Cool scifi armors? For ages, I thought this Lost In Space helmet was the coolest thing.

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?
You're viewing a single thread.
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
The Endless Nation was so cool. I love me some East of West. Someone give me that animated adaption, please.
Hell, what about the Amazon Original series we were supposed to get?
East of the West
Wow thanks for mentioning this! I just got the first chapter and it looks to be amazing! I don't know if it's just Image comics style in general or not but the art style reminds me strongly of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples's Saga as well.
That's an interesting connection, because I'm not sure I see much similarity in the art, but there's definitely thematic and color similarity.
To me, Saga and Fiona Staples take the absurd and gives it a cartoony realism, but Dragotta exaggerates features to the point that it's almost surreal (almost like crossing Dalí and Mignola)
But both series have that Star Wars/Firefly "lived-in" universe feel that makes it obvious that there's a lot of history behind the scenes, and they both have the "space western" vibe, too. Maybe that's the Image style: fleshed-out world building that leaves a lot to the imagination (in a good way)
