Aside from Melora's assistive pseudo-exoskeleton from the self-titled DS9 episode, is this the first mech suit in Trek? I don't recall any prior, but my memory isn't what it used to be lol.

Is the red angel suit a mech suit? I guess not.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 7 points 19 hours ago

I was just thinking about that! I want to say no since it was basically a fancy space suit that could open wormholes for time travel. I don't recall it having any features that we typically associate with mech suits.

Disregarding the Borg, I can't think of any others.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Totally forgot about the Borg, but I guess I never really thought of those as mech suits.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 6 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, I only really thought of them because (a) the Memory Alpha page for "Exoskeleton" mentioned them, and (b) people have been comparing Zeph here to the Borg since images first came out.
