Meanwhile the engineer in me is wondering how she’s able to pick up an entire car like that without coming directly in contact with the chassis, IMO all she’d have done is ripped out the radiator and the hood. Oh well, dramatic effect trumps physics!
Comic book physics. Gotta love it.
I get the impression that there will be hair-pulling, eye-blocking, and and an equivalent of the Small Thermal Port right below the Main Port being, *ahem* poked(?) in the next comic.
I just noticed that Sabr has a…well, for lack of a better word, codpiece on the front. yet, that metal part does not continue around to the back, and seemingly does not run between the legs. Meaning it’s just kind of a weight. That must be awkward. Or perhaps the metal is merely covered up by the black presumably mesh-like flexible material? But that makes the whole thing less flexible and comfortable…
Perhaps that’s why they went with a (presumably) Nanotech constructed frame? The difficulties of gender contouring?
That could also just be a loadout specializing in mobility over defense. Let’s face it, high mobility offense systems probably don’t need a whole lot of armor as “the best defense is not getting hit in the first place.” Given that the only real armor there is located on the chest and in the legs, what we’re most likely seeing with the codpiece, the hip pieces and the piece on the lower back are attachment points for different loadouts.
If defense was more of a concern in this design, I would have expected to see more armor across the abdomen and back, but then that would hinder mobility, especially in close quarters situations. While you’d think the buttocks would warrant armor as well, even in current systems employed by the military the focus is placed on the chest/back/abdomen/sides with nothing more than a heavy flap in the groin and butt areas to deflect against debris impacts.
As an aside, my analysis of this is conveniently omitting looking at full body armor from other universes such as HALO’s MJOLNIR system, instead focusing on more real-world(ish) current systems.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCHO TIME!
Coincidence that the enormous butt is centerstage again? A perfect opportunity for literal asskicking.
SABR knows what her best qualities are.
On a more serious note, I LOVE the lighting in Panel 3. The those outlines across her suit are so pleasing to look at
Why’s Saber’s derrière getting more defined with each panel?
Because it draws in the readers? :3
Because this fight counts as workout. It’s actually more effective than the gym.

Thanks, Was Informative! Good Read.
