If you're only interested in the end result, you might take a look at the concept for the "Juggernaut Armor" in the 3E Magic Items 1. I would build such a Golem as an Alternate Form and use the limitations suggested in Supers: Gadget Limitations, Preventable -10% (i.e. someone can stop you from switching to your Alternate Form by keeping you from getting inside of it), and Nuisance Effect: Real Armor -5% (only if the Golem weighs more than your Heavy Encumbrance and you have to actually get inside of it).

Alternatively, you could use Mailanka's living battlesuit designs, based on (I think) David Pulver's work in Pyramid, on his Psi-Wars Wiki - the "Flesh Carapace" page is what you'll want to search for. In any case, it might be worth looking at Mailanka's blog and reading his series of posts on "Are Battlesuits Broken?"
