Mobile Armor



Mobile Armor: Mobile armor refers to a war machine that has little to no resemblance to the human body, is normally bigger than a mobile suit and boasts output power, mobility and firepower. The mobile armor concept was conceived purely for warfare, unlike the humble ideas that gave birth to the mobile pod and the mobile suit. The first mobile armor was introduced by Neo Edo as an experimental assault, anti-ship unit. Its piloting method was a mix of brain-machine interface and traditional input. Neo Edo believed in the concept of the Mushin, an state of the mind in which awareness of the subject has even reached the close future. Neo Edo scientists hoped to create a piloting interface which could read the waves of the brain when in Mushin state, to achieve exceptional responsiveness and performance on the battlefield. This interface system was too big to install it in a mobile suit, so it was one of the technologies that could only be tested in a mobile armor. Mushin state of the mind was very rare though and the tests resulted negative. It seems that the Mushin phenomenon was more rare than they thought.
