4:36 God I love explosions. 4:40 Still kinda weirded out by his arms moving tho. 4:54 imo? Perfect place to put in Rough Journey. 5:06 continuity question; What happened to those improved armorplates? 5:09 mild CGI nitpick? maybe. iirc the downwards muzzle blast should be spreading across the front slope, not directly in front of the hull side. 6:12 I see that detail. god these are good. A tiny little turret traverse so that it's properly covering the hallway is excellent. most would just have it slide into place. 7:55 I like this detail. The vehicle skids into place to block incoming fire. And those particle effects!
