Power armor acts in a way like a prostetic because it has "motors" that anticipate and enchance the wearer's movements and this is great because SM have black carapaces that interact with the armor directly, the problems that SM armor have is not that it is cumbersome or whatever but it very unrealistic no matter how you put it ,cooling sistems, recycling stations inside the armor mecanical muscles and a few other features, where do you fit all that and still retain armorplates thick enough to stop enemy fire + how the f... is it powered if they can fit a tiny nuclear powerplant in there (as the wiki states) then you could simply take some lighter armor and give every sm iron halos and be done with it but hey this is fantasy so yeah sm armor is the best armor there is
