Line 1: The '''Armored Motive System''' is a system of upgraded suspension components that feature additional armoring and other reinforcements to protect Combat Vehicles from damage. It serves the same purpose as [[BattleMech]] [[Armored Components]] but is dedicated to protecting the vehicle's propulsion system.
