mech suits

Wearable robotic vehicles

Mech suits are wearable robotic exoskeletons, typically large enough to enclose the operator's body.

The term comes from science fiction—giant humanoid machines piloted from within, used for combat or heavy labor.

Real-world versions exist as powered exoskeletons for industrial work or mobility assistance, though nothing yet matches the armored battle suits of anime and video games: The game lets you customize your mech suit with different weapons.
