In Response To: Re: End of Prototype *Legends spoils* (Metalingus627) : If a suit of MJOLNIR costs as much as a Destroyer, then I don't even want to : know how much that thing cost. They probably wanted it gone because if : they tried to put it into production they would've gone bankrupt. :p Well, actual cost and military expenditure are two different things. An unarmored Military Humvee costs a lot more than a civilian version, despite the fact that the civilian version is inherently more complex and loaded with stuff. The one-off suit uses a lot of existing technology and it doesn't have to be augment-bio-compatible - it just needs to be airtight, basically. It uses simple laser and radio for communications, doesn't recycle fluids, and is loaded out with pre-existing weaponry. All in all it was probably far cheaper and far simpler to build. Kind of like a big desktop PC versus a Macbook Pro.
