Vortex suit
Plural: Vortex suites
Whether you're fighting an armada of gargantuan humans or blowing aliens out of an airlock, this exosuit just might be your best friend. The look on your opponent's face when you throw them across the room is sure to be priceless. The strength, protection, and speed that it provides will allow you to survive in any enemy culture. Or proto-culture, even.

Sometimes during combat:
A long pair of crackling whips slide out of your suit's wrists, slashing at your foe for W (electric) damage.
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 X (fire) + X (sonic) damage.
or
Twin daggers pop out from your suit by the back of your wrists, and you slash quickly for Y + Y 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
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.
