Lemmy World Rules

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?

Feel like this movie was super underrated. Everything from the major's battlesuit to the kid's hologram robot pilot station was awesome!

I had a huge crush on Lacey Chaberts Penny in this movie when I was a kid. She was just a few years older than me and I was enamored. I haven't thought about it in like 20 years now.

I guess it explains my dangerous infatuation with rebellious girls in dark eye makeup.

I like the Anubis helmets in the original StarGate movie. Helmets that fold away are always cool.

Even though it just encourages the "ancient aliens" crowd, I can thank Stargate for my love of anything that fuses Egyptian/Mayan/Aztec aesthetics and mythology with sci-fi.

Edit: oooh, and other Native American tribes, too, like The Endless Nation in Hickman's East of West

I feel like a lot of stuff in Destiny and Destiny 2 should count. There are some truly wacky armors in those games, and some really badass stuff too.
