You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Armored Warriors''''', known in Japan as ((nihongo|'''''Powered Gear - Strategic Variant Armor Equipment'''''|パワード　ギア：　ストラテジック　ヴァリアント　アーマー　イクイプメント|Pawādo Gia: Sutoratejikku Vuarianto Amā Ikuipumento)), is a [[1994 in video gaming|1994]] [[mecha]]-themed [[beat-em-up]] game released by [[Capcom]] as a [[arcade game|coin-operated video game]] for their [[CP System II]] hardware. The "Variant Armors" mecha featured in the game were later used for the head-to-head fighting game ''[[Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness]]''. After being included with the Retro-Bit Super Retro-Cade [[dedicated console]],<ref name="NLife">((cite web|url=http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/12/hardware_review_retro-bit_super_retro-cade_a_treasure_trove_of_vintage_gaming_goodness|title=Hardware Review: Retro-Bit Super Retro-Cade: A Treasure Trove Of Vintage Gaming Goodness|last=McFerran|first=Damien|publisher=Nintendo Life|date=December 7, 2017|accessdate=September 21, 2018))</ref> the game would later be released digitally as part of the ''[[Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle]]'' on September 18, 2018, for the [[Nintendo Switch]], [[PlayStation 4]], [[Xbox One]], and [[Windows]].<ref>[http://www.capcom-unity.com/strumslinger/blog/2018/09/13/capcom-beat-em-up-bundle-arrives-on-september-18-featuring-seven-classic-games-in-one Capcom Unity: ''Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle'' Arrives on September 18 Featuring Seven Classic Games in One!]</ref> and ''[[Capcom Arcade Stadium]]'' on February 17, 2021, for the [[Nintendo Switch]], an later that year on [[PlayStation 4]], [[Xbox One]] and [[Steam (service)|Steam]].

== Gameplay ==
[[Image:Armored Warriors.png|thumb|left|Gameplay screenshot (1 player)]]

''Armored Warriors'' most prominent feature is its multi-player option, and the ability to augment the players' [[mecha|mechs]] with a large array of different parts for varied attacks.<ref name="C+V44">((cite magazine|last=Miccoli|first=Maurizio|url=https://archive.org/stream/computer-videogiochi-44#page/n129/mode/2up|title=Killed Games (Insert Coin): Armored Warriors (Capcom 1994)|magazine=[[:it:Computer+Videogiochi|Computer+Videogiochi]]|issue=44|publisher=[[:it:Gruppo Editoriale Jackson|Gruppo Editoriale Jackson]]|date=January 1995|pages=130–131|lang=it))</ref> Multiple regions of the mech could be switched, including the arms, legs and handheld weaponry. Such parts were gained (or lost) by inflicting damage upon enemies, which would cause various parts to disembark and be wielded by the player. Additionally, by using commands, the players could use an option called a "Team-up Change" which initiated a powerful attack used in tandem, and could also further vary the customization of weapons by using a main and sub-weapon.

Gameplay follows a mission-like structure, with seven in total. Each stage consists of the game giving the player prerequisites such as a time-limit to eliminate enemies, a set amount of [[ammunition]] for weapons, and destroying a varying number of enemies. Each stage ended with a [[Boss (video gaming)|boss]] character, and the game provided a competent replay value with the customization options. ((clear left))

== Plot ==
In the year 2281, the United Earth Government and the Principalities of Raia signed a ceasefire treaty, ending a war that lasted for half a century. One year after the signing of the treaty, the United Earth Government's 18th scouting party reported that the Raian capital, Melkide, has been captured by an army of unknown origin. The United Earth Government decided to dispatch an army to Raia to retake the capital and rescue its citizens. However, unbeknownst to the general public, the true purpose of this operation was to eliminate the unknown enemy and bring Raia under [[Earth]]'s control.

== Characters ==
* <span style="color:red;">1st Lieutenant '''Jeff Perkins'''</span> pilots the AEX-10M BLODIA, a well-designed machine that is equally matched in all areas of combat. Its firepower is below average but makes up slightly greater attack distance.
* <span style="color:blue;">Captain '''Ray Turner'''</span> pilots the SVA-6L REPTOS, a mecha designed for close ranged/melee combat. Its light and mobile specifications make it plausible for high-speed situations.
* <span style="color:green;">Major '''Glenn Reed'''</span>  uses the AEX-10H GULDIN, a power-type mech used for absorbing damage and plowing through opposition. Its high attack statistics give it a low speed designation, however.
* <span style="color:orange;">2nd Lt '''Sarah White'''</span> uses the AEX-12J FORDY, an extremely fast mech used for rushing attacks and a featuring a high mobility. It lacks a sufficient amount of armor and must use its speed to avoid damage.

==Reception==
In Japan, ''Game Machine'' listed ''Armored Warriors'' on their December 1, 1994 issue as being the sixth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.<ref>((cite magazine|title=Game Machine's Best Hit Games 25 - テーブル型TVゲーム機 (Table Videos)|magazine=[[:ja:ゲームマシン|Game Machine]]|issue=485|publisher=[[:ja:アミューズメント通信社|Amusement Press, Inc.]]|date=1 December 1994|page=25|lang=ja))</ref>

In 2023, Time Extension included the game on their top 25 "Best Beat 'Em Ups of All Time" list.<ref>((cite web |last1=Banks |first1=George |title=Best Beat 'Em Ups Of All Time |url=https://www.timeextension.com/guides/best-beat-em-ups-of-all-time |website=Time Extension |publisher=Hookshot Media |access-date=19 February 2023 |date=14 February 2023))</ref>
