  • Yeah, there were more dramatic pictures, but this one showed the armor vs. the flesh the best.

    And, looking at the pictures, it also looks like significant overkill on the amount of force called up.

  • That cop looks like the Borg.

  • To me he looks like a low budget 80's movie "storm trooper" type.

    Aside, the Borg was cool. It was the ultimate Sci fi enemy.
