Hello, I'm Adrian and today we're taking a look at the top 10 best armored suits.
Mandalorian armor technically doesn't completely envelop it's user like a traditional armored suit,
but it still acts very much like one. And don't even get me started if we're talking
about authentic Beskar armor. That metallic sheen, besides looking awesome, is durable
enough metal to withstand a direct blaster shot and can repel lightsaber strikes. Think of it
as space adamantium. The design of the armor is instantly recognizable and it's a perfect blend
of a medieval knight and intrepid space bounty hunter. It frankly should be higher on my list,
but again, it's already skirting the line as it's not technically a full fledged armored suit, more
like just armor. But what it is, is an incredibly cool looking ensemble that commands your attention
even if he is standing with...that....adorable...I mean... just look at that little guy!
The Nanosuits are powerful and extremely versatile sets of tactical combat armor.
It absolutely envelops the user and gives the wearer a variety of superpowers
such as muscle augmentation or optic camouflage, predator style. It's design
is as if you took your actual muscle structure inside your body, turned it into grayscale,
hit that liquify button in photoshop to everything it's got, and then strapped on your
paintball mask for good measure. But for a suit to literally look like what its supposed to do,
ie muscle augmentation, is actually a very unique feat among the suits on this list.
Also known as the armored suit that Master Chief wears. This technologically advanced
combat exoskeleton system was designed to vastly improve the strength, speed, agility,
reflexes and durability of a spartan super soldier in the field of combat.
It was also worn by the stars of that excellent webseries that began way back in the day of Red
vs Blue. It's bright colors stand in stark contrast to other armored suits and although
the version worn by master chief is Green, you'll usually see every color under the
sun if you're playing a round of multiplayer in the games. It's design looks very tough,
yet still highly functional as you can imagine that if something like this were to exist
it could be useful in combat. According to lore each suit costs as much as a small starship,
so in other words, about the price of a first edition Shadowless Charizard.
The Guyver units, also known as g units, unit g's, bio boosted armor, Guyvers, or super cool
anime armor are mysterious bio organic suits of armor that bond with a host - enhancing
its own capabilities and grant them an array of weapons. So you can think of it as a symbiote from
Spider-Man, but in this case it envelops you in a coat of armor. The name of the suit comes from the
ancient creators language which means abnormal, non standard, out of control, or totally radical
dude! The Guyver armor does have an impossibly cool transformation sequence and the feature film
Guyver Dark Hero stars none other than the voice of Solid Snake himself, David Hayter,
so that alone gives it so many brownie points. Who am I kidding? It gives it all the brownie points.
The suit first appeared in Amazing Spider Man 682 in which Peter Parker
created it to better fight each one of the supervillain members of the sinister six.
But I first saw it in the incredible PS4, later PS5 game, Marvel's Spider-Man. It's the reason
why the suit frequently appears in his fighting styles video as it was one of my favorite suits
in the game. I really enjoy how it's more on the bulkier side of Spider-Man suits and it
gives him an armored, but still lithe, look to him. The red and black color scheme is
also fantastic and the glowing eyes give it a menacing look. I still struggle to think that
the game sometimes wants you to believe that he can fit that suit underneath his clothes.
Unless he was wearing MC Hammer pants, or maybe some Aikido pants, I find that highly unlikely.
According to Nintendo Power Issue 162 page 37, Samus's main weapon is, in fact, the power suit.
It's a sleek and impressive piece of armor that gives her incredible powers of agility,
speed, and strength. The suit lets her jump great distances, breathe underwater, function in space
and survive falls from any height. It's also upgradable and has an integrated hand cannon
allowing Samus the ability to switch between various kinds of ammo. It can also transform into
a tiny ball, known as a morph ball. It's gotten several different looks throughout the year,
with one of the coolest looking being the Phazon Suit featured in Metroid Prime for the Gamecube.
And what does Snake think of Samus? Guess I wasn't too far off in my live action
parody of Snake's on a date with Samus, available now in a playlist near you!
The Iron Man armor is an armored suit that many others take inspiration from. It's got plenty
of variations, even within just the MCU, but The Mark VII really is something else. It still boasts
a bulky armored look just like the final version of the suit seen in the first Iron Man movie, but
it looks a bit more streamlined. The gray plates on the thigh give him a nice metallic highlight,
but the suit still remains very similar to the incredible look achieved by the Mark III,
and returns to the classic circle arc reactor that changed to a triangle in the previous version. All
in all, it's a great armored suit, and it forces you to learn some roman numerals,
lest you end up calling his latest suit the mark LLLXXXVH?
Specifically, the Ultraman suit featured in Netflix's adaptation. It was made as
a reinforced model that Shinjiro's father wore, but with added features.
It' gives the wearer superhuman physique, flight, and the ability to launch the spacium beam.
Although the suit is heavily inspired by Iron Man's, I enjoy it's anime take on it and the fact
that it's engineered towards someone engaging in martial arts combat with things like the
awesome forearm energy blades. The color scheme of metallic red and gray is instantly recognizable
and makes him stand out among other armored suits as well. Shinjiro's got some really
great techniques and it was a treat to see him learn to fight different enemies along the way.
To be specific, Gray Fox's Exoskeleton. This amazing technology from the Metal Gear series
provides life support functions, features optic stealth camouflage, can be equipped with an arm
mounted cannon, and also has a radar dampening field. Others have worn modified versions of this
armored suit within the series, but none of them were quite as cool as the OG Gray Fox. Although
he did prefer hand to hand combat, he excelled with weapons as well, wielding his sword with
absolute mastery and style. The suit is a perfect blend of looking awesome as well as being highly
functional. The integrated helmet is also really well designed with it's single eye socket, giving
it a mythical and otherworldly look. Bonus points also go to his incredible sense of poetry with
lines such as him being an undying shadow in a world of light Must've been a Robert Frost
fan back in the day. Or maybe Edgar Allan Poe? Nah, that would probably be this guy right here.
This sleek white battle suit seen in the video game Vanquish was funded by DARPA out of the
ambition to create an infantry unit that exceeds the mobility, firepower, and situational awareness
of existing main battle tanks. The suit is equipped with amazing powers such as it's AR mode,
enabling the user to move so fast the world around him slows down. Or one of videogames
most over the top acronyms, the Blade system which stands for battlefield logic adaptable
electronic weapons system...somehow. It gives Sam Gideon the ability to transform his weapon
into different configurations. The suit also enhances the users physical strength and speed,
allowing Sam to perform all sorts of cool melee moves. In short, because of
it's unique and engaging design, awesome transforming abilities, and the fact that
it's great for both short and long distance combat, the ARS takes the top spot.
