	Armor
		Juggernaut armor was originally developed during the Rise of the Empire era for use by large mercenary and militia forces that required additional heavy firepower for infantry support without additional manpower.
		The power cells on the suit are easily disrupted, though, and if the wearer takes any damage while the camouflage effect is active, the suit shuts down until the power cells can be recalibrated (a process taking roughly 10 minute).
		The armor also includes a copy of the utility belt stormtroopers are issued, which includes high-tension wire, grappling hooks, several spare blaster power packs, ion flares, concentrated rations, spare comlink, water packs, 2 medpacs, and some additional supplies pouches.

	Powered Armor
		Powered armor of various types is a long-time concept in science fiction, the basic idea having been around since at least the Forties.
		Soft armor - such as is used in ballistic vests - has the advantage that it is lighter for the same level of protection, in part because it yields with impact, catching the projectile like a net.
		Armor on a tank or a battleship is angled in the vertical plane - that is, away from the horizontal - but that isn't practical for armor on a human.

	Ghost in the Shell -- Armor
		Nonproficient Bonus: The maximum amount of the armor’s Hardness that can be applied to the wearer’s if the wearer is using armor with which he or she isn’t proficient (doesn’t have the appropriate feat).
		Most medium armor (except for the archaic chain mail shirt) is not terribly heavy, but nonetheless provides a significant amount of protection—at the expense of some speed.
		Note: If an armor had 1 HP and is struck, it gets all the advantages and defenses of THAT attack and these penalties occur after that attack is resolved.

	Iron Man's armor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All of Stark's armors provide protection from physical and energy attack (through both the materials the suit is made of and the force field the suit can generate), a sealed environment, assorted onboard weapons systems, enhanced strength, flight, and various communications arrays and sensors (such as radar and radio).
		Powered by flat linear armature DC motors (rechargeable via any electrical outlet), the exoskeleton boosted the strength of the wearer by about 10 times, and employed negative feedback for motion sensing.
		The armor is powered by a Beta Particle Generator and solar power converters and controlled by a Cybernetic Interface and Battle Computer to enhance reactions when in combat.

	Artificial powered exoskeleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An artificial powered exoskeleton is a self-powered exoskeleton typically intended for use by humans in battle, construction and survival in dangerous environments.
		Powered armor is heavily used in science fiction role-playing games, such as Rifts, to allow weak and mundane humans to compete in combat with supernatural and super-powerful adversaries.
		Two common examples of Powered Armor (or just Power Armor) in that series are the 10 foot Glitter Boy, which is covered in a coat of mirror-like, laser-resistant alloys; and the jet flight capable Strategic Armor Military Assault Suit (commonly called the SAMAS or Sam).

	Getting you out of your armor (RPG) - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		For the science fiction RPG I'm working on power armor and suits of flexible "plasteel" are viable forms of defense needed in the wild west like frontier environments (as protection against brigands, monsters and the elements).
		Armor plating will lead to greater bulk and mass, which will mean less agility and flexibilty, greater inertia (which will be interesting when trying to dodge things) as well as a certain ungainliness which will probably cause the unskilled wearer to bump into stuff a lot and break things.
		Powered Armor is owned soley by the armed forces and anyone cought with PA is automaticly hunted down by the military.

	(DN100.2) Powered Armor
		Note that "dead" PA boarding parties healed by a Legendary Doctor during a scenario will not have their armor, but will be a single individual with no combat capability (unless combined with four other such individuals, in which case all of them are then treated as a single boarding party).
		If more than 100 turns has elapsed, the pack may be recharged at any power source owned by the player controlling the PA unit (or his allies), e.g., inside any ship or base, but this will require the PA unit to take no other actions for one turn.

	Armor Charts
		The ACN has an advantage over most heavy armors in that it can be packed away into a compact case, and carried on the back over terrain treks.
		The armor is very restrictive, but it's stopping power more than makes up for it's lack of mobility.
		Full movement is allowed as long as the suit has power, but without it the movement drops to 10 and doesn't allow the wearer to run.

	"Armor" \| Gas Powered Garage
		You'd need to have equally sloped armor of equal thickness on each side of the tank, and the engine, crew, propulsion, and turret must be in the center - that makes a saucer-type thingy - and additionally increased armor on top and bottom to protect from bombers, artillery, and mines.
		I prefer to think that the reason you put more armor on the front is that it's more useful to have that armor on the front then the back.
		Really you have like 30 tons of armor you can put on the tank for weight reasons, then putting 20 at the front and 10 at the back is more useful then 15 at the front and 15 at the back since you expect to receive more enemy fire to the front of the tank.

	Oversize Armor
		The armor itself is constructed of fifteen layers of this fabric, a metal mesh that is as soft as silk until polarized to iron toughness.
		The armor was powered by a Beta particle generator (based on Stark’s recent breakthroughs at Accutech), which provided a nearly unlimited power supply.
		The armor of the Oversize suit itself was made from crystallized iron with titanium nitride, all covered with the usual refractive coating to deflect energy weapons.

	Weapons and Armor
		Camo scout armor is designed to protect the wearer from both attack and discovery.
		Embedded within the armor are miniature photoreactive fibers that allow the armor to absorb light and change color to match its surroundings.
		The armor can operate for 24 hours on a set of four standard power packs, after which time it ceases all function; the operator suffers penalties as if he lacked the Armor Proficiency (powered) feat.

	Bulky Powered Armor - HERO GAMES Discussion Boards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		IIRC all the powered armor suits in Golden Age Champions took this Limitation, reflecting the fact that they were massive and (by the standards of modern-day comic tech) crude designs.
		If you're talking about the fact that the character has to store his power armor in a panel truck, but once he puts it on he's fine, then I'd give it a -1/4 Limitation that essentially amounts to a restricted "startup" condition.
		My idea was for an armor that was bulky to have around but didn't particularly hinder combat once worn (server motors, etc...) I was planning on buying some other things for it to reflect it essentially being 'big', KB resistance, DCV penalties, etc...

	Science Fiction Game Reviews
		In the Heinlein novel, the MI was all about their powered armor.
		In the movie, the armor was ditched so the actors' faces could been seen and the special-effects hassles avoided.
		Powered armor is available, even suits that allow the novel's trademark bouncing, but the characters must progress through several missions before the threat level becomes high enough that all troopers will be provided armor.

	Powered Armor? Text - Physics Forums Library
		If power armor were hit by an EMP then it would be useless and the person inside would be trapped.
		Sure, the power station would be a massive target and would take out all the powered armor if it were hit, but you could always have a backup, and plenty of defenses...and make it mobile.
		With such power armor, soldier could be be exteemly mobile, invulnerable to bulets and could take down 10-20 soldiers in close combat and even more in distance.

		I'm sure the immense weight of the armor would outweight the buoyancy of the inflatable layer, and it could also be inflated with something like gel instead of air.
		About the size of power armor, as allready said it should be up to 2.5m.
		Well I think the power armor we're talking about is a 5 to 10 year project, if it is pursued.

	Gamma Knights Powered Armor
		New suits of armor have only 1d2 built-in weapons (selected by the GM), no matter how many hardpoints the suit has; these extra slots can be fitted with weapons claimed from fallen opponents as the suit's wearer defeats other Gamma Knights.
		All weapons are powered and/or munitioned separately; also, any weapon designed to be mounted on armor has x1d3 the normal ammo capacity of a regular weapon of that type (representing ammo drums, missile racks, extra energy cell slots, etc.).
		A man in power armor is a nigh-unstoppable force unto himself, and should face off against threats appropriate to his stature.

		Powered armor is generally not built using vehicle rules but rather a combination of powers, characteristics, limitations, and advantages run through a focus (the suit of armor).
		In the 20+ years I have been running Hero games, I have found the vehicle rules to be a problem when applied to powered armor suits.
		Mecha are not powered armor suits, they are giant walking robots with a driver instead of a brain and they definitely fit better as vehicles.

		It takes the same basic idea of a "Power Armor" system like Heinlein's, but takes it further than he did.

		Beyond a certain point, those armors energy fields will start affecting their bodies, and it might take them a lot longer to figure out how to counter the effects.
		Their are plenty of competition to Stark technology in building powered armor currently anyhow.
		Stark's abandonned (at that time) satellite would have fallen to Earth, and either the aerobic super-bacteria would have wiped out all life on earth or the organic "satellite-killer" would have been loose on earth and act like a berserk Doomsday from DC.

		Some of S-Mart's power armor is very advanced in comparison to most North American manufacturers, due entirely to Project Archive found below Shaquela Castle.
		S-Mart President Ace Ripley, has just unleashed a new series of power armor units, via statement, designed to reduce the risks of many civilian fields, as well as increase work performance completed by properly trained and indoctrined construction/industrial workers.
		However keep in mind, that Desert Star has no intentions of releasing extremely powerful units into the world, and reserves the right to refuse orders if deemed to be too powerful or difficult to construct.

		The balance of the S.A.F.S., it's power supply and enclosed cockpit, lent itself as the ideal platform for an expanded weapons package.
		As this weapons package was expended, if unable to reload or refill in the field however unlikely, could be discarded, allowing the suit to operate under it's own limited power.

		Body armor has been devised for the commando forces that are to be dropped on Banshee-the home of the most implacable of humanity's enemies.
		A trooper in this armor is a one-man, atomic-powered battle fortress, but he will have to fight a nearly endless horde of berserk, hard-shelled monsters.
