After years ruled by GI Joe, Transformers and power rangers. With the growth of anime in children's eyes and the sheer amount of influences blade runner, bubblegum crisis and other tech shows have brought forward, even the modern gi joe movie line... Isn't it about time that one twilight zone powered armor series made it's return?
You know who I'm talking about... Yeah that's right, EarthCorp.

Inhumanoids could easily come back to modern kids, and expand on it's premise while becoming a merchandising juggernaut. Human scientists in powered suits not much bigger than wrestlers in suit, researching, defending, fighting and protecting Inhumanoids from all directions, whether it be the other races that need protection from us and want peace, or the Metlars and other dictators who want to rule, inhumanoids could branch out extremely far. Heck, they could even expand it outside of just subteranean beings even, by changing the inhumanoids definition to something like:
Inhumanoids - Plural Noun. Beings of sentience or inteligence of unknown origin deemed of such magnitude, malevolence, or superiority that they are a direct threat to mankind and or the planet earth itself.

This show and toyline was ahead of it's time in the 80s, but, it's timing is perfect for a return now.
So much has paved the way, from Gargoyles, to power rangers, to even dragon knight, bubblegum crisis, Ironman, Gi Joe, and the list goes on and on, even godzilla.

Keep the retro design, but add in updated modern designs from influences from all the iconic powered armors over the years. (BGC, Halo, Transformer Motorcycles, Original Inhumanoids, Hakaider, etc)
And you could have one epic aweinspiring series and toyline covering all sorts of actual armored flavors as opposed to the 'wussy' spandex power rangers uses. Even something on that line as the marketing tagline. >.>
The science lessons in old shows like this or even Centurions also got more kids into science, and in this day and age, don't we need more of that now more than ever?

My other vote would be for a Centurions academy as the current members are nearing retirement age. Who will take up the mantle, or has? Why are they needed, etc. What's the 'excuse' to get kids interchangable armor hero variety?
