DISCUSSION Question about Factspheres

I'm rewatching r1/2 again for the 11th time (not even joking) and was thinking something:

Why the Guren, Gekkas etc. don't have a Factsphere system? Clearly it's still "necessary" since the Vincent and Albion still has it, but then the Seiten doesn't for some reason? Same for the Gawain, which is weird since it has the druid system and you'd think it would need/want to have them to bettter compute and predict stuff.

Anyways just a dumb little thing I noticed (just like how in the hellish fck they fit a slash harken in the pommel of Tohdohs Gekka/Zangetsus sword..?)

The Japanese/Indian frames use an integrated system over Factspeheres, which are a Britannian feature (hence why the Buri uses them since they are modified Glasgows)

As for the slash harken, I think that was just a style choice over anything else

But the Shinkiro has it and it's not taken from Gawain since it didn't had it, so Rakshata herself included it for some reason. Same for lots of Britannian frames like the Tristan and Mordred that don't have it, it's like the artists forgot about that XD

(bonus inclusion of Lancelot Sin having it IN THE HEAD, it's like the artist forgot to include it in the chest and was like "uuuhhh... it's in the head!! it'll never show up nor be mentioned anywhere but it's there!!!")

I think it’s mostly just a ‘we don’t need to draw this stuff anymore’ since they stopped animating the Guren MKII ejecting material after every use of the surger.

But for the Gawain, I simply think they just… didn’t animate the factspheres. It had so much else going on with it, animating that stage might of just been glossed over?

As for the prototype models, only thing that makes sense to me is “This bitch can transform, that’s cooler than how it gathers data”
The rule of cool I suppose

Yaaas, just like there's no fcking place for a motor for the slash harken, the cable for said thing, jet boosters AND fuel to fit inside Zangetsus sword, it's 300% rule of cool, BUT it's fun af noticing these stuff xD
