The T-50 Commando is Triax's attempt to create an inexpensive but capable infantry power armor. In order to cut the expense of the unit, the Commando lacks many of the more advanced features of its siblings like flight capability, force fields, etc. While being tough enough to stand up to opposition, it is also cheap enough that whole squads can be equiped with the suits, forming a powerful unit.

Notes
1. The head and maneuvering jets are small and difficult targets to hit. Thus, they can only be hit when a character makes a called shot and even then the attacker is -4 to hit.
2. Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will shut the armor down completely, rendering it useless.
