What is your favorite Science Fiction Technology?

[brodie21]

Simple, if you have seen tech in a science ficton game, book, movie, or tv show, say which one you think is coolest.

my favorite at the moment would have to be the Arc Reactor from Iron Man, because with enough power, you can do anything.

try to limit yorself to 1-3 choices, remember, its your FAVORITE

 

[Chewster]

The spinners from Blade Runner.

The Voight-Kampff Empathy Test gear is also kind of cool.

 

[Voodoo Child]

TARDIS

TARDIS

Most definitely agreed. Not much that's cooler than a living, time travelling police box.

 

[aww yea]

well i dunno about the details but i feel like lightsabers would be pretty useless

if my calculations are correct (which they arent) the amount of heat coming of that thing to cut through metal like butter would melt you where you stand

also how long would it take for you to cut yourself in half?

more OT: i do like the lightsaber however

 

[Vladan]

That's damn easy... Lightsabers!

 

[Sable Gear]

-Handheld Hitch-Hikers Guide
-Any sort of 'warp' technology
-Varia suit (fuck yeeahh)
-Plasma weapons?

The Infinite Improbability Drive from Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy. Not only can it do literally everything that anything else can do, it also has hilarious side effects. Macro-scale quantum effects RULE!
Close second is the Heisenberg Compensator from Star Trek. Just because it's a truly humorous concept.

Void Shields. Nothing beats a defensive barrier that can ignore gigajoules of concentrated energy.

 

[Matthicus]

Lightsabers win me over hands down. However, I would really like any form of super suit, like the Varia suit, or Mjollnir armor or whatever from Halo. I guess that wouldn't count as science fiction though because it's super close to being a reality. It depends on where you draw the line of science fiction I guess.

 

[Vrex360]

Artificial intelligence.

 

[Snotnarok]

Tricorder from Star Trek TNG, you can find out what's wrong with ANYTHING.

Or the Varia suit from Metroid, that thing does everything.

 

[Lord_Panzer]

"We got Deathstar, we got Deathstar, we got Deathstar..."

Yeah. That.

 

[Zacharine]

When it comes to offensive technologies... I'd go with the Warhammer 40k pinnacle of Tau mobile-infantry: The XV8 Crisis Battlesuit. Has adequate armor, built-in jetpacks and interchangeable weaponry. Fast, mobile and enough firepower to mow down anything short of a superheavy tank.

It has a freaking plasma gatling gun as standard anti-infantry weapon. How is that not awesome?

 

[killgannon]

A Guyver unit is pretty cool in my opinion, wouldn't mind stumbling across one of those.

 

[jim_doki]

sonic Screwdriver

 

[Trivun]

Can't I have superpowers instead? Like Rogue, or Peter Petrelli... Otherwise, a device that enables real life God Mode. Or from a game, Blinx the Time Sweeper's vaccuum

 

[Squedee]

Either Protoss Weaponry or Mr. Coffee

 

[CuddlyCombine]

God.

Just kidding; I really enjoyed Mass Effect's entire tech explanation, though.
