Offical Lore:



Developed in early 2077 after the Anchorage Reclamation, the T-60 series of power armor was designed to eventually replace the T-51 as the pinnacle of powered armor technology in the U.S. military arsenal. The T-60 was deployed domestically among U.S. Army units just prior to the dropping of the bombs.

As of 2287, the Brotherhood of Steel East Coast Chapter has acquired a vast arsenal of T-60 power armor, as it has become their standard issue power armor, being commonly worn by both knights and paladins.



Custom Lore:



The T-60b is in reality a custom kit for the outdated T-45d when the T-51 was adopted, it have saw minor operation on Anchorage but have deployed in large numbers to the China Front where it was more cheaper than the T-51b, before the Great War the T-60 was less powerfull than T-51b but more than the T-45d e T-45e, used by the US Military in large scale and on hands of the Enclave before the adoption of the X-01 "Advanced Powered Combat Armor" and the X-02.



As 2287 the T-60 is used in certain ranks and with better plates and a better helmet to protect it user, it's loved among the Paladin's and Captain Knight's and it's produced on the Adams Air-Force Base.



Characteristics:



This variation of power armor is much larger and bulkier than previous models, closer to the appearance of classic Fallout power armor. The set looks similar to the T-45 power armor, but with a few minor differences. The shoulders of the T-60 are composite, double layered and shorter than its T-45d predecessor.

The T-45d shoulder plates are almost twice as long and are only a single piece of metal. The opening valve on the T-60 set is lower on the suit, larger and has a slot for a fusion core. The breastplate on the T-60 has two vertical handlebars, while the T-45d has a single horizontal handlebar.
