Description: Experiments began on advanced suits of armor to protect ponies after the death of Big Macintosh, the brother of Ministry Mare Applejack at Shattered Hoof Ridge. Determined that no one’s brothers, sons, or fathers should keep dying in the war AJ obliged the companies working for the ministry to devise a way to protect Equestria’s combat forces from the battlefield itself. The result of her demands, least among them robotics and advanced armor was the suit of power armor. A magically powered exo-skeleton that protected a pony about as well as a tank from kinetic and energy weapons, short of a mega spell detonation the suits are impervious to many forms of attack; although they have an open weakness to magical bursts of energy which forces an emergency fail-safe switch to shut off. But besides the heavy armor, the suits come equipped with complex electrical and computer equipment and the helmets are loaded with advanced targeting systems developed by the MWT’s subsidiaries that maximize the accuracy of the weapons being used. Further, the weight of the armor creates a firm anchor for heavy weapons to be mounted on the suits the firing apparatus is rigged to be compatible with the mouth-trigger in the helmet. Power Armor equipped units though are however incredibly slow, and the manufacturing complexities of the suits and the special training to use and maintain them makes organizing them as combat ready units a slow process.
