If a druid wearing +1 dragonhide full plate wild shapes into a T-rex, the druid no longer benefits from the armor's armor bonus to AC. (I assume any enhancement bonuses on that armor bonus also don't apply).
1. Does the armor still slow down the druid per the rules for wearing heavy armor?
2. Do the armor's armor check penalty and/or maximum Dexterity bonus still apply?
3. Does the weight of the armor (and other melded gear) still encumber the wild shaped form? In other words, do full plate and a stuffed backpack make for a fat, slow T-rex?
4. If any of the above are "no", then does the same still apply with +1 wild dragonhide full plate? Now that you get the armor bonus, do you get the drawbacks as well?
Cheers.

Also, thanks for the response, blackbloodtroll.
The armor becomes a part of your new form. In essence, it ceases to exist until you shift into a shape that can wear it again; in this case all of the normal penalties and restrictions would apply again.
Actually I think:
3) Yes - the weight is still there so if you're now medium or heavy encumbred you get slowed down. But you don't get speed reduction for wearing medium or heavy armor, if the load you carry is just light.
4) Yes and No. Those are two questions with opposite answers, you're aware of that right? :) Yes, the same still applies. No, you don't get the penalties of the armor, just the bonus. It costs +3 for the wild enhancement, it's supposed to give you a little something for that price, otherwise enchanted barding would be far superior.
