Subject: Another Versus Thread

Protection? The suit was downed by infantry weapons fire and once the shield was down the pilot was completely vulnerable (since it isn't really a mech, it is powered armor, so the amount of metal between the "pilot" and outside is relatively small). Technically speaking an Atlas can be downed by infantry weapons fire as well, but it has massive armor plating (like most mechs) in addition to its barrier. Disruptor ammo would shred the Prototype, whereas the Atlas's two different types of protection which each defeat different types of ammunition, meaning that only either highly concentrated firepower, or massive overwhelming force can bring it down. Which is what a Mech needs.

IMO, I think there's a reason that the Mantis was designated the Mech of choice for the Infinity over the Prototype, and it has to do with filling the role that a mech should.
