So I%27m kinda %0D%0Awondering where I can go from there.  %0D%0A%0D%0AMy thoughts are definitely on a landmate type suit...%0D%0Aalthough protectors may be a good idea. Not so sure what%0D%0Aan unarmed K-11 could do though.%0D%0A%0D%0ADranger

While I wouldn%27t exactly recommend Otaku Files as well written %28skipping hastily over other flaws%29 it has one excellent scene where one of the characters is wearing Power Armour. He gets tackled by someone who isn%27t and simply makes sure he falls in the right direction%2C squishing them under a ton or so of metal.%0D%0A%0D%0AI personally would favour sonething along the 40K lines except that most of the good stuff requires invasive surgery before you can pilot it. Or is some cases%2C being dead.
