Depends on how far the spikes shoot.
To me, the best thing about this article is the subheadline:
“Machine may prove helpful by shooting nine-inch nails from the shoulders and 20-foot flames from forearms.”
Helpful when, exactly? When the mean other mechas are torturing animals or something? Helpful when you need a 20-foot flame thrower?
Strictly speaking, yes.
Or out his backside. The best thing is that even when the flamethrower isn’t spewing, you’re still gonna look over at his and see a little pilot flame coming out his ass. We should all be so lucky.
You seriously underestimate the mecha’s power and the ability to shoot and cook your own meal out in the Alaskan wilderness in the safe confines of a steel frame amongst other competing predators …Muwwwhhhahhhahahahahaha!
