Bio-Booster Armor Guyver (Viz Media) or Guyver (Chuang Yi Publishing) (強殖装甲ガイバー Kyōshoku Sōkō Gaibā?) is a manga series written by Yoshiki Takaya. The Guyver itself is a symbiotic techno-organic (or biomechanical) device that enhances the capabilities of its host.
The manga was originally serialized in Tokuma Shoten's Monthly Shōnen Captain, the first appearance being in the February 18 magazine beginning in 1985. When Shōnen Captain was discontinued in 1997, the manga was picked up by Kadokawa Shoten who subsequently re-released all of the previous tankōbon originally published by Tokuma. The manga is currently serialized in Kadokawa's monthly Shōnen Ace magazine. It has been licensed by Viz Media, Star Comics and Chuang Yi Publishing.
Guyver has been adapted into a single OVA titled Guyver: Out of Control (1986, based loosely on the first four chapters), a 12-episode anime series (1989 to 1992, based roughly on the first four volumes), two live action movies (1991's The Guyver and 1994's Guyver 2: Dark Hero) as well as a 2005 26-episode anime series based on the first 60 chapters (volumes 1-10).

A test type Zoanoid escapes from the Cronos Corporation with three Bio Booster Armor Guyver Units. Cronos soldiers attempt to recover the units from the test type, but are thwarted when the test type detonates a bomb that he has concealed in his bag. The Guyver Units are scattered in the blast. One of the lost Guyver Units, known as "Unit I", lands near two young high school students, Shō Fukamachi and Tetsurō Segawa. The second one is retrieved by Cronos and merges with Oswald A. Lisker to become the second Guyver later on. The final unit falls into the hands of Agito Makishima, who merges with it at an unspecified time. Shō accidentally activates the unit which then painfully merges with him.
Over time, Shō learns more about the Guyver and its abilities. The Guyver is virtually invulnerable, with its only weak point being the Control Metal. With this part intact, it can rebuild the host from the data stored within. If this part is critically damaged, however, the host will be eaten alive by the unit and perish. This is disconcerting and Shō starts to question whether he will ever be free from the Guyver. The situation gradually gets worse with continuously more powerful Zoanoids appearing. This makes it increasingly difficult to protect his vulnerable friends.
As the story progresses it also takes a startling turn, in which Cronos actually succeeds in taking over the world and reshaping it according to its ideals.

Get the vagina armor mug.Armored Core is a arcade-style mecha-simulation game. The multi-mission format is based on the "blow up teh stuff!" priciple that in itself is definitive of the Armored Core series. Armored Core among it's cult following is known as an engaging customization based game, with a vast potential curbed mostly by an obtuse control-scheme, poor localization decisions (lack of online functionality), and startling gameplay imbalances. Nonetheless, the series is on its 8th iteration, with the 9th in development.

Get the Armored Core mug.Armoured Farmer, in reference to both the stereotype that all Cornish born men are all farmers at heart, and the Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) of the British Army. Any Cornishman that joins 2nd Royal Tank Regiment (2RTR) will be known as an 'Armoured Farmer'. This is due to the tank being a substitute for his tractor. The term is only really used in reference to any ex-3RTR and currently serving 2RTR soldiers. Officers are seen as far to educated to be considered farmers.
Para: Oi Tankie! where u from?
Tankie: Cornwall mate... why?
Para: *in best westcountry accent* 'Cos you be an Armoured Farmer OOH ARGH!
