@gothamdarkknight:
Well, legitimate uses could include improved mobility for those whose legs are injured but still retain residual control. For example, atrophied muscles.

BeautifulAgony

Why would you need this unless you're morbidly obese?

gothamdarkknight

I'll stick with my dart-firing stiletto heels with sole-mounted RTs.

BeautifulAgony

I'd like it more if the shoes weren't mandatory. Those scream I can't touch my toes to tie my laces.

lovely socks-baring pants.

love to have these on so i could kick my boss in the ass and claim that the HAL did it. i would then proceed to kick him and apologize again and again.

wow, am i pent up.

Something about a company called Cyberdyne making robot skeletons doesn't sit well with me. Oh well, the global economy is screwed, why not bring on the Terminators?

krunklekick

well that guy does look like he's got a little spring in his step in the pictures.

CraziestGadgets.com

Hmm, some of this sounds a little familiar. A robot named HAL and a company named Cyberdyne. These guys may be ridiculously smart but they need to work on their original names.

PingMaster

I know what im using for my costume this year anyway

@gothamdarkknight:

Or strap on to someone who, you know, lifts things for a living, like a mover or warehouse person.

@gothamdarkknight: Calculate the number of disabled military vets and victims of car collisions and come back tomorrow with that question.

Migo

I wonder, can you run like the six million dollar man while waering that?

starguard

And, so starts the age of heads floating in jars on top of robot bodies . . . like in Futurama . . . for $2,200.

RP747

@PingMaster: Yes, perhaps this company is about to launch a satellite system called "SkyNet" to tell all of these 'HALs' to kill their users.

mattdawg8

@krunklekick:

Exactly.

When they start referring to their website as Skynet, i will be quietly stepping into my Fallout Vault.

@starguard: I'm not sure. I do know that any running-fast sound effects that you make will be much more hilarious when you are wearing the suit.

PingMaster

@starguard: Naahhhhh, naahhhhhh, naahhhhhh.....

Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another dude

@endless:
Relax. If cyberdyne looks like this, we'll win.
...but just incase, make sure you leave some room in that shelter for me.

nosauten

@CraziestGadgets.com: That's because he's also renting an unseen version from extenze.

Could you image creeping in behind one those yuppie speedwalkers types in one of those and sporting the expression as that seen in the second picture? That alone would tempt me to spend the money on it.

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: And whats with the popped collars? Is this the rise of the Douche-bag cyborgs?

bpapa9013

@gothamdarkknight: Seems like as the ability to lift more with your legs increases, the likelihood of destroying your back increases.

Pretty soon, you'll have to upgrade to the other pieces as it slowly destroys your body: robot for your legs, back, arms, etc...

lunulatus

I'd rather rent some robot Popeye arms.

@mattdawg8: The Brits already have a system called Skynet. It's a military communication framework. We are screwed.

$2200 for how long can you keep. What kind of article says the price of the rent and not the amount of time you can keep.

@Curves: Yeah, but who's going to say anything when with it on, she can literally kick your ass through your head.

Women wont ever use these cause we already freak out about wearing stuff that makes our butts look fat.

Curves

I wonder if I am able to do wall runs or somersaults, jump up to 3 stories high and land without breaking any bones with this device. Definitely would consider buying if thats the case.

There should be a market for for people healing from injuries. Broken leg? No problem! No pesky crutches jammed in your armpits!

No_7

Could you jump way higher than normal with these with its 10x strenght?

ilves

Olympics here i come!!

bobojuice

If it can't make me run 60+ m.p.h. or jump 50 feet into the air then count me out.

EricAlder

How do these look with a speedo?

SpiffySteve

I'm really interested to see how these actually work. I can understand their use for elderly or disabled, but definitely not for regular use. I wonder if they could help you lift more weight while doing squats or dead lifts. That would be interesting, but I guess it depends on how strong the material is in the joints and if it will hold up to the stress.

GTgeek

@No_7: You got magic legs!

Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->

Ok last time I worked out 4 years ago I could leg press 1096lbs so you expect me to believe these could help me to leg press 5 tons?

@mhatti3000: If you click through the link you will see the headline says one month.

based on the photos - with these I can ...

go up and down stairs

and pose.

Did I miss anything?

dascoyne

imagine if the batteries died while you were taking advantage of your increased strength and carrying '10 times' more than normal...

undeadmachine

If those pants are included you can count me in.

broho

is no one going to mention the expression on the lady's face?
da da daaaaa

LAWL, mr. fancy pants on the stairs does have this "im so much more badass than you regular legged humans" look on his face.
