Vortex suit
Plural: Vortex suites
Whether you're fighting an alien race of gigantic warriors, or slugging it out with half biological/half mechanical robot monsters created by an Evil Corporation, this suit will serve you well. Based on secret alien technologies, something called the "Mima formula", and created by a mysterious woman of vague origin, this hard suit will turn your average work-a-day schlub into a super-powered crime fighter. Thought that would get your attention.
In addition to the extensive weaponry (such as soda-can missiles), the suit can also morph, transform, or shift into the form of a battle-ready motorcycle.

Sometimes during combat, you'll get one of the following super weapon attacks:
A long pair of crackling whips slide out of your suit's wrists, slashing at your foe for W (electric) damage.
or
Twin daggers pop out from your suit by the back of your wrists, and you slash quickly for X + X damage.
or
A tiny little laser pops out from the shoulder of your Vortex suit and carves your initials into your foe. It's really more annoying than painful. Great.
or
The back of your Vortex suit opens up, flipping up a pair of rocket launchers which fire about a million soda-can-shaped missiles at your foe, dealing Y (fire) + Y (sonic) damage.
or
You strike a dramatic pose and shout out at the top of your lungs, "Gunnnnnnnnn BUSTER!" and claw at the front of your suit. A giant vortex of energy blasts out and hits your foe for Z (fire) damage.
