Adette. Cynthia. Go get your Overmen.

[[That's all he had to say about that! It was too brief to be meaningful, but, when has Gainer EVER called people to get their machines? Never, that's right.

It was this recent announcement about moving in to take out Adventus once and for all. For him, this was the "Final Boss", and what's the one thing a gamer is going to go before fighting the boss he knows is coming?

Grind.

And it's not that Cynthia needed it herself, but, between him and her, the two of them could probably bring Adette up to speed in actual Overman combat. Like HELL they were bring a lv 5 into a lv 85 fight!

But, Gainer's the idiot who makes public broadcasts, rather than private so... intervene as necessary.]]

We're not just playing around. Unlike that bulky blocky machine of yours, we're actually small enough to train around the ship and NOT break something.

[[Challenge issued. Indirectly.]]

Touchy ain'tcha? S'not like ye've got to fight somethin' that can infect and take control of every mecha in existence.

[Challenge accepted.]

It couldn't touch King Gainer if it tried.

Yeah bout that. Venjix can infect through signals too. Just fyi.

...So we'll just beat him before that. I don't know... that sounds like YOUR problem, not mine.

Sounds like you've run out of options. [Point Flynn.] I'm just here to watch.

I didn't run out, I obviously went into your fictional scenario ill-prepared. You probably know there's some loophole which is what your giant cardboard box of a machine is made for.

You can handle that, but don't come crying to me when you don't move fast enough to get a hit in. I wouldn't feel like cooperating with you right now anyway. [[Counter point!]]

That's what extra zords are for. But no worries, we'll just deal with things as they come. Been fighting this war for a year and a half now.

Extra? You have more than one?

At least three different types other than the main five zords, but the Croc Carrier isn't active yet.

Would it have been too much to have built all the ideas into one machine, instead of wasting time, resources and probably lives building five of them?

It sounds a lot better to have one well-rounded robot than give completely specialized ones. Because you're just never going to know what situation is going to happen in a battle, and if you're specialized for the wrong thing... you're going to loose.

[[Think about it Dr. K. It's pretty sound.]]

No, because having one well rounded robot would be redundant. Venjix is constantly upgrading his technology with every attack, and we need to match him step by step or there will be more casualties. Having many and more configurations will lessen the chance of Venjix outpacing us at every turn instead of having to rebuild a robot from scratch each Venjix tech hardware increase.

It still seems pretty wasteful to me. At some point something's going to become obsolete, and then it's just wasted because it 'used to' be top of the line.

But... I don't know anything about your robot or that Vilgax guy [[that was deliberately said wrong]]

Think of it as having a lot of options, and all of those options combine into a bigger, better system. So nothings wasted.

There is that.
