Trek Iron Man armor
Trek Iron Man armor
Do you think within what we have seen in Trek that they are capable of creating a Iron Man armor. We can stick to just the MCU.
They have anti gravity technology so they could possibly create personal flight. They got phasers and disruptors so that's not far fetched for the beam weapons.
Power I think is doable but not like how the arc reactor works in the MCU.
Though I do wonder about the armor itself, the robotic exo skeleton that can give its user super strength?

Re: Trek Iron Man armor
well, if you think of a shuttle and how much of its internal volume is... well, open air of the cabin - I mean, a shuttle has to pack in defensive Shields that are probably at a 'Bunker' level (compared to modern day weapons to defend against), Weapons, Sensors, etcetera. I do think a Trek Tech Micro-mechanized Suit of Armor is possible... and a chest or Back-mounted Power source, along with a pair of miniaturised impulse drives (only not for 0.25c speeds!) on the back with "Thrusters" in the boots and hands, along with 'RCS thrusters' in other places... Inertia Dampeners to 'reduce' the "effective weight" of the suit and its occupant so not much thrust actually need to defeat gravity, whilst also meaning that they could do a 300-mph to 0mph "superhero landing" without destroying their knees etc (the current issue with Tony Stark - how the hell does he not have issues from the G-forces involved?!). An Armor that's bulletproof (afterall going '24th century trek-tech iron man suit in 21st century modern day here), and with shield emitters that can even withstand hits from the missiles that you use to kill the bunker beneath the bunker you need to also kill? (yeah yeah you try twisting in Justin Hammer's line about a missile that in the end didn't work)

Re: Trek Iron Man armor
I’m sure.. if we put our Trekkie science fiction heads together, we could come up with something amusing.
(Like how stark survives 300mph-> 0mph stops without suffering from inertial forces turning him into blood pudding inside his suits? Well. If outfitted with micro antigravity units, which form an graviton bubble around his suit to act like a cushion upon collision with objects, then maybe he could survive? Or some such nonsense. :] )

Re: Trek Iron Man armor
When you guys work it out, I am a go for the Veronica Hulkbuster suit. Built several (with Legos) and it has always been my favorite of all the suits.

Those were ski boots, without anything added to the boot section to even attempt to make them NOT look like ski boots.

Re: Trek Iron Man armor
I personally thought of something like this when i did Roleplay on Facebook years ago. I certainly would think its possible. Though RL Marvel might sue Star Trek if they even THOUGHT of doing something like that. In the RP world it certainly is plausible. Plus the suit would have small warp drive units in the leg pieces and boots.

Re: Trek Iron Man armor
So the armor should have:
* Spock's Ski boots (boosted for higher acceleration and longer performance)
* a perfected/long-endurance version of the communicator shield from "A Fistful of Datas"
* the standard Starfleet communicator
* Built-in tricorder paired to the headset from "Field of Fire" (I've figured that the headset was hacked to use the station's sensors to look through walls, instead of using its own sensors which could be detected)
* Phaser strips on the torso armor, but aimed via an eye-tracking system
* Backpack power supply (from multiple phaser batteries or something similar in energy density and capable of providing large surge output)
* Inertial dampeners (if they can be made that small)
* Resistive/Ablative armor
* mini-computer with voice recognition to allow for database searches based on what you are looking at
* Advanced versions of today's infantry-scale active/passive sensors
Limit the weight to something a person could carry easily, or actual powered armor

Re: Trek Iron Man armor
Ahem.
I'd have put more about 'Also I can lift several tonnes blabla' and other things that reference various capabilities displayed in the Iron Man films but... Eh.

Re: Trek Iron Man armor
That’s not true! He had the disco belt to control it, tiny little dial he could play with to make him go up and down.
Sounds so wrong but then, so was the design. Lol.

@ Alex
I LIKED the spoiler! Very cool story & design ideas.

Re: Trek Iron Man armor
Here is my thoughts:
Power supply may not be an issue. I don't think it will be as easy as the Iron Man arc reactor but I can see multiple power supplies, even backup ones. Could even have dedicated ones for each weapon like the phasers on the palms and I guess we would call the chest phaser. The phaser itself has so many settings so it would be possible to make that pretty apaptable.
Dedicated armor I could see a dedicated shield as well as well as a SIF field and inertial dampeners. Probably designed for sudden small impacts like fists or something like that or larger impacts like being hit by something larger.
Flight is obvious. Though this would beg the question why doesn't the space suits have that sort of capability.
Onboard computer like Jarvis or Friday would be easy. Configure your standard Trek computer for the armor and call it Majel.
The big question is and it's because we really do not see this in Trek is the robotic underlying parts that would give this suit of armor super strength and not just make this into a a regular piece of armor. All of those servos and hydraulics etc just isn't something we see in Trek. Best we got is Data and prosthetics that obviously will not fit underneath a Trek Iron Man suit.
Option B is make the whole thing holographic and have the wearer have a setup underneath so it could power such a hologram. Design the hologram with certain features to make it work. Not sure about flight though.
