It might be specific to a unit or a branch of service. So it could be in limited numbers.

I'm wondering if they're going to have any Tesla power armor. Barring all of the Enclave's stupid helmets in 3, the Tesla Power Armor was my favorite. If they could Tesla up the X-01 in a way that doesn't look really stupid like Arcade Gannon's, I would be all over that.

I liked the enclave armor in NV. The shoulder armor mostly. Looks like one of those American footballers.

I did wear the T51b a lot in Fallout 3. Never been a fan of the T45d, though the T60 is an improvement, I've never really liked the helmet.

Could be. Like others have said, we'll find out soon enough.

I could be wrong, but doesn't the new PA system allow for mixing and matching? Like different (from different PA variants) arms, legs, chest plate and helm?

I never used PA in previous games. This time however is different. I cant wait to see what all the upgrades do to it. I hope to make one that's light and quick... I wonder if you can fight hand 2 hand with it? Totally want to duck and weave with a deathclaw.

Also you guys know theres going to be some pretty epic Iron Man mods coming out for this new system.

Looks like it, yes. Rumoured to be paintable too.

Big bad: "What armor you rocken"?

Me: "T-60LX-01AAPAC/H with a Tesla back pack"

Big bad: "Cool, wanna get married cause all I got is this beat up leather jacket and a, now soiled, pair of sweat pants."

Me: "Cool beans"

Advanced power armor now and forever. Burn all the muties!

But I concur with the entirety of your OP, and love seeing the ever intimidating power armor come to life with the visuals of Fallout 4.

I was thinking this as well not too long ago. Doesn't make much sense to me that they create a better power armor than T-51b that is build upon the T-45d design. I mean, it definitely looks better than the T-45d but I think they could have done more for a new set of power armor than just stick to an old design for the sake of familiarity.

What I think about the T-60 is that it was under production in Boston to serve as the successor to T-51b, so there were quite a few suits made. Then the bombs fell before any produced models could be shipped this could explain why the T-60 models aren't seen outside of Boston and why they were never seen or mentioned in pre-war history.

As a side note: was it ever explainex why Lyons BoS only used T-45d instead of the superior and equally numerous T-51b? It's strange that there was only one set of the stuff in the CW as well.

They found a ton of old T45d armor in the Pentagon supposedly.

What they were wearing when they came across, [censored] knows.

They said that T-45d was in abundance in the Pentagon for some reason in Fallout 3 pre-release stuff. Though that of-course doesn't explain where the T-51b that they brought with them went.

I do not really follow lore or really care about it.

Possibly the T-45 was the power armor issued to the units that formed the BoS.

I liked the Medic Power Armor a variant of the T45d
Always got a kick out of his sayings - gear up soldier and let them eat lead

Recovered from the Museum of Technology, wearer got sent to Fort Constantine for reasons, switched to the Medic PA that was stashed there, then was to return to the Citadel after scouting out/travelling through Old Olney. Where we find his dead body.

I don't think the lore supports that Lyons took ANY T-51b's with them when they migrated. And if they did have the one, just ignore the thing about it being found in the Museum of Tech.

It will be interesting to see if tesla is a variant of it, given that the T-series have all the variants Athrough to F.
The one thing I want to find out more about is the PA, many hours will be spent finding parts to make PW. Less than three days to go
But T-51 will probably be my favourite once again, but that may change

Maybe T-60 is just some refit of T-45 suits to bring them up to more T-51b levels?

My all time favorite is the Midwest BoS Power Armor. I do not know the exact model it's called (or even if there is a name for it). If it's not present in Fallout 4, mods will serve me quite well.

I barely used any power armors in previous Fallout games. They just didn't fit the way they ment to be, I think. They were nothing but a piece of clothing.

So I didn't paid much attention to them (except Fallout 3s Medical Prototype Power Armor wich was quite amusing).

Now having them the way I see and think about them -> A walking tank like vehicle.

Also my personal favourite from what we've seen so far: T-60!

A bulky and heavy moving type of armor. It's a beautiful piece of junk .

Also I dislike the X-01 helmet, but that's just my opinion.

^This. Even Van Buren would have had Athena Power Armor, which would have been the best armor prewar.

I think the T60 was an advanced prototype developed at MIT and Vault 111 was filled with intellectuals and a mix of soldiers and others. The guards simply had access to high-tier tech.

I love the look of all the different types of power armor, but if I had to choose I would pick the T-45d. Only because of nostalgia.

I hope they at least have the hellfire armor somewhere.

Then what did they have? No power armour at-all? Because I remember the staches of T-45d being made a big deal of in the pre-release stuff and it wouldn't have been if they had brought their own.

Ashur, who was a member of the Brotherhood before they abandoned him had an old suit of T-45d power armor, and New Vegas showed that the original Brotherhood does indeed have some T-45ds lying around. Presumably Lyons' chapter was equipped with that model when they arrived in D.C., and they simply found more.
