As a kid one of the shows that got me most interested in this field was the Exo-Troopers, an early 90's cartoon centering around humans who used exosuits to fight blue and purple skinned alien clones in their own organic exo armors. Oh, and Robotech (transforming giant robot/jets). Like Mobile Suit Gundem they're several stories tall, however, later in the series came my favorites. Cyclones transformed from motorcycles into exosuits (built on a frame of armor the pilot was already wearing). The Samson Construction model was the strongest, but the slowest and intended for civil/combat construction rather than fighting/survival. Cyclones played a vital role in the Robotech series long before all of the larger mechs where outfitted with one for emergencies (ie, pilot ejects in hostile territory).
