloader - we could really use kit like that in the warehouse! Apart from the obvious use in making our jobs easier, you could really whale on a manager with it!

Reminds me of the spitting image closing sketch where Maggie turned into the Alien Queen
Talking of Aliens and the technology used in relation to the US Army, apparently they contacted the makers about the Smart Gun mounts used by Drake and Vasquez to see if they could be used for support gunners in squads.
When they were told it was just a handycam mount, they lost interest.
