The pun made me cringe, but it's fine. The drones are a bit problematic, not because of their harassment and temporary barrier uses, but because they are laser-based, which is too similar to what my mecha's drones are going to utilize. There also needs to be an added note that the Framewerk's design was influenced by the Ramirez family, who also gave funding to its development, which is the reason for the Frame's non-ergonomic and quirky design.

No problem. For the secondary system, what if hand and whip retract then the flowers around wrists and forhead blossom up wider for a shield, looking more like a thornbush when crouched down?

As for the questionable design:
"What the hell is that? Some Kid's Saturday morning wet dream?"

"Well, if you want a 14 year old to save the world and have a spare national debt in your bank account... You can make yours look however you want. If it helps him synchronise and buy all the steel in Pitsburg needed to build this place, then by all means, let him play hero."
