Is it just me or do Mercury's prosthetics look rather... Outdated compared to the prosthetics of James Ironwood and Yang Xiao Long? I mean, Yang's arm looks far more sleek, light and human than Mercury's legs do! If anything, Mercury's legs look bulky, heavy and not human-like at all! Not to mention Yang's robotic arm also came equipped with a gun to emulate the shock generated by Ember Celica but Yang's prosthetics seem to not fire Wind Dust but rather blasts of compressed air.

My point for mentioning this is that... What if Mercury's prosthetics, while effective in battle, are nowhere near as advanced as Yang's robotic arm? Like, there is literally a massive black cable on Mercury's legs while Yang's arm is extremely modern-looking! Could it be that maybe those legs aren't really as good as we've been lead to believe? I mean sure! Having robot legs is both cool and sad and while they do enhance Mercury's combat abilities, I don't think both of his prosthetic limbs can (from a technological point of view) outperform Yang's arm or come close to her arm's technology. Taiyang did say Yang's arm was of cutting-edge technology, the latest Atlas has developed, after all.
