Conventional Power Armor Idea with just enough organitech

Unread post by LJ »

Personally I blame all the Exo-Squad and Aliens I've been watching lately. Plus I've also been replaying Earth Defense Force where a huge part of the game is fighting giant ants and spiders, and a few levels you can hop into a really slow moving battlesuit that can mow down everything in front of you(everything to the side and back of you is a different story since it moves like a sloth through molasses).

Anyways, all of that combined got me thinking about the awesomeness of beating up bugs with a big metal death machine. But there's the obvious problem of the bugs being able to do their bug thing, so there's just enough organitech mixed in to prevent them from doing their thing.

-Sprayer: Arm contains a flamethrower, bug repellant sprayer, or bug juice sprayer.
-Launcher: 40mm grenades or mortars
-Melee Weapon: large axe, spike, claw, etc

History: There are as many histories as there are models of this Power Armor. Most usually revolve around the need of something that packs enough punch to stand toe-to-toe with a Bombardier Beetle, a large group of Army Ants, or an even larger number of zombies. Utilizing what Organitech they could grow, scavenge, or steal and combining it with a pile of junk, eggheads from all over have managed to create freakish machines to fight the Bugs in.

I like it.

Unlike PA in Rifts or other games, this is a workingman's power armor.

Pretty cool. I think I may design some kind of troop transport truck to move these and a bunch of guys right up front into a battle.

Seems like a good idea. You should flesh it out more, though.

I'd like to see a full warite-up on this suit, whenever you get the time!
They can't see me...Right!?
