It's hardly giant, it's the same size as the commander. The only reason it's an FMC is that there are no rules for flying infantry. And it loses stuff like smash, vector strike, ect so it doesn't have unfair advantages.

I will keep saying it...
They need to create Unit Type: Flying Infantry

I'm sorry, was this aimed at me? I wasn't baiting anyone. It was a genuine question.

With the suit the commander gains FMC type without the benefits. Solo he doesn't put up a lot of firepower (although we don't know what his gun will do, still, he is not a flyrant). As far as we now know, there are no other units he could join besides the drones.

Going out with let's say 10 gun drones makes for an interesting combo, but are the drones themselves flying, how can they be targeted? Can the commander be picked off? He's not a high T monster. Any other flyer should kill him easily. One man AA? I just can't see the potential yet.
