They are not used by the EDC anymore.

Exo-Suits
Exo-suits are one-man suits that cover the pilot from head to toe. The weapon systems are weaker because of the smaller power plants needed to keep the suit usable by the pilot. Most exos are designed around the pilot and his physical abilities, which determine the exo's movement. Current technology allows an exo-suit and pilot to be just as dexterous and fast as an average Transformer. Since the introduction of the larger exo-armors, basic exo-suits are usually used for scouting and support roles. Exo-armors are larger than an exo-suit and are piloted by basic controls. While their speed and reaction time can be slower, their larger frames allow for more powerful weapon systems and much more armor than an exo-suit. These are typically used for front line combat.

ARES

 * ES-04A ARES: The non-subspace equipped ARES version was developed as an alternative to the Phoenix. The heaviest armed and armored of the EDC exos, this exo-suit could easily take on a Transformer of average size and have a better than average chance against it compared to earlier exo-suits.

Riptide

 * ES-05 Riptide: A 2010 addition, the Riptide was the first naval exo-suit with the capability of reaching depths of over a mile and a half, and supplying the pilot with life support for nearly 14 hours of underwater operation time.

StarKnight

 * ES-06S StarKnight: The StarKnight, a space-capable platform, is another first in exo-suits. It was built with the ability to launch into orbit for a quicker response across the globe, though StarKnights reaching space are usually transported by shuttle in order to maximize their operation time.

Glaive

 * ES-19 Glaive: Sergeant Michael Briar developed the Glaive in early 2016 just before Project Generation was to take place later that year. The Glaive was to be put in an urban combat and suppression role not taken up by any one exo-suit until that time.
 * ES-19U Glaive: A short gain project to modify the Glaive with a modular weapons package to allow more flexibility during missions. Because of major design flaws, the project was cancelled.

Exo-Armor
These are the larger cousins of exo-suits, the next generation of exo-class battlesuits and the more powerful. Most stand roughly 20 feet tall and are covered with a dense carbon-metallic alloy that is only half as strong as a Transformer's armor, but still provides more protection than most of today's exo-suits and the tanks of the late 20th century. Movement is achieved by a combination of servos and a metallic muscle fiber system that functions much the same way as organic muscles. Weapon systems are varied but generally go to the heavier types of ballistic weapons and rocket launchers. With the advent of smaller, more powerful explosives and specially designed charges, rockets can be built smaller and more compact to allow for multiple units to be mounted in the Exo-Armor.

Prototype Exo-Armor

 * EA-01 Prototype Exo-armor : Currently under development by the Alameda EDC engineering team after testing with the Glaive was finished. It is currently being designed, built, and tested in the Alameda base, San Francisco.

Warthog

 * EA-02 Warthog: The first use of exo-armors with transformation technology. The Warthog can transform into a hovertank and is typically used in a heavy artillery support role.

Talon

 * EA-37 Talon: The winner of EDC's Project Forge contest and built by Lockheed-Martin. The Talon is the next generation of transforming exo-armor. This exo-armor is built around a fighter with VTOL abilities and can be adapted for many roles.
