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...

...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

I think of it as more like Samus's armor. Extra "energy tanks" she gets are simply added to her already cool armor. They are PART of the armor, not items.

Plus, (at least in the early X's) you can save stored sub-tank energy from round to round. X would definately come into this battle fully charged, as Bob mentioned.

I do remember, also, a certain Maverick weapon (the first X, on the SNES) that fires off a 3-way shot uncharged, and when it's charged, makes X completely invincible and still able to fire the 3-way shot. I think he got it off a chameleon or something.. but I haven't played that one in a while.
