Experimental Scout, Mk. 0.156-TB
This is a suit clearly designed for combat. Yet its hull is sleek and clean, virtually fresh off the production line. From the movement of the suit, its pilot is definitely experienced. Yet the occasional twitches show a machine still in its testing phase.
No one knows how its pilot managed to sneak this experimental machine out of what is probably a top-secret military station. Perhaps a test pilot went rogue. Perhaps a billionaire playboy bought it off as a trophy. Nobody knows.
