Tesla Trooper



"Well, looky here. The Tesla Trooper. If they begin a shocking attack on me, I would punch them in the face first before they would do."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Coming Apocalypse

Tesla troopers are Russian heavy soldiers used primarily as anti-armor and anti-infantry shock troopers during the Third World War.

Background
"Commencing shock therapy."

Advancements in technology made by Russia as part of their covert rebuilding program allowed the Tesla coil to be miniaturized into a perfect man-portable form. While early attempts at such a weapon were made and fielded by Russia before, it was not until the invention of a Tesla-powered battle suit that its full potential could be reached. The end result is a sealed, insulated combat uniform with a Tesla coil gauntlet, powered by a miniature back-mounted Tesla generator. Typically worn with an insulated jumpsuit underneath and red overalls on top, it is used by specialists in tank warfare, owing to it being uncrushable by tanks. In a pinch, they can also power up Tesla coils.
