Roman's paladin and the final version are actually pretty similar. the main difference being the addition of an external shell, and streamlining of the outer components.

There's also the fancy model that the entire student group fought in the courtyard, which is just more heavily armored.

Beauty and efficiency do not go hand in hand, but streamlining is a vital part of improving technology. smoother design means less bulk and lighter weight, as well as having more freedom of movement.

There haven't been references to Vale's army, except the historical one. If Vale had a standing army, they would have had a presence during the Battle of Beacon. From what has been shown, Atlas is the only kingdom with a standing military force, while the other kingdoms seem to rely on local law enforcement and huntsman to protect their borders.

Using slaves in the military is one thing, handing them control of an extremely advanced war machine is another, especially if they are the most skilled user of said war machine.

Imagine if you were to take a poorly treated slave from americas colonial era, train them to use a sherman tank, and then put them alongside their master in a combat scenario where everyone else has muskets.

the first thing that guy is going to do is blow up the asshole who whipped him.
