Magitek Armor

Magitek Armor is a technological device in Final Fantasy VI. It was created by the Gestahlian Empire to be used as a weapon. Magitek Armor is operated by a pilot sitting inside, who pulls levers to make the Armor walk and attack. It is utilized in almost all Imperial attacks and raids, and is often seen in cities conquered by the Empire. Like most Magitek devices and methods, it was developed by Cid Del Norte Marquez. All Magitek Armor units are produced in the Magitek Research Facility. There are various enemies that can be fought in the game that involve Magitek Armor to some degree. These include Magitek Armor, Heavy Armor, Proto Armor, and Mega Armor. There are also a handful of Magitek Machines in the World of Ruin. Pluto Armor appears as a manifestation in Cyan's Soul, and Duel Armor appears within Kefka's Tower.

Special Ability
Wearing Magitek Armor gives access to the Magitek command, although there are limited occasions where Magitek Armor is usable; the first time is at the beginning of the game, where the player controls Terra, Biggs and Wedge. The second time is at the camp near Doma Castle, where Sabin, Cyan and Shadow if the player recruited him, escape in stolen Magitek Armor.

Terra alone is able to use the full arsenal of Magitek abilities.
