Oh thanks dude, compact was definitelly one of the things I was going for.

That's a good question. I am so into power suits and armor that I take those
things as given. Basically there are sensory "eyes" all over the suit.
They create a virtual screen inside of almost 360 degrees. These sensors
have to be protected that is why they are not "seen".
One of the reasons I like this suit is because of that protection.
A suit with a "head" where sensors are placed becomes a good target
and considered a weakness, even with redundant systems. Enemy
snipers will have a hard time cracking this egg :P since there is no
specific sensor point to shoot at. But really, all that jazz is really to
paint a military, scifi picture. It is really in the imagination of the
beholder.
I really enjoy these questions, keep them coming and take care Jason.
