Why use his precious, expensive weapon to do so? Why didn't he use the White Fang to back him up? Why did he run towards them instead of shooting them with the giant fuck-off rockets attached to his mech suit? Look at how the body and arms are swinging while the mech is at a full run the long range armaments the Paladin had where bouncing around too much for Roman to feel confident in them being effective to use in such a situation. At a full run it would not have been possible for it to stop quickly enough do to its for it avoid Weiss's ice patch.



I do think that the Paladin was not ever intended to fight with out direct support of some sort of infantry as it dos not seem to have any true close range anti-personal weapons. Roman may not have really understood that in the episode.
