- The creators of 2040 made the ADP too stupid. At least in the OVA they were able to take out some Boomers.
- Those aren't any ordinary bullets though, they're designed to penetrate metal and disrupt a Boomers electrical functions. It's not always effective, well actually it isn't effective at all for the 2040 ADP, but the OVA ADP had a lot more luck with them and their effectiveness was pretty good. Additionally, creating a laser that can penetrate metal requires A LOT of energy which handheld weapons cannot possibly handle.
@ Kim: The orbital satellite weapons aren't "laser cannons" they're "partical beam weapons" essentially they're firing accelerated particals at extreme speeds and the power required to generate that kind of force would be generated from a nuclear power source most likely.
- The K-Suits are extremely heavy and their primary function was to go in first, soften the Boomer up and then allow for other troops to come in and finish the Boomer off. Most of what the K-Suit actually carries is ammunition for that single minigun.
- It was a style come up with back in the mid 80s in the original BGC.
- Yes they could and no they couldn't. In a plot sense, the power in their suits would last long enough for them to get out. In "reality" the power used to get them out would be too great and since the 2040 suits have a battery limit, it'd run out before they could get themselves out. The only way they could be saved if someone rescued them.
- In the OVA they do, in fact in the OVA you see the Knight Sabers go through some intensive training which explains why they're so talented rather than some holographic simulation type thing 2040 showed.
- I wouldn't, I'd ignore it and look back to the K-Suits in the OVA
- It's just meant to sound cool, the sounds don't actually have to make sense.
- That's a hard one to answer cause every series has different takes on it. Also for 2040, the correct term to use is VOOMER, not Boomer. But anywayz, VOOMERs in 2040 go "rogue" because they're the resulting creations of the Sotai (Galatea), in essence they were built to go rogue, though not intentionally. They are essentially slaves of society and are rebelling against that society. The reason they take on such monsterous forms is because they are essentially evolving from the form they were given.
- Yeah.
@ Kim: Actually all VOOMER cores will go rogue at some point, in that one instance, Mason had that VOOMERS core swapped with one that was showing signs of going rogue. It was probably from some lab experiment done in the depths of Genom Tower.
