  1. The t-45 is my favorite power armor design in the whole franchise, had a simple but great look, has the best helmet design in my opinion, and it’s not like x-01 or advanced power where parts would be impossible almost to find, but t-45 can be much more easily repaired than the other models.

  2. The Sierra Power Armor and the Outcast Power Armor are the best-looking variants of the T-45. Something about a black suit of armor makes it more intimidating. I suppose that's also why the Fallout 3 Enclave power armors looked rad as hell.

    Heh. "Rad". How ironic.

  3. A look into some of the Doctor Who universes designs like the Daleks or Cyberman variants would be amazing, especially with the recent interest in it since Ncuti's casting, Tennant and Tate's returns and the 60th anniversary next year

  4. Funfact: the fallout power armor took a lot of inspiration towards the Novel Starship Trooper's description towards the power armor.

    "The power armor describe it as a steel gorilla."

    In one of the magazine in fallout 4. There is a picture about power armors with jetpacks flying in the air holding Plasma Rifles is a reference and homages towards the novel cover in starship troopers.

  5. I prefer T-45 power armor fully upgraded as it still requires almost nothing but steel to fix. Which makes it easiest to repair in the field and get the necessary supplies almost anywhere. Some of the later power armor suits just cost so much to fix when they've taken damage.

  6. You know If I had the chance to use a piece this equipment in its settings first thing or first of several changes is recognizing it's payload capability, put a big ass rucksack you can find and let the armor carry your weight and set it up like military truck I.E a picketing hitch postitioned around the hip for the best stability with a quick disconnect for a two axle trailer and since the frames in question uses hydraulics put a connection points for feed and returns for the brakes on the trailer with a tank reservoir to supplement for the increased fluids needed. Think about it with just a few little changes you have a machine that has the engineering capacity to do just as much if not more then a 5 ton truck and we haven't even started on the concept that the users can and do with weapons ready in hand and that also just ONE person imagine there's 6 you have a 6 power armor hauling 5 tons of weight each in such broad commodities from food to ammo , weapon and from tools to heavy machinery all equipped for versoius roles. You have a caravan that can't be beat with conventional firearms without using a considerable amount of resources and man power, enough for raiders to see that it's too much of an effort. I can see 2 dictated support models can haul enough parts and supply to maintain such unit between a full squad to a platoon with theses power armor the only thing that potentially hold them back is that they can't mine to make steel and machine the steel for tools and then spare parts. That requires an infrastructure that's a stastic system But it's a system that a small number of man in these power can easily support and defend.

  7. Fallout 3 was my first Fallout game, so the T-45 is always going to be my favorite. Also, aesthetically, it definitely has an appeal to it, with its more complex shapes than the more continuous forms of the pieces T-51 (nothing against the T-51, mind you). It actually looks like a powered exoskeleton suit that one could build in real life, if the power supply issue could be figured out (obviously fusion reactors are still "just another 30 years away", fission reactors are nowhere near small, safe, or cost-effective enough to make unit-portable, and batteries don't last long enough and are too bulky).

  8. I like, never use power armour in Fallout 4.
    It's too noisy and clunky feeling lol. I see YouTubers all the time having power armour footage as their b-roll and it just makes me wonder if I'm missing out or if they just have really different ideas on how to play the game lol.

  9. The main thing I like about Bethesda is despite their rather buggy code, they never make the same mistake twice. Pretty much all the changes that prove to be to the detriment of the game are not repeated, whole the ones that prove to enhance the fun are carried forward. They make new mistakes with every game, but it shows they're willing to experiment, and the fact that they learn when their experiments go bad or good is what ensures the majority of their games are fun, even if they're flawed.

  10. My favorite armor overall. Can’t remember the last time I took off my Brotherhood T-45 armor in Fallout 3. Even went into Dead Wind Cavern in New Vegas to get the only suit of Brotherhood T-45 power armor not being worn in the whole game.

  11. We can make it with our current technology but too expensive on the mass level while powering it would be a problem. But I prefer the more slimmer build for practical reasons.

  12. Definitely one of the more iconic scifi power armors in video games.

    I've always found it odd though that such a significant American weapon system uses the "Type-[Model Number]" nomenclature for its naming, as opposed to the "M-[Model Number]" more commonly used. T-45 sounds Russian or Chinese more than anything. Could it be…COMMUNISM?!
