im not talking about "started with"
im talking about the fact that the tanks are not equivalent to the armor
they are added into the armor and are distinctly seperate items that you get
and someone mentioned earlier that items are not allowed.. and seems only weaponry or direct natural abilities are allowed

but i do see why this argument is not really valid since once X finds the tanks it becomes more like a learned ability that can be used during battle
but you must of course remember that tanks do not start out filled.. they must be filled with stored energy.. by getting extra energy items and in a way storing the items into the tank
