Powered exoskeleton

Would the Mantis really be classified as a powered exoskeleton, given how it isn't actually "worn" by the occupant like a suit of armor but is, for all intents and purposes, a vehicle on legs? We haven't seen the cockpit or input method but it seems like it controls more like a traditional vehicle than, say, MJOLNIR armor which envelopes the wearer and enhances their movements. The shape of the Mantis wouldn't allow for the natural range of movement of the human body anyway. As far as ordinary conversation goes, I think it would be called a "mech", but I'm somewhat averse toward the use of that term. Maybe something more descriptive, like "bipedal fighting vehicle"? --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 12:41, 3 October 2012 (EDT)

Armoured fighting vehicle seems more appropriate since it can cover mechanised walkers.— subtank 12:51, 3 October 2012 (EDT)
We could just call it what it is- a Mecha.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 13:23, 3 October 2012 (EDT)

Page name.

The page name should be "HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX ADS" Not just "Mark IX ADS" as that lacks context, also the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I page has the full name.ArchedThunder 23:08, 29 October 2012 (EDT)

Dear God no! Grizzlei
The Mark I includes that name and just saying "Mark IX" lacks context, the Mark IX what?ArchedThunder 23:28, 29 October 2012 (EDT)
Could just ignore shortening the designation and just use its full title for the article name and in the introduction. The rest of the article should make use of the short designation. — subtank 23:38, 29 October 2012 (EDT)
