When the Word conquered [[Terra]] in [[3058]], they found the research that ComStar scientists had started only months before. For their part, ComStar believed the data had been destroyed, so they were as shocked as everybody else when a prototype turned up in August [[3061]]. The Purifier Adaptive is revolutionary in that it uses mimetic, color-shifting armor. It has dozens of tiny cameras that feed data concerning the environment back to a computer that shifts the colors of the suit to camouflage, much like a chameleon does naturally. This effect is much better the less the armor moves, as the computer does not have to struggle to keep up with the background. The [[Mimetic Armor]] makes the Purifier Adaptive much more difficult to target, especially when it is motionless. The drawback comes in the amount of armor it carries; only enough to stop a blast from a [[Medium Pulse Laser]]. It does, however, mount enough [[jump jet]]s to leap ninety meters at a time. The [[Republic of the Sphere]] captured many Purifier suits and put them into service. The Republic Armed Forces organized their troops into four man squads. Aside from this organizational change, the Purifier operated in exactly the same manner as the Word of Blake version.<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', pp. 15–18</ref> + The '''Purifier Adaptive''' [[battle armor]] is produced by [[Word of Blake]], though the original data was stolen from [[ComStar]].

It mounts a modular weapon port that can accept an [[Extended Range Small Laser (Battle Armor)|ER Small Laser]], [[Compact Narc Launcher]], [[Light Target Acquisition Gear (battle armor)|Light TAG]], or a [[Support Particle Projector Cannon|Support PPC]]. The ER Small is the only vehicle-scale weapon. The TAG allows the squad to act as spotters for [[artillery]] and [[Semi-Guided LRM|semi-guided]] missile fire. The Narc launcher only has one reload, and it is so bulky that a Purifier Adaptive trooper cannot make anti-'Mech attacks or jump until it runs out of ammunition and the launcher is jettisoned. The newest addition is the [[infantry]]-scale PPC, which, though an infantry weapon, allows the Purifier Adaptive to stand off and snipe at opponents, making good use of its mimetic armor. − − ==Variants== − *;Purifier Terra : Based on the standard Purifier suit, the primary difference is the removal of the mimetic armor and its replacement with Clan standard armor identical to that used on the [[Elemental]] suit. The Purifier Terra uses a [[Modular Weapon Mount]] to provide a variety of weapons options. The Coalition encountered variants equipped with Clan level [[Extended Range Small Laser (Battle Armor)|ER Small Laser]], [[Small Pulse Laser (Battle Armor)|Small Pulse Laser]], and [[Anti-Personnel Gauss Rifle (Battle Armor)|AP Gauss Rifle]].
