Voted "B", it is the only way!
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
I chose A because it has less dork than B. Yeah... it's the rings. I'd pick B if not for them.
Edit:
I forgot to say that I really hope they have the same tech as the rocket boots do so that when you activate a flight power some sort of thrust appears and when you deactivate the flight power the thrust deactivates as well. Otherwise I will kind of be disappointed.

If you seriously managed to replicate the appearance of this device then any argument you might have against being able to give us other vehicles like motorcycles will make absolutely no sense. |
Superheroes don't have to give a crap about physics though, so it'd work just as well scaled down to half (or less) of the actual size.

What kind of retro sci-fi fan thinks rings=dork? What planet are you from? Nofunlandia?!?
voted B cause well can you say rocketeer? knew you could
OTOH I'd change my vote to A if those pods sucked in and 'stowed' next to the body when you were not flying, and extended out and started thrusting when flying or hovering.. that would totally sell me on that design
Choose B. Would be awesome if the rings had like electricity running across them like tesla coil-ish... cant wait
How about a rocket with a saddle we can ride on the back of instead of a rocket that rides on our back?

That'd be in the ACME pack, not the retro sci-fi pack |

Gah, A and B are both great ... but since I have to choose 1, I'll say "B" by a narrow margin.
Pssst - make both!

I agree, partly because I like them all and partly because I want to go around saying "Rocket Pack Pack." This time around, I voted for A because it looked slightly more versatile than B, but I very nearly clicked B instead.|

(Incidentally, if the devs were somehow able to come up with a way to select different MM henchmen really fast and released Beastly Mastery around the same time, they could release a Pack Pack. If a new buff set were introduced to allow costume details, such as rucksacks, on the animal henchmen, they could create a Pack Pack Pack.)

All three would be great, but I prefer B (it was a really tough toss up between A and B).
hard to choose 1.
can we have all?

I like A & B, but I guess if I had to choose, I'd say B.
The retro-rings are nice on B, but A seems to have less "ow I'm burning my legs" risk

OMG, could you imagine if the rocket pack actually looked like the saucer section and nacelles from the Enterprise, and your body was that middle part!!!!!!!

Rocket Pack Pack sound like the best option here.
