Enjoy another page! The action doesn’t really stop for the rest of the chapter, so hold on tight ;)

“Plot my route?”
“Go faster!”
“I could have thought of that myself!”
- Daniel Sharp
  
  Hehehe. More like:
  
  Plot my route.
  … time passes, route is plotted on his HUD (which we can’t see on the panel). He successfully follows route but is going too slow.
  Go faster!
  He does and thus doesn’t get deaded.
  
  Sorry if that wasn’t clear. Yours is funnier though :)

    I quite like the term “deaded.”
    - Daniel Sharp
      
      Very descriptive, no? ;)

    With a fast enough AI with 360 degree sensors she may literally be able to tell him when to slow down and speed up to foul their aim, accounting for reaction time. (It gets even better if she has directly control over the suit’s motors)

“Oh yeah!”

Anyone else reminded of the Kool Aid in the last panel? No? Just me? Yeah, I thought so…

Fletchettes with explosive tips would be ideal to penetrate armor.

Oh my God !
He’s like a giant dinosaur, going straight destroying walls !
Izumi Ryu

Is it just me or did he use a body as a battering ram?
- Daniel Sharp
  
  Hehe, we were actually trying to show that he tucked the “body” (that’s a person man! That’s Hiro!) in and used his shoulder to break down the wall ;)

Really nice run sequence there, lots of good line of action poses for being in such a suit. Great job on that one. :)

A nit-pick, here, but for the Flechettes to function efficiently, it’s unlikely that they would use an explosive tip. I mean, the time-delayed explosive part was just fine, but it probably wouldn’t be contained in the tip, as that carries the potential of damaging the Flechette when it impacts armor. It didn’t look like an explosive penetrator when our friends a few panels back were hit, so I assume it’s something like a diamond-hardened tip, or something, with the explosives contained in the body of the flechette.

  Oh yeah by tip I meant more contained within the tip/body. Poor word choice on my part :D

    No problem. I’m just being an insufferable war-tech nerd, it read just fine in the comic :P
    - Daniel Sharp
      
      We like having war-tech nerd around :)

        That’s good, although I’m sure I’m not the only one :3
