Best Armor in Existence

What? Its just like power armour only bigger so it counts.

I think one of the requirements for something being "armour" is that only one person is needed to use it. <.<

Indoril armour, a fine choice for conversations in the Vivec streets. With guards. Try it some time.

Bonus points if you enchant part of it with a super-jump, feather fall and a small burst of damage centered on yourself. Smoke bomb and a leap into orbit, the perfect way to close any polite chat.

MJOLNIR Mark IV armor:

Its perfect.

That guy who mentioned being the Armour of the Protagonist? Yeah. That, hands down.

That said, I love the Armoured Combat Suits from the Posleen Wars saga. Anything that'll let you survive detonating a high-yield tactical nuclear weapon by hand, the flight out to sea, and then the intervening time before someone comes and pulls your smoking torso and head from the water? A-Okay by me!

Plus, it's from a novel that's got Bun-Bun the Killer Mini-lop featured prominently on the front of a 200 foot battle tank. It's hard to get MORE badass than that.

And here I thought I was the only person on the forums who read this series. This was gonna be my suggestion as well, although personally I'd go with the second generation of the suits, the one Mike gets after surviving the explosion.

But it's not only the protective capabilities, it's also for the ability to blast music, create holograms, and generally carry on a form of psychological warfare like nothing ever seen before with just one suit.


(And, on a side note, Sluggy Freelance is awesome.)

If we include mobile "suits" from Gundam, I'll go with Zephyranthes.

 

[The Madman]

My inner history geek instantly conjures of the Knights Hospitaller as most badass looking, frightening, and practical (For its time!) set of armour in history. I mean seriously, these guys were tanks, and throughout history have been as an order involved in some of the most brutal and violent wars and crusades ever fought, for good or ill.

What's more impressive is that technically the order is still alive today, although under a new name. Suck it Knights Templar!

Anyway, debate the morality of that time all you like. Doesn't change that they looked terrifying.

The guys show up in a couple games that take place in that era, Medieval: Total War springs to mind and I'm pretty sure they show up a couple times in Assassins Creed. Of course if we're talking fictional armour only, guess I'd have to go with the Hospitaller inspired armour already mentioned by someone else:

[Sarpedon]

The Gunmetal suit from the game Gunmetal. Giant armoured robot-suit that could transform into an armoured jet on the whim of the pilot and could be loaded out with numbers shooty explody things.

Haha, I'm glad to not be the only person here who's enjoyed that series! And the limited anti-gravity capabilities, the absurd built in weapons systems, and the fact that Iron Mike is one of the biggest badasses ever written...

Spoiler: This thread ends now.

Oh crap! You win.

The armour isnt scary, atleast not until you blow him up and use archemedies II to see him running out of the fire while you empty AP rounds into him. God that guy wa tough, this was normal mode BTW.

Yeah I played on hard. It tool almost every round from my alien blaster, and that's the most powerful weapon in the game.
