The Armor is a black suit made of protective metal clothing intended to defend its wearer from intentional harm in combat. This black full-body armor is a Sprite-sized protective covering used to prevent damage from being inflicted to an individual from direct contact of weapons or other projectiles. While the Armor does provide some protection to one who dons it, it has no real offensive capabilities. The Armor is an obsolete program from the Armory that can be downloaded into one's icon, but is horribly antiquated against most modern threats such as superviruses or of the like.
A Web Creature arrived in Mainframe and began preying on its residential viruses in order to survive, it infected Megabyte and forced him to merge with Hexadecimal. This upgrade recreated Gigabyte who had previously been torn apart by the Twin City explosion that wiped out Mainframe’s sister city. Bob confronted the virus demanding that it state its name and function, hoping to prove his viral theories correct by checking whether it was benign or not. The Guardian was mistaken as Gigabyte was a Class-5 energy absorbing supervirus which attacked him and attempted to steal his energy. Fortunately Bob escaped, but his Guardian suit took heavy damage in the process.
Bob had to formulate a plan to degrade Gigabyte, but in order to lure the virus away from the Core he had to face him in Floating Point Park. He asked Phong if there was anything in the Armory storage that might be helpful against their new foe. The old Sprite wearily told Bob this was not the Super Computer, a line Bob had become all too familiar with. Nevertheless Phong managed to find some technology that was not energy-reliant or based on energy-projectiles. Bob intended to distract Gigabyte long enough for Phong to detach the sector from the rest of the system, but the virus was not amused by the primitive weapons. Bob ignored him and tried to attack which only angered Gigabyte. After flooring the Guardian, he intended to drain both him and Glitch of all their energy when Hack and Slash surprised attacked the supervirus, sending him reeling. (Gigabyte)
