Thanks for the option to vote: This was hard though because I liked parts from all three designs. a few thoughts
For me 'retro sci-fi' means Forbidden Planet and Jetsons.
We have a lot of armor, and while I voted for C it was for the very 'jetson-esq' boots and gloves. Those rocked it enough to swing the vote that way even though I felt the body of the suit largely duplicated other existing options.
The soft suit (prefer B, but A would be ok) would be preferable for the body, upper arms and legs. Very forbidden planet which is 100% FTW in m book.
Chest detail on A rocks, as would something similar on a sleeve
BUBBLE HELMET is a total must accessory for these if we are going retro.
For my money, give me most of B, add the chest detail from A, and the boots/gloves from C and that would be my dream package.

Retro is outdated, B reminds me of tron which is retro so your wrong in saying it's "the least retro sci-fi". Since tron came out in 1982 it is retro sorry to burst your bubble.

B seems to be the most flexible at base for a variety of concepts for me, plus I love glowing bits.
Though if possible; could we get options for B without rivets/zippers/glow details? Perhaps a matte and gloss texture option for the suit body as well? That would allow even more usability for an even wider audience.
Edit- Like this:
Apologies of course to the artist whose work I butchered.

This is all ugly as hell @_@
@MidnightGuard - on Union you may know me as:
Mr. Vile - Electroman X - Zenodorus - Battler
Naga Knight - Stinkspitter
I really want elements from all 3. I want the chest piece from A, the overall look and gloves from B, with the rubberized joint pleats from C.
This is what I think of when thinking retro sci-fi:
50s: Inv/SS PB Emp/Dark Grav/FF DM/Regen TA/A Sonic/Elec MA/Regen Fire/Kin Sonic/Rad Ice/Kin Crab Fire/Cold NW Merc/Dark Emp/Sonic Rad/Psy Emp/Ice WP/DB FA/SM
Overlord of Dream Team and Nightmare Squad
C!
Dem rings
Stay Gold, Paragon. Stay Gold.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
I'll bet a lot of people are voting for B because of the glow. C with Glow! C WITH GLOW!!! 
(Awesome, awesome job on this set. I am quite pleased with how you're going with the feedback, been following the threads)

Is the glow on costume B gonna be able to be change separately from the colors of the costume itself or is the glow one of the color sets.
This was a really tough choice because I really like B, but I also love C. These are some great designs!
ok.. hmm.. "option D: All of the above" must have been written in invisible ink somewhere...
I really like B, but the gloves and boots of C are too good. Good looking boots are what most of my characters are missing - sorry B, C won me over.

Kerensky: this has nothing to do with underwear
Zwillinger: I put on my robe and wizard hat...
Synapse: I had to resist starting my last post off with "Yo dawg!"
I vote for A
Overall I like the look of B the most, so I will vote for that. Now that I've gotten this out of the way, I'd like to bring up a different point. I've only seen one other post mentioning it so far, so I'll put in my own comment about my thoughts....can we please, PLEASE, P L E A S E not have that stupid pre-tinting on whatever suit we end up with? It totally spoils the look on every costume option I have seen it on so far, and the thought of seeing yet another costume option ruined by it is not a pleasant one for me.
I like C the best but want the option for Glowing bits like B.

Psiberia L50 Kin/Psi
Screaming Mentallica L50 Sonic/MM
Infinity
Arc Voltinator L50 SS/Elec
Mind Fire Kinesis L50 Fire/Kin

I voted A, but love them all.
I will undoubtedly buy this set, and have been wanting it for quite a while.
I vote for B 
Kill the enemy. Take their souls. Drink their blood.
Don't really care, not going to buy anyways.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
I voted B because fo the glow, and I love the bulkyness of the gloves. .. But I also love the sleak metallic look of C.. Arggghh!
It's suposed to be a RETRO suit... no glowing should be allowed in RETRO. The rings on otherhand are cool... total jetsons feel. C is the logical (or only) option by description.
* Dig it! *
And the glow doesn't have a Space Mountain feel?
I'd say that B looks the most retro, but lose the glow.
�Many things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.� I tend to like B
I like the riveted look on B, I like the boots and gloves too. I hope that it has a metallic sheen option.
