Power armor of your very own

    Hey everypony/body! So, earlier today I was toying around with drawing power armor on one of my OC's, but then I thought up a little question. If you were going to brave the Wastes and you had a set of power armor, what would it look and be like? I want you to answer theeeese wonderful questions, and add in any other details you feel like! And if you are artistically inclined, feel free to leave a little sketch! (I would myself, but it would probably end up looking like a kumquat.)

    • What model of power armor would it be? (Body and helmet can be different models)
    • What would it's primary color be? Secondary?
    • Would it have any utilities implemented? (Jet pack, night vision etc.)
    • Accessories? (Flags, symbols, dead animals etc.) 
    • Anything else!

    Myself I would like a set of T-45d body, trimmed down to increase mobility, with an advanced power armor helmet, the helmet modified to be faceplateless, I would hate it if I were constantly in a stuffy helmet! My primary color would be, of course, light pink! I would have the trim be a lovely shade of hot pink, though I would make the undersuit (Skin? Jumpsuit? Fabric under the armor?) light blue. I would add some practical things to my armor, such as something to help run faster, enhance strength, maybe stealth filed if possible, and obviously, confetti launchers! The essentials! For accessories I would paint three ballons on each shoulderplate and maybe a small pink cape, and a for helping my vision, a small pink eyepiece! 

    (Kind of like this just, not really at all)

     Well, I wouldn't change the design of my armor choice that much: The T-51b power armor with everything it already provides, the regular gray color, night vision, I wouldn't have any symbols... perhaps some crossed bones?


     Honestly, I  hate heavy gear, it takes away too much mobility, so I probably wouldn't pick a power armor to begin with.

    I can agree with the mobility thing! Realistically I would probably avoid power armor myself too, it makes skipping very hard! But I still might take it because, wellllll, it's motherbucking power armor. I see what your saying about the T-51b already being good, it is pretty nice and the grey color scheme really makes the...um...grey pop out. Crossed bones are also nice!

     Aye, I'm not that creative when it comes to armors. As long as it keeps me alive, it's good enough for me.

    Looks cool Shy, and it kinda looks like modified Enclave Tesla Armor! I've always loved how gas masks look with armor, so neat! I even have a Soviet surplus in my closet somewhere!

    I wouldn't make it as bulky, more agile. I'd paint it black with gold highlights. I'd have a cross in the center,mand on either of the pauldrons, the Cutie Marks of Celestia and Luna.

    Huh, sounds awesome Chris! Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure there is a Celestia and Luna power armor mod for NV somewhere out there. Or maybe I'm just crazy. Probably both.
