So while reading about the gray goo armor I noticed something that confused me. when the wiki talked about one of the transformations she can have was the one about forming a helmet but that it Decreased armor by 2. but wouldn't it cover more of Steele so wouldn't it give more armor?

I believe that's because the helmet makes the armor airtight so the -2 is to balance that. It can also be explained by saying that increasing the area the suit covers lowers the overall protection it grants

hmm ok I can see a little about the air tight. could grant 100% immunuty against air based attacks (pheromones) but the overall protection thing would be a little countered by the fact your know covering your head. and you could just add more goo to so speak to Nova.

Two words, game balance. otherwise there is no reason to ever get rid of the helmet. as mentioned above, the in-game justification is her spreading herself thinner.
