Description

The Hammer-E (or Hammer-Enhanced) On-Demand Combat Armor is an experimental prototype designed to replace the Hammer v2 Nanosuit. This armor utilizes the latest in Ed Batten's advancements towards a stronger, more powerful, and lightweight armor type. With a more powerful musculature, thicker multilayered SHIELD armor plating, and an underlying, ultra-strong exoskeletal framework, the Hammer-E On-Demand Combat Armor provides for higher power output, better offensive and defensive capabilities, and more complete protection for the wearer, making this newer version of armor far superior to the older model in all respects.

Description

The Hammer-Enhanced Externally Assembled Combat Armor is a radical redesign and upgrade of the original Hammer Combat Armor. Aesthetically derived from Leo's Spartan Combat Exoskeleton, The Hammer-E suit benefits from being designed to fit and work with Ed's unique physiology resulting from the Guardian Project. Featuring more powerful nanomusculature, weapons, and propulsion systems, as well as thicker armor, this suit is a versatile, highly capable and formidable combat unit.

2 forearm-mounted 10mm caseless light machine guns
2 collar-mounted visually-targeted rocket launchers (10 rockets per launcher)
2 outer-thigh mounted heat-seeking missile launchers (5 missiles per launcher)

Description

The Spartan Combat Exoskeleton is Leo's take on the Ranger Project. Designed to incorporate the best features of Batten's previous exoskeletons, the design has expanded to allow for more control surfaces, air-to-air missiles, and extra thrusters for more flight power, allowing the wearer to engage in air combat maneuvers with even the latest of high-performance military fighter aircraft, without sacrificing its close-combat capability on the ground.

Designation: Combat Multipurpose Aggressive Response Exoskeleton
Version: Mark VIII
Name: Cavalry Armored Exoskeleton

2 forearm-mounted wire-guided rocket launchers (6 rockets per launcher)
2 forearm-mounted 10mm caseless medium machine guns
1 shoulder-mounted 7.62mm caseless minigun

Description

The Cavalry Armored Exoskeleton is yet another take on the Ranger Project, developed shortly after the Hammer suit. Designed primarily for close combat situations in urban environments against multiple opponents, this suit is armed to the teeth with weaponry ranging from blades to machine guns to rockets, allowing the user to engage targets at any range. A full sensor suite with an intelligent targeting system allows for the targeting of multiple hostiles at once with pinpoint accuracy. The most impressive feature is a five barrel 7.62mm minigun mounted over the shoulder on an independent swiveling arm mount, which when coupled with the intelligent targeting system allows the user to engage hostile targets in all directions at once. Heavily armored, bristling with weaponry, the Cavalry Armored Exoskeleton is a machine of war with few equals.

Description

The Seraphim Intelligent Armor System, as far as names go, is rather inadequate to describe what exactly this armor is. While the components of the system are indeed nearly identical to those used in Ed Batten's Ranger Project suits in many ways, they are in fact closer to being biological in nature, with far more complex structure and seamless integration between them than anything Edward himself could even begin to understand. Created by the D.I.A.N.A. of an alternate timeline, the 'suit' is in fact a reconfiguration of Erinyes's entire body at the molecular level, a feat made possible by D.I.A.N.A.'s cross-manipulation of unique genetic material and the technology of her creator in the alternate timeline. With each cell being adaptable in this way, this armor is capable of tolerating stresses and performing feats that even Batten and his unique physiology can't touch, and is additionally able to seamlessly adapt and integrate nearly any type of weapons technology into its matrix.
