I want Dogmeat to at some point be equipped with a suit of canine power armor... Or at least a type of lightweight bulletproof kevlar armor. I also think Dogmeat should be able to learn new special attacks as he levels up.

It would be no different than upgrading a robot or giving new weapons and armor to a humanoid companion.

What say you?

You mean like the dogs in Dawnguard from TES:Skyrim?

Just cyberdogize him

And that there is a robot that at best has only a dog brain left of its former organic dogginess.

Heh, what I was mainly getting at was that they've done it in a previous game so "we have the technology!". Just convert the armour to a more power armour type and away you go with a tanked up Dogmeat.

Probably can make him like Rex,a cyber dog Police Enforcement or Military.

Yes I just was using it to show the sleek armor plating. I want dogmeats body and shape ect covered in strong metal or kevlar armor. I also want him to have a special leap ability in vats that I can use to help catch enemies running away!
