So you meant when Slimy bit its wing. I thought you were implying that it hadn't even gotten the chance to fly because of the pauldron.

But then again, how do I know what you meant? I mean, I only have your word, and you've shown me that anything can be interpreted in any way, so long as it helps win a fight O.O.C'ly.

If Slimy did touch the pauldron, it wouldn't have been hard enough to draw attention. It's not some gook that bumps into chairs.

The way I saw it Slimy had two options to get off the Mech fast enough to escape the chain-gun, if he wanted to go right (why you wanted to go right I do not know, probably the worst decision). Either dive directly off the Mech from the point it was at, at which point at least some of its very long and injured body would have caught on the pauldron and revealed it, or as is more logical and likely, Slimy would claw its way rightward and throw itself off the Mech from the pauldron. Either way, Slimy is a solid 300kg, that's enough weight throwing itself into or off the arm to draw attention, it's not like Higan has anything else to go on in his blind Mech.
