From what I know now, is that Laevatein has 2 "hidden arms". Due to the superior strength of Laevaten, it destroys the Codarl-m trio and use ITS HAND (WTF?) to grab Benemoth's LEGS (WTF?). At last it unleashed its Trump Card: Demoliton Gun Howizter Mode and destroys enemies a kilometer away from it. (According to Japanese Wikipedia, without Lambda Driver that monster can't be fired, and when it has it can destroy a Benemoth in one hit.)
All enemies are slienced in 4.5 minutes (But from Japanese Wikipedia it's 5 minutes 52 seconds, but either time will be slower than Sousuke's and AL's suggested time).
Sigh we don't need another Gundam .... thank you Gatou for fudgie up "reality" :evil:

Sigh now I have nothing left to annoy GunDiots ..... except Pat Labor :)

Arquebus would've been a great name, but Laevetein (or however you spell it in english) is much better...

But of course I would say that, I grew up with pegan mythology read to me as bedtime stories :D
Is it just me, or are there way too many talking decapitated heads around these days?

The Demolition Gun's howitzer mode destroys an enemy from ONLY a kilometer away? I was expecting something longer-ranged, considering that it's an artillery piece. It's meant to blow shit up from long range. (It looks a lot like a US Army arty gun to me. I could be wrong though; fighters are more my thing.)

Destroying a Behemoth in one hit: well, the Lambda Driver is a force multiplier. *shrugs*

I would assume that if it is artillery, it's not meant for single targets.

hmmhmm...I didn't really consider the whole realism-aspect, but I guess the point is that being a big mofo like a behemoth won't save you from one well-placed weapon-blast...which, when you think about it, kindof makes a lot of sense.

Sousuke kicking a ton of butt...well, one-sided battles suck the drama out of fighting...but really, is there that big of a difference between Sousuke pwn'ing behemoths and venoms? His lambda driver was always stronger, and take a look at his history - he smacks up a behemoth, he get's busted by a venom, and then he kicks down 5 venoms...

In-canon, the major difference is their destructive potential and capacity for killing off regular-sized AS's, while the behemoths clearly are in a considerably weaker position defensively...

I don't see much of a problem with this new AS, at least not compared with the past...

imho ... it's not done ....

Rules of generic heroes should apply

First the hero gets beaten to a pulp.
There is the usual I won't give up / must save everyone resolve.
and only after the above he should be able to kick some ass.. :)

A more detailed summary of Chapter 10 by HunterSeeker:
1. The Amalgam Attackers are known as the units commanded directly by Mr.Au. They're bored for no opponents to fight: estimated Codarl-ms as guards of the mansion are nowhere to be seen (blown up by Uruz team already), and those Eligors, while are good opponents, soon retreated after a short fight. Their thirst of fighting goes even higher when they saw the Benemoth-i blew up the lone helicopter. (Well, in a frenzied/crazed state after taking drugs) Then they got insight of a new AS with a power output of 4800KW------2 times more than 3rd Generation AS, and suspassing those of a fighter/warship. (WTF?) Then the HQ told them to destroy this new AS.
2. Sousuke was stunned by the amazing jumping capibility of Laevatein------30G power, 80m from the ground in a few seconds. (WTF?) We also know that Hunter did participate in the secret building of Laevatein, but didn't go for a test run (proposed by AL itself) due to lack of time and place. The first Codarl-m ran up with its LD on with a Monomolecular Cutter, but Laevatein started its LD and grabbed hold if its cutter, then a punch from Laevatein broke Codarl's field, slammed on its body and pulled its generator out (Insert GaoGaiGar/EVA fighting style here. WTF?). An additional kick obiliterated it (Of course, Sousuke is stunned by its power to destroy an AS by bare hands).
3. The 2 remaining approached, and Laevatein used its GRAW-4 Monomolecular Cutter. While one attacked him directly at front and another tried to attack at the back, AL controls Laevatein's "Hidden Arms" and throws anti-AS Grenades at the Codarl-m behind like there're 2 pilots on the mecha. (WTF?) That Codarl-m was pinned in an instant, and Laevatein did a Whirlwind Kick at the Codarl-m at the front, kicks it down before jumping back to deal with the second one. It fires at Laevatein, only with its bullet blocked by LD and being cutted into 4 parts in an X sign in the chest (Exactly what's the finishing slashing move for those Brave Series in the past. WTF?). The downed Codarl wanted to escape, but AL handed an Anti-Armour Dagger to Sousuke (exactly what the words mean), who threw it at that Codarl-m, penetrated its LD and BLAM. The "Hidden Arms" are shown to be used for assisting attacks, exchanging magazines and other sorts of works (by the words of AL).
3. The helicopter wasn't on fire or exploded since it's a design improved throughout 30 years. Though no one died in the progress, Lemon and his friends are surrounded by angry mobs of enemies and ammo runs low. (Wraith even said "I only came here since 'it can be delivered safely to here', but why should I join a desparate gunfight in places like Mexico!? ") We also know how Lemon got the Laevatein: When Sousuke reported the situation of the mansion in M6A3, they saw a large truck drove to them and Wraith said "If you want to go, also bring that." No one knows why AL knows Sousuke will go to the mansion (Wraith followed what AL said and came) though.
4. The Benemoth-i attacked, and such a large barrage of ammo upon Laevatein made it unable to escape (due to the short distance) and loses its balance, allowing the ridiculously fast Benemoth-i stepped on it. But it isn't dead though, Laevatein went for maximum output and using the bursting power of LD, it pushed the Benemoth-i back with its right leg damaged, falling down with its face facing the sky. Then they proceeded to jump onto its head and uses its cutter to disable it. Another closer Benemoth-i fired, only be dodged by it and the armour of the downed Benemoth. AL then told shocked Sousuke (of course, only MBTs will have 120mm+ Main Gun, and so far the biggest weapons for their AS to use is Kurtz's Sniping Cannon, 76mm) to use the 165mm Demolition Gun, which can't be fired without the use of LD. Laevatein then jumped into the air, blocking smaller bullets and shooting down the anti-AS missiles by its Gatling Cannon in the head, landed behind it before jumping up and landed upon its head. a LD attack upon Laevatein was blocked and he fired the Gun at its brain in point-blank range, destroying it. The remaining Belemoth tried to escape, but AL, useing its "Hidden Arms", refitted the Demolition Gun as a Howizter, maximum range=50KM. Sousuke then aimed at its head, fire (Laevatein falls down due to the backward force of the gun) and BLAM, 6 AS destroyed.
After the fight they had a little conversation (expect Sousuke scolding AL for its self-conscience), and within both admitted they missed each other. However, they won't be able to chase Chidori's helicopter, so they'll need to help Lemon and his gang.
5. On the helicopter, Chidori is still thinking if she's going to resist or not since Kalinin was aboard, and she still felt sorry for shooting Leonard. But she soon realized that mercy will ruin her life, and since no one noticed her, she hastly grabbed the pistol of the soldier beside her, and call him to tell the pilot to fly the plane back.

OK, I really want to shout "OMFG WTF?" for the fighting style of Laevatein, reminding me about some kung-fu scenes like the Matrix. However, the original descriptions is awesome, very detailed and the conversations between AL and Sousuke are really funny, despite I hate this type of Super Robot style mecha designs......(The translator, being a female, is also stunned by the ridiculous power of Laevatein)
And as speculations, Chidori will fail to escape since Kalinin can easily suppress her, or just let her shoot herself.

Can't wait to see this scene animated.

That AL controlled extra set of arms are quite original imho


No one knows why AL knows Sousuke will go to the mansion.

Oh well what can ya say .. the bond between man and his machine ... <g>

Still if the Laevatein is this powerful, Amalgam must have something that can match it in the garage.

After reading HunterSeeker's meticulous summary of the latest chapter I have only one thing to say: "WTF?" :lol:

They are like one. ;)

Though seriously, AL only has to know where Chidori is to get a track of Sousuke really quick... :-D
You don't need to be a supercomputer A.I system to be able to predict that.

Well. Whoa.

Taurec: If you're accurate enough, you can drop an arty shell on a single target. It's not so much the gun itself as it is the round: most modern artillery shells use fragmentation warheads, not a single bigass round. Except those hugeass one-ton 16-inch battleship gun shells.

Artillery has been used to kill a tank, refer to Mulcahy v Ministry of Defence, where an arty crew fired a gun at an Iraqi tank inbound.

Anyways, killing 6 AS with one shot suggests a self-forging frat\gment warhead.

Anything that goes boom and shoots out something nasty can be used for it.
But that doesn't mean it's made for the job. :)

True, but they're using arty to kill tanks from afar now, or so I hear, so it's not so bad....

165mm is an interesting caliber, tho. I think you need custom ammo for it - I know for sure the US uses only 105mm and 155mm....

What would be totally unbelievable would be a 16" battleship gun. :twisted:

Why not? ... All Gatou has to think up is a LD driven inter dimensional storage magazine to store the shells.
