Panasonic commandeers 'Avatar' Powersuit for IFA display of force

Panasonic's IFA press event is just underway, and you know what that means: a whole bunch of TVs. 3D TVs, to be exact, and Panasonic has teamed with James Cameron's flagship 3D feature Avatar to push those wares. Best sign of this blossoming friendship? A few tons of movie prop guarding the Panasonic booth entrance. Hide your pristine wildlife and mystical native forms of understanding, people!

Kinda looks like that thing from District 9.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 3rd 2009 6:04AM]

d9's looked a whole lot cooler though

[Bio Posted Sep 3rd 2009 1:56PM]

Totally d9 mech looked so much cooler.
30mil movie vs 300mil movie :P

[Professor Kaos Posted Sep 3rd 2009 2:03PM]

Yea D9's was way better, sort of like a BIO tech robot like Metal Gear Solid 4 or in Evangelion, the anime. When it gets damaged so do you. Now, can anyone tell me if this is related to that cheezy american-anime "Avatar"? I figured not, but I thought I would check. Its the cheezy show with that bald headed child and his adventures, idk.

Kinda looks like this is the security robot needed at that apple store that recently got smashed and grabbed.

[recharged95 Posted Sep 3rd 2009 12:36PM]

That would require the thing be painted in glossy white and brushed metal speakers blasting out cool rock tunes.

Then it would zap you with a high repair bill.

And i thought avatar was that comic thing on nickleodeon.

Offtopic kinda.

Fuck hollywood, if they keep up all the stupid names for movies, it'll soon be hell to find something.
Do you mean Robocop the original, the remake from 2009, the remake from 2011, the remake from 2020.
Hollywood rapes my mind.

wow;)))) nice

[Guybrush Threepwood Posted Sep 3rd 2009 5:32AM]

?

I wonder how this thing would fair up against Ripley and the Power Loader from Aliens. Jim Cameron ought to have that floating around his props collection so let's find out.

Betcha that cannon on his right arm fires hocks of ham =)

Ahhh powered armor. Making a man's hands powerful enough to crush a boulder, yet gentle enough to crush a butterfly since 2022.

[Tueng Posted Sep 3rd 2009 1:37PM]

That hip joint looks pretty vulnerable to me. Take that out and it's dead in the water.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 3rd 2009 7:55PM]

It's made of Unobtainium.

[Graham Best Posted Sep 3rd 2009 6:32PM]

So if the 'Avatar' Powersuit is guarding the entrance to the Panasonic booth, why is there a retractable belt stanchion guarding the powersuit?
