ower armor might be thought of as a sort of super-suit of body armor that protects its wearer completely, but is also an exoskeleton that enhances the abilities of the wearer and offers a array of weapons. It is a form of mechanical augmentation that does not require the user to submit to any physical alteration. The armor is basically a robot suit. The human pilot steps into it and activated the armor to become a self contained environmental combat system.

 Traditionally, powerarmor was an augmented, environmental combat suit that was worn like nights of old. However, with improvements in robotics and nano-technology, the line between power armor and manneed robot has becomed blurred. So-called suits of power armor are frequently small, one-man robots which the "wearer" is a pilot who sits inside the armor.

 To make things perfectly easy, Armors/Powers armors are such suits that are under 25 feet in height. Every bot over, is listed under the robots section. The MPA and Raptor being a good example of a Power Armors, but the Serpent and Panzor armor is an example of where the line between the armor and robot become blurry.
