T-51c power armor

The T-51c Powered Infantry and Patrol Armor is a model of power armor developed by West Tek before the Great War and used by the United States Armed Forces. 
==Background==
A direct descendant of the T-51b power armor model, the T-51c was designed to be used in harsh environments and offers users considerable mobility. Despite being developed for use in the war-torn environments of China, it was considered inferior to the T-51b in combat and would see little use outside of American territories. The armor would find use fighting local resistance in occupation zones and were notably used by the U.S. Second Army of Occupation in Canada.
As American occupation forces began to find increasingly stiff resistance in Canada, a variety of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons were deployed against Canadian resistance fighters. Many T-51c suits were issued to American forces fighting in Canada to combat these increasingly noxious conditions.
In the years following the Great War, T-51c power armor has become a rare sight. They are uncommon to be found outside of groups with connections to the pre-War United States Armed Forces, although a few have been found by wastelanders in abandoned US military facilities and supply caches in post-nuclear Canada.
==Design==
The durable construction of the T-51c offers great protection against environmental conditions, chemical weapons, defoliants, or radiation. Advanced seals allow users to operate in anything from muddy swamps to war-torn trenches, and even underwater for as long as its air tank allows. It is comparatively lighter than the T-51b, allowing for greater maneuverability in combat.
Helmets on the T-51c came equipped with a powerful headlamp and additional optics similar to those on the T-45d and T-51b.

*This power armor is based on content from Interplay's cancelled Project V13 online fallout game. Concept art for the power armor was created by artist Caleb Cleveland for this project.
