Rarity worked with Rainbow Dash to create Power Armor specifically designed for Pegasi. The armour was built for use by Earth Ponies which makes sense, given that the armour was designed by Applejack, an Earth Pony. The helmets left no room for a slot that a unicorn could fit their horn into. Steel Ranger power armor wasn't built with unicorns in mind. Given how she had designed the armor to save lives and the Zebra empire would undoubtedly find a way to get their hooves on anti-power armor weaponry. The rifle became particuarly feared and infamous by the Steel Rangers as it could pierce the armour and incinerate the Ranger inside.Īpplejack also tried to stop research into weaponry that could pierce power armor, being done by private companies. The Zebra, in response to the Power Armor now being worn by the Equestrian troops, developed the Zebra Rifle, a weapon that would enchant bullets and ignite their targets. The Armor was built with self medicating features, powerful heavy weapons and self repairing talismans. Power Armor was a joint project between the Ministry of Technology and the Ministry of Arcane Science. The Power Armor was built and used by specially trained soldiers, who became the Steel Rangers.
The Power armor was built by Applejack after the death of her older brother, Big Macintosh. Power Armor was first developed by the Ministry of Wartime Technology, under close supervision by Applejack herself.
