The Powered Assault Armor Suit is a type of mechanized suit of armor / powered exoskeleton utilized by the Motorknights of the Dynastian Red Army. It is also called "PAAS" and "Motor Armor" (derived from German "Motorüstung", a combination of "Motor" and "Rüstung", meaning "motor" and "armor"). The Dynastian exoskeleton is rather slow and bulky and almost useless for assaults. However, these devices make excellent equipment for guards, urban warfare or heavy infantry. The suit includes three AKs: one in each wrist, and one in the nose. The legs of the suit, powerful enough to support the weight of the suit at normal walking speed, can be used for running, jumping and kicking at high speeds and power if worn without the heavy armor plates on the torso. There is also a variant known as Ganymed, which is used by Dynastian commander Castro Jr.. More to come.
