Cool scifi armors? For ages, I thought this Lost In Space helmet was the coolest thing. (lemmy.world)

Here’s a short video of it popping onto his head.

Yeah, it’s basically Iron-Man nanoarmor, but this Lost in Space movie came out in 1998, and the full gunmetal rugged aesthetic is still pretty top tier.

What are other unique, cool scifi armors?

That seems like highly impractical armor.

Aside from the fact that it's open around the waist to show booty, it's actually sensible. It's basically cyber full plate armor.

The high heels don't exactly add to the practicality.

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's pretty self-evident I'd imagine.

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but you didn't mention it, so I figured it was worth adding.

A S I D E from the fact that it's open around the waist to show booty

Basic reading comprehension is your friend.
