XOS Exoskeleton for the Military
Apr 17, 08 03:45 AM PDT
Exoskeletons have long been stories of fantasy, and now we have the XOS exoskeleton from the military that has been realized from conception into the real thing. When fully powered up, it is able to pull down weight of over 90 kilos easily without the person inside breaking a sweat. It has an agility which can match a human's helping us perform tasks more efficiently at superhuman level. Hopefully security surrounding the XOS exoskeleton will be tight - can you imagine folks with malicious intent after getting hold of this suit? They will probably run amok with it, breaking into banks and performing heists without the need for too much muscle.

RUN? AMOK? I know you know this and you are just being sensational, but just in case the uninitiated were getting a bit antsy...
You see that gigundo wire coming out of the exoskelly's back? That is connected to a Battery as big as a small car, weighs twice as much, and lasts for about 40 minutes.
Ergo...
'Aint no modified humanoid goin' nowhere
(if you can grok my colloquial double negative)
