take that, xenomorph queen –
I certainly wish I’d had one of these when I was a shipfitter.

Unfortunately, neither Sarcos nor Delta was about to let any journalists inside an actual Guardian XO. They had good reason, though — which became abundantly clear after we took a test run with a disembodied, statically mounted Guardian XO right arm. The suits aren’t just designed to be incredibly strong — they’re also designed for long-term, ergonomically correct operation that won’t destroy backs and knees the way a career in the military or heavy industry tends to. That’s great if you’re a trained professional trying not to injure yourself — not so great if you’re a random enthusiast suddenly given : 1: muscular amplification in a densely packed crowd of thousands.
that term – 50: 1 muscular amplification — is a little misleading. The Guardian XO isn’t really times as strong as a construction worker . The promotional materials we’ve seen rate the exosuit for weights that aren’t out of the question for a very strong human – 653 lbs total, (lbs per arm, 90 lbs per arm at full extension — but inside the Guardian XO, you’re handling those weights while working no harder than you might in a light office environment.
