Robo-Exoskeleton from Cyberdyne. For realsies.

Thread Starter 
Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. I did a quick search and didn't see anything.

A Japanese company called CYBERDYNE Inc. has developed a robotic exoskeleton suit they call the Robot Suit Hybrid Assisted Limb system, or HAL for short. HAL. By Cyberdyne. This CAN'T be good.

Anyway, if you want to learn more about this device that will surely kill us all, you can read about it on this Scientific American page. I'm personally a little skeptical about the whole thing at the moment.

Looks like some kind of new Nintendo Wii accessory.

But seriously those Japanese are wild with all the shit they create.

So what happen's when these things start getting the RROD while carrying 400 pounds of material?

Well then you just pick up the CYBERDYNE, inc prosthetic robot arms to replace the ones you used to have.

So Cyberdyne has combined forces with Omni Consumer Products. And HAL from 2001 is involved? I gotta feeling Weiland-Yutani has a hand in it too:


Well, we're all doomed.

Or a glitch in the suite "forces" your body to contort in unnatural ways.

This has disaster written all over it.

There is a brief mention of the suit in one of the recent issues of Popular Science. The main article is about an American robo-suit, which is naturally not as streamlined and efficient as the Japanese concept.

Betcha the HAL Suit lets you jump 5000' into the air, makes you as agile as Spider-Man, has lasers, forms a blazing sword when you put your hands together, and has a blistering Japanese rock/pop soundtrack.

Whereas the US suit creaks and groans and you move slower than molasses running up a hill during an ice storm.

Shit.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

So, will us regular humans be killed quickly, be subject to experimentation, or will we WATER BALLOON ATTACK!!!!!!!

Yeah, not so tough now with your circuits all shorted, and your assemblies all soaking wet and rusty, huh, ol' Iggy, ol' Borgy, ol' chum, huh?

Well, I'd guess we'd better start digging and build Zion now. Just somebody bring something besides that shitty rave music.

Foolish mortal. "Cyborg" = part human. The human parts are notoriously wet with various fluids and secretions your species produces (remember how moist and glistening that Borg bitch looked in "First Contact"?). Your pathetic water balloons are useless against us!

Look deep into my eyes.

Listen to my voice.

Relax.

Imagine yourself going down a flight of stairs. The further down you get the more relaxed you become.

At the end of the stairs there is a door. Behind it the secret to your future happiness is written on the wall.

Open the door and read the writing on the wall: "Buy stelios a Japanese made, strength enhancing, robotic exoskeleton".

Now wake up.

Damn! Foiled again by the cold logic of your inhuman, Motorhead loving, mechanical mind. Well, looks like humanity's only hope will be high oil prices - hey 'borgs need lube jobs, too! AND that stuff is finite!

But I have to say, after watching Iron Man, anything the US Military is coming up with in the way of exosuits is sadly weak by comparison.
