re: #152 Targetpractice

“Our enemy is one whose primary weapons are surgically-sharp claws that can flay a man alive without any effort. So let’s go ahead and build mechs with open cockpits so that we can make taking them out all the easier.”

Part of the problem with applying real-world logic to movies, namely that we forget that in movie world, you gotta keep an open cockpit so you can see the actors get ripped to shreds. See also: Starship Troopers.

Except it works just fine with Robert Downey in Iron Man.
