I'm surprised that after Mladen Pejic's Pixie was revealed that powered
suits didn't take off more than they did. They've got the hallmarks of a
neat fad - they don't require 100,000 parts to build but they're complex
enough and open to near infinite interpretations - perhaps even moreso than
pods - that they could really get your creative juices going.
My miniwalker, which started out as a powered suit, but grew into more of a
mech, was inspired by the pixie, despite the fact they bear vitrtually no
resemblance to each other. (see
