The armor of the Trooper is composed of a composite of metals, ceramics, and organics unique to Invid manufacture. Research continues into the composition of this material, though results from X-ray crystallography, NMR, and mass spectroscopy studies remain classified. The armor stops all small arms and heavy infantry weapons fire, provides good resistance to light mecha-mounted weaponry, such as the Zentraedi 22.3mm HE autocannon round, and poor resistance to medium mecha-mounted weaponry, such as the Valkyrie's 55mm APFSDS round. The armor on the forearms is substantially superior, and stops all small arms and heavy infantry weapons fire, provides good resistance to light mecha-mounted weaponry, and fair resistance to medium mecha-mounted weaponry.
Note: The IMTR-1VS sensor eye is highly susceptible to damage, as any hit there will disable the mecha by killing the pilot.
All Invid mecha provide full protection from nuclear, biological, and chemical hazards, using a sealed overpressure cockpit environment.The armor of the Hive Guard is composed of a composite of metals, ceramics, and organics unique to Invid manufacture. Research continues into the composition of this material, though results from X-ray crystallography, NMR, and mass spectroscopy studies remain classified. The armor stops all small arms fire, provides fair protection against heavier infantry weapons, such as a 12.7mm machinegun round, and poor resistance to light mecha-mounted weaponry, such as the Zentraedi 22.3mm HE autocannon round.
Optional : Heavy shield. A 1.2m diameter metal shield of a denser and more resistant variant of the Invid mecha armor material. It has some limited effectiveness against anti-personnel weapons and poor performance against armor piercing weapons.
All Invid mecha provide full protection from nuclear, biological, and chemical hazards, using a sealed overpressure cockpit environment.Mobile Invid hives are surrounded by a spherical shell of an unknown organic/ceramic material. The material can be made sufficiently translucent that the Flower of Life may be grown inside the hive in sufficient quantities to provide the hive with a significant fraction of its most basic needs, should it ever come under attack, or if the hive is located in an environment in which the Flower of Life can not otherwise grow. The material is also very resistant to energy attacks, even without the energy barrier that it can erect, though it is less resistant to projectile and missile fire. The outer shell of the hive has been known to range in size from as small as 300 meters to as large as 10 kilometers in diameter, although in this latter case (Earth Reflex Point) the outermost hull was an empty shell erected over the hive proper as an additional defensive measure. Indeed, this seems to have been a standard Invid tactic, as several hives at least on Earth had a separate or communal overhead cover, giving the impression of one very large but non-spherical hive. Despite the wide range of sizes, the internal arrangements of mobile hives are nearly identical.Full protection against chemical and biological warfare, radiation shielded. Armor will stop allgrenade/shell/mortar fragments, energy beams and bullets from most common hand-held weaponry.Limited capacity against the heavier weaponry used by Ride Armors, Legioss's and Tread's. Protection is much better than that of the Iigaa/Iigau, but the sensor eye is still highly susceptible to damage and allows enemies to quickly kill the pilot.
