 genghiskombat | Well the way I see it, the new suit Samus got in ZM is an entirely new model of Power Suit from what she used to have, which explains why it was hidden so discreetly in the temples of Chozodia. How she replaces her old one with the new one is a mountainous can of worms we could argue about all day, but as far as the new suit being a, you know, new suit...I will die on that hill. | 22:51:30 |
| genghiskombat | It's not a patch, an update, or an extra layer. It's a whole damn new operating system. | 22:52:02 |
| genghiskombat | It can resemble what came before, like going from Windows 98 up to Windows XP, but it's new, improved, bigger, longer, and uncut. | 22:52:34 |
| genghiskombat | And its own separate entity. | 22:52:42 |
| karmacolorcat | I do disagree to that | 22:52:52 |
| genghiskombat | Too bad. | 22:52:56 |
| genghiskombat | When I said "I will die on this hill," I meant that I will die on it. | 22:53:28 |
| karmacolorcat | I dont think it's too far fetched to think the chozo statue in chozodia simply reactivated her suit and updated it on top of it | 22:53:29 |

| Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | Agree with Karma, makes mores sense for it to be a direct upgrade to the original Power Suit Samus had. | 22:53:45 |
| Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | If it was a completely new suit I’m pretty sure that would have been clarified. | 22:54:01 |
| genghiskombat | You can get the entire damn server to disagree with me on this. I don't care. | 22:54:06 |
| Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | O k | 22:54:18 |
| karmacolorcat | For that matter, I dont think Samus ever had a different suit | 22:54:38 |
| karmacolorcat | all variations of her suit (counting base power, upgraded power, fusion's and dread's) are from the same suit | 22:55:16 |
| karmacolorcat | manual breathing... | 22:55:52 |
| genghiskombat | ...What does that even mean? | 22:56:20 |
| karmacolorcat | have you ever breathed manually? | 22:56:36 |
| genghiskombat | We all have. What about it? | 22:56:42 |
| karmacolorcat | no no no | 22:56:48 |
| karmacolorcat | manually | 22:56:54 |
 monody | Fine. So I wanted some way to explain why the suit design changes from Prime 1 to Prime 2, and its onboard OS changes too, to something more alien and less human-intuitive in design.
So my explanation is after she used the Omega Cannon in Hunters, the suit's ethical protocols shut it down and refused to operate anymore because it had been used to fire a weapon with such an unethical operating principle. (This is also why it keeps losing the Omega Cannon during the fight. It's rejecting it.)
So with her original custom-modified-for-her suit out of action and Chozodia destroyed, she gets a new one from somewhere on Tallon IV, hidden away by the elders for emergencies.
This is the suit she uses in Primes 2 and 3, but all the corruption and Federation tinkering left it with issues after that, so she digs out her original suit and jailbreaks it to use in the rest of the series after that. | 22:56:59 |
| karmacolorcat | not automatically | 22:56:59 |
| monody | Of course the problem with this theory is that Hunters uses the Prime 2/3 design, but… no theory is perfect. :) | 22:57:48 |
| karmacolorcat | relatable
-cue the Space Pirates headanon- | 22:58:14 |
| Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | Doesn’t Hunters also take place between Prime 1 and Prime 2? | 22:58:15 |
| Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | Don’t see how she would have gotten a different suit from Tallon IV to fix that unless she went back there off-screen. | 22:58:41 |
