A little wile ago I saw a documentary about a real life suit of battlearmor being tested. It was not armed or armored but they said that they could put weapons and armor on it if they wished to, it is only a test bed to work out the technical problems for the next generation that would most likely be armored but still not armed. It was so good, the guy that was wearing it balanced on his toes of one foot. They showed a lot of things that it could do but I was impressed by him balancing on his toes by far more than anything else they did.

Oh yeah; recent prototypical battlearmor can be accurately compared to an unarmed and unarmored PA(L) suit. They just lack the fuel cell/battery system of power normal battle armor use in BT...

The last thing we need is to make super humans that will end up thinking that inferior non genetic engineered humans exist to be mere property. There has been plenty of examples of normal people that thought that just because of their birth that they are superior and can enslave or murder people that where not born like they where. We don't need to genetic engineer monsters to enslave us.
