Could alien armor be refitted for human use, like Vanduul chest piece retro fitted to pilot gear?asked by Timothy Muster

TL;DRAlien armour will not be wearable by humans because of size, but there will be human armour pieces inspired by alien materials, though the specifics are unknown.

Right. So I mean that's one of those things that sounds really cool. Like I'm going to take some alien armour and I'm going to retrofit that to me, but imagine going up to Shaquille o'neal and saying "Can I put your shoe on?". It would be ridiculously oversized it wouldn't work, so really we don't expect for this to happen. You're not going to be killing a Vanduul and ripping off pieces of armour and just taping it on me ala Transformers "Take my parts". Type thing. It's not going to happen like that.Now will there be armour pieces that are inspired by alien materials and things like that for the humans? Absolutely, I don't know exactly which ones those are going to be or what they'll be made of.The Vanduul as they are, are at least eight feet tall. So again imagine putting on Shaq's shoes or shirt or something like that, it would be like a dress on you.So no you will definitely have to have some level of human armour that's created by these alien materials but you won't be actually taking a piece of Vanduul armour and wearing it yourself. I don't think that makes a lot of sense.

That's a shame. I really wanted to get that feeling of Shaquille o'neal sitting in that thing you know, walking around.

Yeah right you just walk around with this large torso piece.

Yeah it's got to be like a dress.

Boots! Putting on his, putting on his jersey is got to be like a dress or something.

Good job! I'm like seven feet tall.

But you're not becuase we actually are very specifically one hundred and eighty three centimetres tall.

I think that's right. Is that how tall I am or is that how tall the character is?

You are definitely not a hundred and eighty three centimetres.

What are you talking about?! I'm at least a hundred and eighty from the ground.

I'm surprised you can see over your desk half the time!

So what you guys don't know is that Steve and I share an office. Sort of. We have a little glass door between us because we both get a little bit excitable on Skype. So Steve might be talking. Actually the other day you were [Bleep] about something you were whining a little bit.

I never [Bleep]!

About previewing animations and "Oh Tracy why can't I preview this animation". And he hadn't turned around so it was actually pretty cool. It worked out pretty nice.
