Robotic suit amplifies human strength



The military is working on this, and has a semi- functional prototype. This is the basis for Robert Heinlein's novel Starship Troopers .
The Master's prediction begins to become reality-- but then I'm not surprised, except that it's happening now.

There are a lot of problems associated with the project. Power is the primary, of course. Energy to raise an arm with 100 lbs on it takes energy. Where does it ALL come from? Perhaps I'd see the power suit from ALIENS much sooner. Space for an energy package that one has.

I have wondered why Serenity had a hovercraft, notwithstanding Joss's commentary, but no pwer suit.
