Powersuit 4.1
Once again, Bienjensu declares "auf wiedersehen" to competitors

WHO HERE does not remember the Powersuit 4.0 debacle? At 8 years in the making, naysayers were quick to jump to the conclusion 4.0 was nothing more than a dribbly fanboy pipe dream, a flim-flam piece of vaporware destined to never see the light of day. Bienjensu was close-lipped on releasing any media of the much-vaunted Powersuit, refusing to even confirm 4.0's existence. And who can blame them? After the runaway success of Powersuit 1.0, all eyes were on Bienjensu's next move: Powersuit 4.0. As it turns out, Powersuit 4.0 never did come out of the oven, leaving naysayers happy as clams. But in a clutch move, Bienjensu quietly announced something even better: Powersuit 4.1.

Suits You, Suits Me
Being the final model in the 'By Magician' line of Bienjensu Powersuits, we had high expectations regarding performance and function. Powersuit 4.1 met, surpassed, and pompously beat the living bejesus out of our stress tests. Ease of suit-up is revolutionary: while users typically wear suits, in the case of Powersuit 4.1, it is the suit that wears the user. It's a mind-bender, made all the more confusing considering the suit is completely molecule-tight and has no openings whatsoever. We are still scratching our heads on this one, folks, but take our word for it: once you try it, you'll never go back.

We Don't Need No Stinkin' Armor
While other suits often depend on finding armor-unit supplements in the battlefield and manually augmenting them on, the Powersuit 4.1 has no such need. Housed in its Idle Control System is a Matador Shield Generator. Shield is powered by inexhaustible uphill battery and automatically zeroes during urination processes. Upon taking damage, the Matador system will automatically begin to regenerate shields to maximum level.

The Air Up There
Though Gummi Jump Jets are typically associated with droptanks and high-end mechloaders, Bienjensu has achieved in fitting one onto Powersuit 4.1. Normal jumping has been kept intact, and can be done by single-clicking JUMP. To ignite jump jets, user simply double-clicks JUMP. As with all suits, jump jetting can only be done when both feet are firmly planted on the ground. Despite being Gummi's first foray into the suit industry, they picket-fenced across all of our jump-jet test charts.

Open Your Eyes
Bienjensu pulled no punches in the optical systems. Lens uses a NikkorZoom™ 448mm lens, self-leveling and auto-regrinding on by default. User can activate NikkorZoom™ zoom-lens as a scope, a definite plus for reconnaisance or sniping purposes. As a topping to an already delectable cake, optics are patched in to an ILLUMILight™ flashlight system. The ILLUMILight™ flashlight will illuminate the immediate area in front of user.

Edison, I Can Hear You
Communication deck is outfitted with a J-Kimball TMR audio stick. The switchable dual-diaphragm architecture allows for unlimited audio channels, though common use dictates the need for only two channels (Global and Team). Channel clicking is done via jaw. Mainframe server is powered by Gaimboy. The Power Suit is also equipped with an N-Step Command-Line Parser. The parser accepts user commands via any chat channel. To see the parser help-menu, simply enter /? into any chat channel.

Magic Loogie
Read the numbers all you want, but it all boils down to this: pony up the dough and thank us later.

Say hello to Bienjensu's new pride and joy, basking in all of its shellplated glory.
