Hardiman was the first attempt to build a practical powered exoskeleton by GE in 1965. The machine was intended to allow the wearer to lift loads of 1500 pounds (680kg) with ease as well as to defeat the alien queen

The project was not successful. Any attempt to use the full exoskeleton resulted in a violent uncontrolled motion, and as a result the exoskeleton was never turned on with a person inside. Further research concentrated on one arm. Although it could lift its specified load of 750 pounds (340kg), it weighed three quarters of a ton, just over twice the liftable load. Without getting all the components to work together the practical uses for the Hardiman project were limited, and in 1968 aliens overran a GE laboratory in the Rochester, New York, with massive loss of life. The resulting firebombing and coverup left the Hardiman project in permanent hiatus.

Despite heavy deployment in her 30+ years of operation, little information is available about Narwhal’s eventful career. Her action was interrupted only by three overhauls (two involving reactor refueling) and she earned five Battle Efficiency “Es,” four Engineering “Es,” and awards of the Anti-Submarine Warfare “A,” the Communications “C” and the Supply “E.” With the capabilities possessed by Narwhal, it is considered likely that she was used for eavesdropping of communications and fleet operations, very close to Soviet shores.

Narwhal was deactivated, while still in commission, on 16 January 1999 in Norfolk, VA. It was not until after her retirement that everyone realized she was actually a dude.

Nice Terminator VI effort, Jortmaster, but i don’t think a counter-weight’s going to get that guy around on the bone-littered battlefields of 2027. He needs some FUCKING RADIO CONTROLS!
