Check This Out: Avatar's Heavy Lifter On Display at E3
June 3, 2009

by Alex Billington
If you've been following the recent developments on James Cameron's Avatar surrounding the debut of the video game at E3, then you've probably already seen the screenshots. But that's not all that was being shown at E3. A few weeks ago we posted one small "spy shot" of a power-suit mech from Avatar. It was our first real glimpse at any machinery from the movie and for some of us, it was quite exhilarating to see. Well, it looks like that spy shot came from the show floor early on, as Ubisoft has the full heavy lifter mech on display. Collider was in attendance at the show and got a few photos of the thing, so check it out below!
After that spy photo hit a few weeks ago, this "heavy lifter" (as it's being called) has shown up in concept art and screenshots, meaning it's either used a lot in the movie or a very important machine. Word is that these powersuits are "worn by human troopers on the surface of alien planet Pandora. One sequence is going to show a group of Powersuited troopers, led by Matt Gerald's Corporal Lyle Wayne fleet, laying waste to a Na'vi village." We still haven't seen a trailer or much else, but with all this being revealed, I think we're getting much closer. We're definitely expecting this to show up at the San Diego Comic-Con in July as well.

I wanna see a bout between this mech and the mech from Aliens, and why the hell not, the mech from matrix revolutions

i think it's grey, but it has purple lights on it from below, so no worries if you're terribly opposed to lavender mech suits

@4, could just be the lighting effect. As you can see, parts of the mech that doesn't have lighting is a dark gray color, more noticeable on 2nd and 4th images. Also, you could notice that the lighting is purple by the people standing around.

Its clearly a colored lighting effect on the display; although a lot of art shown recently looks like an obnoxiously neon, Ferngully-like set. Hype is not always a moviegoers best friend. Here's hoping the Cameron treads lightly no matter what.

I'm debating not watching the trailers. I want to be completely blown away if possible.

Yeah…this is an original design. *sigh*
I need a trailer to be impressed. Everyone so far is thinking this is still a joke especially a lot of friends that saw E3.
