Meh. It would have been cool, but then you went and didn't include Kaos.
Seriously, though, neat idea. If a little over the top. I mean, what's to stop people from ...

Sponsored by Kazahana-Schrdinger, established manufacturers of vibronics equipment, coming to you live from wherever the hell they might have ended up this week:
The Julia - close combat expert and vibro-wire virtuoso in shades of green and gold. Fast, agile, no great armor value but very flexible. Weapons loadout limited to fingertip claws, gauntlet-housed vibro-wire (a lot of it, though), and an over-the-shoulder compressed gas grenade launcher that allows loads from basic fragmentation, to HE RPG rounds. The user seems to favor rounds that explode on contact, scattering a volatile chemical corrosive.
The Kiyohime - generalist with a focus on close combat, this one in black and royal purple. Primary weapon is a vibro-blade fitted naginata. It also fields a head mounted laser projector, and a discardable back/shoulder mounted micro-missile launched with nine chambers and space for two magazines.
The Duran - a dedicated shooter/heavy support unit, steel-blue with white accents, it's close combat weapons loadout consisting solely of a retractable, armored spike in the housing of the left gauntlet. It's capable of Ground Effect Flight, but it's primary role consists of getting to an overwarch position and blasting away with its twin shoulder mounted recoilless cannons. The user seems to favor liquid-nitrogen splatter-rounds (code Silver), though the weapons are capable of launching anything from HEAP (code Chrome) to subnukes (code Platinum).
The Miroku - the other dedicated close combat model. Black, with red trim. It's not anywhere as nimble as the Julia, but it's armored almost as well as the Duran and very, very fast, in part thanks to the fact that other than armor, almost all the space went to myomers. The rest because of the impressive power of its thrusters. They can only be used in short bursts, though. It's the heavy hitter, the berserker, the proverbial 'muscle' of the team. Fielding shock-plates on knees and elbows, as well as spiked-knuckle-like assemblies that fold out from the gauntlets when required, the main weapon is a Panzerbrecher vibro-edged sword _easily_ as long as the suit is tall.
The Kagutsuchi - the other long range support unit, though this one is fully flight capable, unlike the Duran. Orange, red and white, it fields almost exclusively energy weapons, as well as an experimental energy shield system. Gauntlet mounted lasers, shoulder mounted PBC projectors, and so on ... the Miroku can probably do more damage to a single target, but Kagutsuchi excells at engaging multiple hostiles and, if not outright frying them, then at least keeping them pinned down for artillery fire.
The Diana - not a hardsuit. More a stealthed ECM/EECM platform, as well as the ride of the resident electronics expert/hacker. A quad-legged frame. Turret mounted laser clusters for self-defense purposes as well as rangefinding and the like.
... *snicker* hell, there's even a built-in plot coming with this. The USSD is working on another Cynthia-model, not having learned their lesson from a few years ago, only providing a tricked-out 33-C as a bodyguard.
Nyaa.
