It only functions as life-support and enough leg power to support itself.
I'll admit this is my first attempt at something steam punk, so I'm might have not added details it should have to it.
just for the sake of making some sense out of this, i'd rather just call it a machine rather than label it as steampunk. a couple of exaust pipes doesnt really make for how steam powered machinery works.
Fair enough. Although if I may ask, what would it take to turn this into an actual steampunk armor?
you might still consider taking some references from the victorian era(although you'd be surprised to knwo armors in the 19th century were pretty much used for aesthetic purposes knowing firearms had enough power to pierce them easily). [hi i am an ugly reference]
that, and a proper study and understanding on how steam powered engineering works, so you'll be able to realise if you could lift and sustain every single one of the mechanisms required to operate such thing. you know miniaturizing wasnt a particular trait of how steam engines were develop -as in the bigger the boiler was, the more energy you could gain from it-
rather than just pretend its a bag of cogs spining and pumping steam out of a tube.
knowing this, you'd take a more logical approach and actually desing the machinery you need first, and then over what you got, desing the chasis and/or protective plates in the aesthetics of the victorian era.
unless of course you can just pretend its a bag of cogs puping out white clouds of steam bullshit.
