Talk:Power fist

Coincidence
So is it coincedentail that Fisto and Shocker both happen to be sexual terms? 98.111.94.56 00:25, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Personal experience
In the article, it is said that it may require a high level of luck to find the Power Fist in the footlockers of the Talon Company Camp but with a Luck level of 6, I've found 2 of them. I guess they are simply added randomly and I was incredibly lucky. Bi0mesis 23:51, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Reference?
Power Fists somehow remind me of Hellboy's stone-fist. (When worn with non-Power-Armor they look kinda huge) Coincidence? Kamuikaze 16:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I can think of a few other possible references; D&D, robotech, mechanoid invasion, RIFTS rpg, marvel comics infinity gauntlet... I'm sure there are others. AshRandom (Talk) 16:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Displacer Glove?
I'm pretty sure displacer gloves should go here: 1.) The article isn't specific to pneumatic power-fists,as a ballistic fist is not pneumatic. 2.) It's an unarmed, powered, glove-style weapon, as are all these. Lemme know how y'all feel, post on my talk page if you want to explain why it isn't here. --Valoopy

UPDATE: I threw the Zap Glove in too, notify me before it's taken down. I'd like to know why if it happens. --Valoopy

Different mechanism?
The classic "Big Frigger" style power fist seems to be described as functionally different than the post Bethesda models. The classic style is described as using servomotors to enhance the user's strength (and the design background suggests it was to be a logical extension of power armor), as opposed to a nuclear powered piston. Setting aside the fridge logic of the former, are these in fact supposed to operate on different mechanisms? Is the Big Frigger basically a power armor style fist, in that it uses servomotors to enhance the wearer's physical strength to more than compensate for the added weight (and presumably distributes the load across more than the relatively fragile human fist inside it)? 207.161.213.187 21:31, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe that is the intention, yes. Problem is, the power fist in Fo1 and Fo2 isn't really explored in detail and the sprite doesn't leave much to go on. However, given how it appears to encase the hand, I thing it might be something like the cestus hybridized with a weighted-knuckle glove.Tagaziel (talk) 15:00, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
