With the new roadmap being released, a lot of people are talking about what was revealed. However, I feel like the SPI-like armor that was hinted at hasn’t been discussed as much as other topics, and as the title says, it looks… off.
First of all, the helmet. It looks nothing like Mirage, I posted an image of Kurt from GoO, and as you can see it’s supposed to be smooth and have 2 “dents” on the sides. Yet in Infinite it has a very sharp angle on it, no dents, and strange circular ears (the vents don’t even match up), It’s clearly a different helmet, and I hope this isn’t Mirage, but just the default helmet much like Cavallino on the Mark VII core. I desperately hope that the classic Mirage helmet is in the Battle Pass, I feel like MCC’s model for the Mirage Helmet was pretty spot on, and would love to see it again or a more accurately depicted SPI helmet that Kurt here is wearing. (The shoulders aren’t accurate either, but I’m sure the one Kurt’s wearing will also appear in the BP too).
However, my biggest issue are the straps that connect to the chest. the 3rd pic is our main man Kurt again and you can see how the straps should look, they come from underneath the “clavicle armor” and extend to circular pads (not sure what to call them), this is done to cover the obvious weakness. Infinite’s doesn’t do this and lacks the pads, making it way more exposed. If this is supposed to be a Mjolnir version of SPI, then why does it look so rudimentary? SPI looks more advanced and protective than this. This might be the copium talking, but I hope this is the WIP and not the final look.
Any thoughts or am I just a crazy lore fan rambling to himself?
