And all on account of you bein' scared. Scared'a offendin' the humans. Scared'a gettin' in the middle. Of gettin' involved. Which is funny, since I thought playin' dress-up in the spandex was all about us gettin' involved.

Notes
- The "Mandroid" armor shown in this issue looks more like a purple and green version of the Guardsmen armor. Whether the two have just merged into one armor now, or if it's a mistake is unclear.
If I count up their percentages, I know they're getting rich, but they haven't taken everything - those paybacks are a &*$%.
