Description[edit]
The P-5000 PowerLoader is a cargo handling industrial Exoskeleton which is produced by the Free Worlds League corporation Waytani, Inc. Waytani was created solely to produce and bring the exoskeleton to market. The company's initial successful holovid advertising campaign was a boon for the company contributing to its success in both the League and the Capellan Confederation.[3][4]
The design is noted for its speed and armor protection which is greater than its nearest competitor, GM's HeavyHauler.[3]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The PowerLoader is fitted with two Cargo Lifter manipulators, which when working together can lift up to 2 tons.[4] The suit has also been given a minimum of 50 kilograms of armor to protect its user and features a searchlight and a torch cutter.[3]
Notes[edit]
- The name of this exoskeleton is a nod to the "P-5000 Powered Work Loader" from Aliens. Its manufacturer's name "Waytani Inc", is based off of the "Weyland-Yutani Corporation" from the same film.
