== Film
* ''[[Star Wars]]'' - The infamous stormtroopers and their predecessors the clone troopers. As well as the Mandalorians.
** Stormtrooper armor blocks radiation, chemical and biological weapons, stun bolts, and most (non-energy) melee attacks, as well as providing general life support and environmental protection. [[Armor Is Useless|Too bad (for the stormtroopers) that the rebels just use simple blasters.]] But, [[All There in the Manual|other sources]] say that while it might be penetrated by a direct blaster bolt, it would at least significantly reduce damage from the absorbed bolt, [[Fan Wank|so the]] [[Short-Range Long-Range Weapon|constantly close-ranges of combat]] [[Fan Wank|in the movies is why the armour seems useless]].
** This is illustrated in the first battle scene in the entire series. Armored stormtroopers vs. unarmored rebel
* ''[[Starship Troopers]]'' - Making the fact that they left out the book's power armor even more obvious.
** The armor props were sold to a ''lot'' of other productions, like ''[[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]''.
Line 53:
* Lots of armor in ''[[Mass Effect]]'', which also functions as a spacesuit when necessary. This is probably because mass accelerator technology has made small arms even more lethal without armour.
** Not so much in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', however, where most of your teammates do not, in fact, wear armour. Interestingly, several of the villains do.
* In the ''[[Fallout]]'' series, being set in a [[Schizo-Tech]] [[Alternate Universe]], armour was very popular both before and after the war, amongst individuals, companies, armies and police forces alike. Its effectiveness greatly depends on how improvised it
* [[Gears of War|The Gears]] wear armour so ridiculously bulky it's a wonder they can move their arms, but they're still just too badass to wear helmets. [[Redshirt Army|Well, the protagonists don't.]] [[And Zoidberg|And the Carmines]].
** It is revealed in the third game that most of that bulk wasn't armor, they are just that large and muscular (Marcus's biceps are two third's the width of Anya's torso).
