Romeo had to make a tough decision, here he had promised not to take the other on just yet. But on the other hand he attacked his first person he wanted to call a friend in a long time. It was one thing to take on Rose, but another to cut down another flower in bloom. 

He established target locks as archers shot brought him to a standstill. Suddenly his data intake took a huge spike from all the reconnaissance drones. He moved like a [i]danseur[/i] as he spun into the fray to minimize the damage he was receiving, taking the slower fired explosive rounds in such ways to twist into the tortion rather than wreck himself resisting the explosive force. He was getting hit, but he let the force of the grazing shots guide him rather than divert him. Komodo may be made for close and midrange, but Romeo was a lover, rose was made to embrace his enemy in melee with armor meant to close the distance. As the medium mech danced about from side to side like a hornet, All rose had to do was the slightest of shifts to continue plowing in. 

When the coward tried to run, Romeo could only laugh as he easily matched the speed if not close in since he was flying slower before to give false data to his enemy. At best he would overtake the other, at worst they might be evenly matched for distance if not for those whips of his. Snapping out with great aerodynamics, the streamlined vines used the target lock he never lost along with the drone data to try and get a grip.

Primary concern was to establish a hold, most likely a foot or the arms. Next would be the rotating tortion of the established grapple. Like two anacondas with a shared mind, he could wrap and weave himself up its body. There are five types of loads that can act on a structure: tension, compression, shear, bending and torsion. No matter how advanced, no structure can act against all five, not even the sphere. Most mech are made to resist compression, shear and bending to prevent being crushed shot or torn. But Rose was made with tension and tortion in mind. He was made to twist and tear the aliens apart. 

Secondary concern was weapons. He was certain komdo had some sort of melee defense, but unless it was sawblades coming out of the sides. it was most likely a melee weapon for the open hand design on the right. If he could establish grapple, the vines would try to work their way up to the arms and put him in a full nelson, if not just rip his arm off at the damaged shoulder from archer. The gun arm was not to be ignored as even a melee heavy build would still suffer at point blank against that gun. 

Thankfully, he had a gun now too.
