Description

Another piece of Metroid art that I did recently. I enjoyed working on this, even though I'm not that good at drawing humanoid creatures.

Anyway, heres the lore that I came up with for it:

The Heavy Aero Combat Suit was developed from the idea of having a versatile and highly mobile weapon system that could effectively deal with any threat. Early development was plagued with numerous issues, mainly the destruction of Zebes where the aerodynamic movement systems and armor blueprints were developed. This forced the space pirates to restart from scratch on the movement system, which slowed down development as well. The weapon systems were completed some time after the movement system redesign. This included two shoulder mounted missile launchers that fired missiles with a advanced tracking system capable of locking on to electronic, thermal, and specific biological matter. In addition, two different arm mounted weapons were designed, one a 5 round launcher capable of firing high explosive rockets aptly named the firewall(reverse engineered and improved from samus' super missiles), and a high energy plasma cannon capable of completely burning a foe to ashes. The new movement system later developed was a vast improvement over prior systems, included multiple stabilized variable geometry thrusters that allow for a significant degree of maneuverability and speed to the operator.

Also included to cut down on the use of heavy armor plating, a Low power energy shield was developed to keep maneuverability high and provide similar levels of protection to the user. Inital tests in small skirmishes against federation forces showed great promise, with single units able to destroy armored units and delay armor columns with ease. However, The cost of each combat suit is far higher than initially planned thus limiting use to elite units and commando's.

Pirate's note: Future development planned, potential cross over with other projects involving reverse engineering(check Wave, Plasma, Power, and Ice combat suit prototypes).
