Description
"There are three main types of M. I. armor: marauder, command, andscout. Scout suits are very fast and very long-range, but lightly armed.
Command suits are heavy on go juice and jump juice, are fast and can jump
high; they have three times as much comm & radar gear as other suits, and a
dead-reckoning tracker, inertial. Marauders are for those guys in ranks with
the sleepy look -- the executioners."
A take on the power armor from one of my favorite novels. A big, steel, bug-killing gorilla.

I like how you have pushed the forms on this into the grotesque (thunder thighs!)
It seems like the kind of thing that would happen when speed, strength, and firepower are the primary concerns.

Thanks! I always thought most depictions were awfully slim considering it's a one man army that can maul a whole tank battalion. Plus it was exactly described as looking like a big steel gorilla in the book. The tradeoff there is that the arms would have to be inside the torso and not in sleeves, but I'm willing to play with the description if the final concept looks sweet.
