A type of personal [[mecha]] armor from the [[Macross]] universe. This advanced [[power suit]] appeared first in the [[Macross Frontier]] anime [[science fiction]] TV series from 2008. The [b]EX-Gear[/b] (Extender-Gear EG-01M/MP) is a special suit designed as both a reinforced-exoskeleton powered suit as well as an ejection seat/emergency unit for new variable fighters. It is even capable of flight on its own, with its miniature hybrid jet/rocket engine and large variable-geometry wings. The military model (military specification EGP-03/05) is used by the [[VF-25]], [[VF-171]]EX, [[YF-29]], [[YF-30]], [[VF-1EX]] and [[VF-31]] pilots as an armored [[pilot suit]] to tolerate the extremely high speeds and acceleration these new variable fighters can reach. It can be used by a VF pilot to control the fighter remotely. Due to its high mobility in the ground and its high maneuverability in the air it is also used as a small personal combat [[power armor]] and as a highly versatile mechanized infantry support unit. There is also a civilian version (utility-type PS/ML-21) used for flight training and air acrobatics purposes. In [[real life]] the EX-GEAR was designed by [[Ishigaki Jun'ya]].
