How dare you insult Kabr's armor!

Have you ever looked at medieval or feudal battle armor? Gundam designs borrow heavily from Feudal Japanese samurai armor. Armor designed to protect as well as instill fear in the enemy. Horns spikes, even spines and the like adorned many ancient armor types as a method of intimidation. Perhaps you should study up on this. Either way its fitting as most Titan attack rely on close encounters where hunters have slim fitting battle suits befitting agile warriors whose attack are mostly stealthy and ranged and Warlock have a more traditional looking robe or cloak. If you look closely at the game many of it's themes are. We see the Vex relying (or perhaps just how the Guardians have named them?) on European mythology with Goblins and harpies as well as Cyclops and hydras. The Cabal mirroring the Roman Empires military titles. More European themes for the hive and the Fallen. The primary locations also hint at this, Russia being the first place you encounter, the distinctly middle European countryside that the tower resides in as well as the cryptarch asking if you speak German from time to time. the Ishtar collective sounds slightly middle eastern or Indian (as well as the fact they are mystics and warlocks) while your first encounter with the moon is an old Chinese or Japanese (can't remember which) lunar base. We see constant nods as eastern and European cultures within the game. The intimidation factor is a huge part of armor from those periods. And it makes sense for titans as frontlinemen to be as intimidating as possible. At least imo

Heavy classes have a trend of trying to look like Gundam..

My Titan actually looks like an Urban SWAT cop including a nightstick to beat Hipsters with.

you want some cheese with that whine?

You mad bro? Cause Titans look the closest to Master Chief. If Master Chief had a class.....it would be a Titan.

Are you actually bitching about how a character looks? You're not even a Titan but you're bitching about how it looks like it affects you?

I was expecting this thread to be something about Titanfall. I was disappointed.

My buddy and I were on crucible yesterday and he said, "Dude there is a Transformer on our team." I said, "It's me." we laughed. I think my Titan looks sick. Will have that exotic helm when I get home from work

Titans to my look so much better than the warlocks. They have skirts and the hunters cape... Facepalm.

Would love to get my hands on that armor on the cover art, the one you say looks okay and usable, if only I could :(. I am also not a big fan of all the ridiculous spikes etc. which unfortunately seems to be high fashion in almost all end-game gear nowadays.

Well, Titans use their body as a weapon, so wouldn't it make sense to put things such as spikes and rigged plating into the armor?

I'm pretty sure I saw a titan with that eye armor today, he looked awesome
