Machine may prove helpful by shooting nine-inch nails from the shoulders and 20-foot flames from forearms

Apparently that bear guy's suit makes him almost invulnerable. But I doubt he can move very well.

The Mecha looks like it'll fall over in the first high wind. But it's a step in the right direction.

Downwards is not the right direction, specially not when you're 8ft up in a steel coffin on legs .... but I think I know what you mean!

There was some mech-type transportation concepts made in Japan that were pretty cool too, like chairs with mech-legs that you could controll with a joystick. They were working prototypes too.

you should watch the documentary on the bear guy ..I dont think he can even walk ..cant remember exactly but I'm pretty sure a crane has to be brought in to lower the suit off the truck ...hehe you should watch the movie: the bear guy goes to the local bar and challenges people to beat him with a baseball bat (with the suit on of course) ...he even does a demonstration on camera ...ya the guy's a little nutso

 

[Brian Damage]

Apparently one test was three bikies with assorted makeshift weaponry...

 

[CptStern]

hehe ya ..cant remember, the movie came out what seems like a decade ago ..shortly after it's release I went to a dinner that one of the guests was Peter Lynch, the director of the movie ..he told some funny stories of his time with the bear guy

 

[Brian Damage]

I want the titanium plating. That sounds cool. The rest just sounds stuffy and hot.
