A quick reference for the powered armor featured in that manga-style test panel I uploaded a few days back: [link]

There was a bit of confusion as to the shape of the helmet. Hopefully this clears it up.

The "Golem" hardsuit is the smallest powered armor deployed by Karic's military. It's typically worn by fire-support specialists attached to infantry squads. The most common armament is a heavy machine gun, with an under-slung grenade launcher or shotgun mount. It only adds a few inches to the operator's height, but drastically boosts his strength and damage-soaking capabilities.

Indeed. Talros' work has been pretty inspirational for me, and you're right on about the helmet: "Full Head Protection" is the inspiration behind pretty much all of the helmets for my Karic designs.

It's odd but I'm reminded of appleseed's landmates. The helmet looks much better.

Well, good eye. Appleseed has hugely influenced the way I design smaller battlesuits like this (the larger counterpart to this suit, which I'm currently calling the "Yeti" even uses the same sub-arm / main-arm layout as Shirow Masamune's Landmate designs).

Masamune is great inspiration source. Can't wait to see the "yeti" class battlesuit.

Ah! Now I see it perfectly. I was confused by the shading you put on the shoulder behind the head in the previous comic panel.

Of course, seeing it out of context like that was half the problem. In a real comic, you'd have had the standard establishing shot of the armor at some point, then it would have made more sense to me. Love the design!
