Powered Armor: Difference between revisions

(As the picture demonstrates, bulky is hardly a requirement.)
Line 308:
* In ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', most military/mercenary groups wear some or other powered armor, which can deflect small arms fire, increase strength, compensate for impacts and fly, thanks to [[Artificial Gravity|inertiics]]. Doyt-Haban was wearing an experimental suit with integrated AI and escort mini-drones. There was also a security team with suits that can stand up to quite powerful weapons, with integrated pistol-sized gun on top of the helmet. Tagon's Toughs used bulky armored suits, which was civilian-grade gear bought on the cheap, then switched to [[Latex Space Suit|form-fitting]] low-profile armor, and later got an advanced heavy armor, worn when they expect the fan to be hit hard - with autonomous lifesupport (as in, [[nanomachines]] recycling the wearer's waste) and [[Shoulder Cannon|pauldron cannons]] with their own low-grade AI that can [[Attack Drone|detach and fly around]].
* Tessa and the rest of her squad of [[Super Soldier|super soldiers]] in ''[[SSDD]]'' are field-testing experimental powered armor that is controlled using [[Nano Machine]] implants as of the current arc (which is backstory), she has been seen using the armor in other story arcs that take place later (from her perspective).
* ''[[Nodwick]]'' played with thes a few times. Piffany gets a suit [http://comic.nodwick.com/?comic=2002-03-17 at one point], as an ''Aliens'' [[Shout-Out]].
** [http://comic.nodwick.com/?comic=2001-07-31 An extra] from Aaron Williams.
* [[Never Mess with Granny|Abigail Primrose]] in ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]'' owns a suit of [[Bubblegum Crisis]]-styled Powered Armor capable of flying into space. It was given to her by [[Our Dragons Are Different|space dragons.]]
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' the 4U City military initially seemed to be using [[Giant Robot]]s, but these were later revealed as being this trope.
