Dreadnought Self Defence System

[Spartan Warlord]

i was watching the old guyver episode where sho killed his father (Enzyme II) and had a thought....even tho sho refused to fight back after going into self defence mode the guyver ignored the wishes of the host and kicked ass soooooo....if dreadnought was damaged enough to go into self defence mode is there a possibility the matrix could augment jasons dna to give it the power needed to defeat it opponent??

[Armageddon]

Doubt it. Jason's unit is far more advanced then the standard unit Sho is using. I would believe the self defense mode uses a friend or foe mode with Jason's previous memories or the standard 'no threatening movements' that the standard unit type uses. With that in mind, why would the Matrix attached to his unit do anything to his DNA? I would believe it'd focus on repairing the unit or the host first, so he could come out of self defense and get back to the fight.

I could be wrong about that as looking in his DF, I didn't find anything about the self defense mode. Add in the Matrix's unpredictable nature and there is a possibility of DNA augmentation, but I doubt it. Especially since in most circumstances, it'd have to be at Jason's will and it's been said he wants to stay human. Maybe James or Sully will drop in and elaborate on this.

If Dreadnought switches into a self-defense mode like other Guyvers do then I imagine he'd be the last person you'd want to be near if his brain was suddenly taken out and his unit took over...A "normal" guyver in self-defense mode is bad enough, something like Dreadnought that rivals a Master Zoalord in strength would be like a force of nature unleashed!

However, its been a while since I read the Dreadnought data file in detail so for all I know Dreadnought may possess some special friend or foe system that enables it to tell the difference between enemy forces and friends of the unit's host (can't say for certain). But yeah, if Dreadnought did have a self-defense mode and didn't have a way of distinguishing friendlies from hostiles, then it would plow its way through any conceivable threat by any means available to it just as any other guyver would do.

Well he does have a SDM, as all base warrior units do and it utilizes the friend or foe system so that they don't just revert to base instinct of the unit to protect the host and itself at all costs. If it did, it would destroy anything perceived as a threat.

If in Sho's position more than likely when Jason realized that the emerging zoanoid was someone close to him he would have refrained from attacking and then after he got his brain bashed by the zoanoid (if that can even happen to a warrior unit, unless its an uber powerful laser beam) because his unit is more advanced like Armageddon said, more than likely it would just go on the defensive until the host can recover. It would read Jason's mind when it was last intact and see the fact that he didn't want to attack so it wouldn't attack either.

As for the matrix augmenting Jason, that wouldn't happen, Jason's will power is strong in that he absolutely refuses to be anything more than what the guyver and matrix enhancements already make him. He doesn't want his physical body to change as to him he would be less than human, as he hates chronos that much. The matrix responds to willpower and since it is attached to his control medal it pretty much is a 'slave' to the unit and it's host will. The only way i see it acting on its own to either upgrade the host or the unit in response to something is if the control medal had received massive damage that knocked out most of its systems and it was all but unrecoverable and the matrix only had enough power to save Jason by further augmenting him somehow.

So theoretically speaking if Jason ever went off the deep end or felt an extreme need to increase his power the Matrix could either upgrade his unit or alter his body to do exactly that? Wild. And yeah, now I remember the friend and foe system, I wonder if the Acears, Kavzars, Assassin Guyvers like Isis, and Tonnin possess friend or foe systems as well?

I don't really want to comment on this as fan-fic wise none of the Warrior Guyvers never really was put in that situation. So even in the fan-fic everyone would be talking about theory on how a human Warrior Guyver type would react in self defence mode. It should in "theory" not kill a friend unless the friend was doing something stupid like seeing if he could attack his buddy that had no brain....

The Dreadnought C-Medal is more advanced and as you said is Matrix enchanced. But now that basically it's absorbed into Jason's control medal it's main fuction is just that, controling and keeping in check his Unit. If Dreadnought was in self defence mode the above wouldn't change much. The main differance is that Dreadnought's regen is huge, so he'd not be in self defence mode for very long IF at all possibly Again it's not happened in the fan-fic so don't take this post as cannon what will or would happen in the fan-fic. :

thanks for clearing that up...

Yep, thanks Sully
