The B-Type (Barrier Type) is a power suit specialized for defense. It uses super electromagnetic shield armor for each part of its armor, and its frame is made of super high-density polymerized metal, giving it a thoroughly attack-resistant and defensive structure. It is equipped with a total of five sizeable Freezon generators, including one to supply electromagnetic shielding, making the B-Type the heaviest in the series, and is capable of supplying a stable supply of high-output power, allowing it to connect and use a large number of optional weapons simultaneously. As an optional addition, a crawler unit has been developed to enable the B-ype to move at high speed, circumventing its inherent slowness.
What is a Powered Suit?
The Powered Suit is a combat-strengthened armor that expands and amplifies the combat power of Diaclone soldiers. It can operate in any environment, and although it is small, one unit has the combat power of over 10 Diaclone soldiers. Starting with the first model, many variation models have been manufactured, and the latest model designed by bringing together Gigazone technology with the activation of the Neo Attack System is the series. The maximum output and mobility are significantly improved compared to previous models, and it is a next-generation powered suit that has the ultimate in rideability, portability, and expandability due to the installation of variable functions. The series has models with different functions such as A-Type (Attack Type) attack specialized type, B-Type (Barrier Type) defense specialized type, C-Type (Construction Type) work specialized type, and D-Type (Drill Type) training/general purpose type.
The initial powered suits developed for the anti-Waruda mobile infantry units were mainly used to support larger machines, but their excellent versatility and mobility were gradually recognized, and they were developed and organized into independent Diaclone Powered Suit Units that could be used in various situations such as urban warfare, jungle warfare, base capture, and sabotage operations. In Operation Ragnarok, which concluded the first defense battle against Waruda, they demonstrated the flexible mobility unique to powered suit units and led the operation to victory. Each unit is operated in a formation of 3 to 5 units, and is currently permanently deployed at bases on land, sea, air, and space.
Raid Chambers
The raid chamber is a storage unit for storing and transporting the powered suit. The outer shell is covered with explosion-proof and impact-resistant walls, and the interior can store a full set of expansion weapons for the powered suit. Raid chambers are available in airborne and land transport specifications, which are selected depending on the operation. Thrusters are equipped under the left and right couplers for airborne use, which are activated when landing or in an emergency. Barrier and connection option: Chambers can be connected together with a shield unit to create a simple defensive colony.
Powered System
The Powered System is an enhancement plan that aims to dramatically improve the combat power and mobility of powered suits. In addition to the conventional power expansion function by fusing with a combat machine, it can be connected to a new bullet module connector and, although limited, can also be linked to the Mech Mode of other models in the Dia-Battles series, etc. The greatest feature of this model is its “variable functions,” which can be adjusted according to the purpose of use.
Hangar/Boarding/storage mode
By transforming the PS unit into a minimal volume, storage and transportability are improved, while at the same time making it easier for personnel to board.
Combined mode
This is the mode applied when merging with a larger combat machine. By fixing both arms to the body frame, the powered suit can be modularized, and the connected mecha can be freely controlled in the same way as the powered suit.
Mobile mode
This mode is mainly used during combat. When a member of the team boards the ship, the General-Purpose BIG-AI is activated as a combat operating system, linking with the member’s brainwave patterns to perform combat maneuvers as one with the machine. The maneuvers produce a completely different experience than piloting a combat machine, so the pilot must undergo advanced training.
Mech mode
A manual control mode used for long distance travel during non-combat situations. It was designed to relieve the crew from the stress of confined environments in mobile mode. Also, when the hatch is closed, it becomes a remote-controlled drone that can be used to transport wounded crew members or provide support in combat.d during combat. The is activated as a combat operating system when a member boards, and it links with the member’s brain wave patterns to perform man-machine integrated combat maneuvers. The pilot must undergo advanced training in order to operate the machine in a way that is completely different from the way a combat machine is operated.
