Powered Armour

If I had the money (and tech) and we knights were still called upon to do battle on behalf of those who cannot, I present to you this - my Paladin Rig.  Sir Edward, if you could make it black with my face in place of the faceplate that would be great!  lol

It would also make a great Crimson Dynamo armor - you know, Iron Man's opposite from Russia.

Sir Edward - WOW!  That was cool!  Didn't think you'd get my face on there good but I can see that's me!

Sir Ivan...I remember him, but no, not really.  Dredd wore a cool uniform but not much in the way of armor that I recall.  D'you think Stallone did the role justice?

I would be all over a set of powered Ironman armor. Even without the propulsion and weapons system.

That's what I said!  Just give me the augmented strength and the ability to withstand high-powered ordinance and I'm IN THERE.

Judge Dredd w/ Stalone was campy fun and I understand that Karl Urban is starring in the remake.

Karl Urban...well, he'll bring some gravitas to the role I'd think.  Stallone took the comic book approach which worked...here's to hoping they make it darker, more mature even.
