Acyl:
It honestly makes me wonder if the entire Chang megacorp isn't just a Hou Bang front organization... And keep in mind that, in my head, Chang is easily one of the 'second tier' transnationals, right beside Gulf&Bradley, Boeing-Lockheed, Wal-Mart, and Disney...
Speaking of which, I wonder what Chang's 'home niche' is?
Griever:
Of course, since the only 'free rotor' choppers I can remember seeing in the OAVs were the Firebees, it'll actually be one of the same fan-lift aerodynes we saw all over the place, but designed for the same role.
I have the sudden image of one of the expansion groups using a Walrus-type airship, but in a place as cramped as Japan there probably wouldn't be that much call for it. Australia or Russia or the US would be more likely, I think.
One of the RPG books includes a design for a hardsuit that folds away into a smallish but otherwise utterly unremarkable motorbike - I figure that all five of the Animals will have one of these so as to have 'heavy backup' near at hand in their civilian lives, since the overall Sabers operation doesn't have Genom Osaka's security branch penetrated to nearly the same degree as they do Megatokyo's.

...well, the word "Triad" is used, but the more common reference is "secret society".

Quote:I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a chopper being used for cargo, but... what about one of those hospital medevac types?
Those tend to be on the small side, though. Unless '35 news agencies are using larger ones than the trend of today is, I don't know if you'd be able to fit in five suits, and if you would, you'd be sacrificing any possibility of the team having enough space there to get out of the suits and, say, administer some emergency medical treatment to potential wounded. Rather, say, converted transport chopper of some sort would work better. There's plenty of those flitting around as well.

Quote:Yes, sorta. I figure on one heavy motoslave variant - possibly completely redesigned, so as to turn into something four-wheeled and inconspicous, rather than an obscenely huge motorcycle, but based off the same tech - for the heavy firepower role, and...
Motoslaves, yesno?
