Rumor Pandora - Adding Live Entertainment?

[Prototype82]

I was talking to one of the dress shirt and slacks-wearing cast members at Windtraders who was trying to get a feel for how me and a friend felt about the new drum ceremony. (Although I miss the original, the actors were phenomenal with me yesterday!) He said be on the look out for live entertainment in the ACE base camp area. He said "maybe a little demo with amp suits." and that it wouldn't take place until a few months. It was the only nod I got but I found this very interesting.

Adding entertainment is always welcome. Let's hope something comes to pass.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is an "amp suit?"

I was wondering the same. I still haven't seen Avatar in full. Just bits here and there in passing on television. I assume it's something with that? lol

The Mitsubishi MK-6 Amplified Mobility Platform (or "AMP" suit) is a distant descendant of the first military exoskeletons used on Earth in the mid-21st century.

I hope they can use it to hunt down the hippies that infest Pandora.

The AMP suit is the thing outside Pongu Pongu.

I have a bad feeling about this...

Sounds like a wonderful idea, and easily implemented with existing and proven techniques. Pandora could use some more plussing like this.

Pandora could definitely use some more life. I do wonder what they could do with the suits, though; they don't seem like meet and greet material (plus, you can already get your picture with the suit by the bar), but I'm struggling to think of how they could be used in a show that wouldn't conflict with the habitat restoration narrative.

I still think they need to have a small lab area where scientists are caring for an animatronic creature. Heck, pull a Lucky and have one of the larger creatures walking around and being "reintroduced" to the environment after a surgery.

The only thing I can think of is the use of a re-utilized AMP suit to closely study hammerheads in the wild without getting trampled. I could see something loosely based around those lines. I fully agree with your latter idea.

Yeah, or have them re-purposed as construction equipment to build and maintain the research facilities and keep the paths clear. Maybe have one pick up and carry a gigantic foam "log" or something. If nothing else they could just have the operators inside have big, fun personalities, like lumberjacks or surfers- like many James Cameron characters.

There are a couple areas in Pandora that look like they were originally intended to be a location for ... something. This would make a lot of sense.

Oh, no... please! Not another lumberjack show...!
