Has to be any of the Iron man suits (other than the first two), no question.

Iron Man does look a bit like a Tau in that incarnation.

Tough one.

Chaosified Power armor:


Or the RX78 Mobile Suit


Incidentally, if anyone has any gundams, they'd be willing to part with, PM me

I really like that gundam. Nice primary colors. The other gundams I could take or leave.

Also, speaking of primary colors, does Voltron count? I love Voltron.

I have quite a collection of gundams, but I lost my RX-78 when I was about 7, and I never fully recovered. The rest of them aren't as important as him. I know it would only cost like thirty bucks to replace him with a shiny new one, but I loved that toy, haha.

I watched the first five or so episodes of Gundam 00 and now whenever I see a complicated-looking Gundam I automatically get kind of bored. It's Pavlovian.

Well the newer kits would be better as they always seem to be remaking the Gundam.

Didn't know mechs/mecha counted.

Winner for me is the Zaku II F2.

Same ZAku goodness, but less plain to look at.

It is good, though better on Dwarves.

Yeah, looks best when it's short and stocky. It must be magical, because it fits both Oghren and Sten perfectly!

group i'd say Terminator armour:

having gold for armor just seems


pointless, it is way too soft

If you count mecha, then for me the answer is obvious: Marauder IIc.



It will wreck you from afar, then take your mother to a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.

For myself I really like the starship troopers MI pa suit.


I also love the Captial clity police armour

Three way tie with Appleseeds landmates also

For mecha it would either be MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

or the DYRL Valk with fast pack

My top 5:
Evangel form Armored core Nexus


Wh40k Aquila pattern power armour


Main leading AC Next at Armored Core 4


Generic Eldar armour (dont have any patterns, but I like them all )


White Glint from Armored core 4:For Answer


Yeah, I love the Armored core series really much

Come at me bro

Personally I like Isaac's the best:

If we include mech and not powered armor I'm a big fan of Reaper's CAV Dictator



For more normal armor, I also like the look of the ADPolice...

My list
1. Individual: Kylie Minogue in Silvanemesis Power Armor
Overture of KYLIEFEVER2002 concert tour. too bad i've never been in any gig of that tour. but at then i've became her full fan.

^ What is an inspiration for this suit?
2. Her dancers fron the same concert.

one of my concept art is modeled after the dancer's dress. wanna see the concept art?

3. Vinci Imperial Musketeer. a unit from Rise of Legends
http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/2891/590584-unit_imperialmusketeer4.jpg
shet. too big to fiend here so I link the concept art pic instead

not really "Sci fi" because he looks renaissance to me. AFAIK Musketeers don't wear plate armor but may wear helmets. in this concept art and the 3d render as provided in the link shows that the armor has some kind of "powering" mechanism. possibly by springs. but not sure if it actually works ???
In that setting. a faction of Vinci has a technology that resembles WW1 europeans. they might seem to fight that way too!!

1. Kessler armour set from Mass Effect 2
2. The armour sets from Hellgate London
3. Karskin armour sets

Or possibly red Power ranger.

I really like the Starship Troopers M.I. power armor

the Mk1 looks ALOT like alien rather than being human builts.

this is also my favorite list

^ Nod Light Infantry FlaK armor. a pure material science and a "badass" look

Capt Norris' Gouf Custom from 8th MS Team


Helghast soldier from the Killzone series


Commander Cody (I love all the Clone armor, but Cody's is my favorite)


...that's all I can think of right now

You guy have already come up with pretty much all the cool looking armour I can think of, so I'm just going to leave this here.

Boba Fett's armour.

I think that this is yon best armour

If we're going to include mecha, this one takes the cake.



Syd Mead is a design god.

Tesla Power Armor



Starship Troopers MI power armor (Where it all began )

I'm so very sorry, the Timberwolf can't hear you over the sound of it's own awesomeness.

But you can try again never.

Also, for the Armored Suit... Well, you know the series or not (The books are gak, but entertaining), but Captain Geary's armor is dead sexy.

Spoiler:

As is what's in it.

I say this objectively as a perfectly heterosexual male admitting the physical attractiveness of another male to women.

This denial is over-specific and incriminating.


Anywho, I'll second the Templar armor from Hellgate: London, and throw in the bug-eye Hunter armor, too. That game had some decent designs in it.

Raiden Always!!!

Another favorite of mine is the NCR Ranger combat armour.
