The power fist is a primitive weapon system used by conventional battle armor. An armored head is shot forward by powerful hydraulics, delivering a staggering punch. This is effective against structures, barricades, and for close range called shots against tanks. The power fist is cheap to make, easy to maintain, and sickeningly effective against infantry and unarmored vehicles. Unfortunately, the fist is a slow weapon and usually goes last in combat. Heavy, ultra-heavy and impact absorbing armor can also stop a power fist. There are special power armors that mount two fists, and there are mecha sized power fists.

Doesn't adding a picture make this 1,100 words?

But even limited to a 100 words this feels padded. I would have focused more the athestics of the item and less on its mechanics.

If Power Fists were a novel concept, this would be a fine post. As it is, though, the Power Fist isn't really a concept that needs a brief write-up, and that leaves this post a bit weak. Other than that great picture, I don't really feel like I got anything out of this submission.
