And yes Trans-AM probably can be turned off because Setsuna turned it off after his fight against Alejandro without using too many of the particles.
As for whether it can be turned on and off consistently, I hope yes, but for the sake of there being a weakness to the gundams…probably not. Otherwise they could simply turn it on to zoom to an area within the enemies’ blindzones, turn it off to save particles, and fire.
]]>Watching Arios in this ep it seems either: 1)Trans-am can be deactivated mid-cycle (guess that come in useful) 2)Arios’s Trans-am only lasts for about 5 seconds at most (damaged solar furnace or something?) or 3)maybe activation time is severely decreased underwater….? Hopefully its the first explanation… then again why would he stop trans am right BEFORE going into battle and get his @$$ kicked by Soma (or does he secretly like getting shot by her…?)
Why do i enjoy overanalysing fictional technology…?
This pointless bit of text was brought to you by a guy who found no better way to get it out of his system…
I’d like to back the first one, but then they’d have to explain why they didn’t just shut off Trans-Am before their solar furnaces were depleted and they had to run on low-power those few times it happened in Season 1. That way it’s simply an extra boost item rather than a double edged sword which bounces back and slashes you in the shoulder.
;/ Really though, who knows?
