This article is about the suits worn by humans in the Generation 1 cartoon. For the Action Master UK vehicles, see Action Master Exo-suit{{#switch:{{#sub:Action Master Exo-suit|-1}} != .= ?= .

Exosuits are technology from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

An exosuit is form of powered armor used by humans and other humanoids. They are typically used to protect the wearer from hostile environments such as the vacuum of space, deep underwater, or the middle of a battle between warring factions of giant robots. Many models possess arm blasters, thrusters and the ability to transform into a vehicle mode, giving the user a leg up when dealing with Decepticons.

Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon continuity

The Transformers cartoon

Daniel's first driving lesson.

Spike Witwicky wore an exosuit while on Moonbase Two with Bumblebee. Later, Arcee gave Daniel Witwicky one of his father's exosuits that was stored aboard the forward section of the shuttle they escaped Autobot City in. This model was able to transform into an all-terrain vehicle. Daniel used this suit to escape Shrapnel and Scavenger on planet Junkion, and later was able to save his father along with Bumblebee, Jazz, and Cliffjumper from Unicron. The Transformers: The Movie

A similar suit was worn by Jessica Morgan when she accompanied Optimus Prime and the Autobots to planet Chaar to retrieve an experimental metal alloy from Galvatron. Despite the suits being equipped to allow humans to survive in space, it was not able to keep Jessica from being infected with the Hate Plague The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2

Later on the planet Nebulos, both the Decepticons and Autobots converted their heads and weapons into new types of exosuits for the Nebulan Hivemembers, and resistance fighters respectively, binary bonding to the Transformers to become Headmasters and Targetmasters. Although all the Nebulan suits were considered exosuits, only Daniel's, which bonded with Arcee, resembled the classical model seen earlier. The Rebirth, Part 1 The Rebirth, Part 2 The Rebirth, Part 3

When preparing to sabotage Metamorphose, the Decepticon meteorite-turned-weapon, Daniel was forced to wear an older, non-metallic, model of spacesuit for the mission. He asked for an exosuit, but was told that it would be destroyed by Metamorphose's metal-warping field. Approach of the Demon Meteorite

The exosuits were used by Daniel and Spike when they walked on Mars for a survey mission. The Autobot symbol on Daniel's exosuit was used to alert his father of his location in a Decepticon cell. Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger

Daniel again donned an exosuit when he accompanied Highbrow to a derelict ship in space. His exosuit sported a holster for his Challenge Blaster, which he made good use of during the mission. Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship

When Chromedome headed off to fight Sixshot, Daniel put on his exosuit so he could try to make them both stop, as he'd befriended the Decepticon. Using the suit's vehicle mode, he followed Chromedome to the asteroid Juno and interceded in the fight, only for the whole thing to be called off anyway when Scorponok decided to blow up the asteroid. Duel on the Asteroid

He wore his exosuit once again when the Autobots took him to the Arctic and he took part in the battle to save Earth from the Decepticons' Death Towers. The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)

Last Stand of the Wreckers #2 It didn't stop her ride in Pyro's chest cavity from being distinctly uncomfortable though. Last Stand of the Wreckers #3 Also the arms contained telescoping cannons.

Toys
