Thanks for your patronage ^ ^

I was thinking about cosmic/conceptual entities in this case, that wield tremendously high abilities. These would likely be able to oneshot Selforge Soldiers in most of their modes, until they shift to the Conceptual one.

It was mostly an "assuming direct control" Harbinger reference from Mass Effect 2, with an even more overwhelming threat looming behind the already terrifying Selforge Soldiers, like each of them was some living Pandora Box that may suddenly slam open at any moment.

Truth be told, this feature is more about coolness and style than actual necessity, much like Selforge Soldiers themselves, since Lawrence could directly obliterate any opposition with a literal wave of the hand, scattering imperceptible Materium particles all over the battleffield, and insta-nuking them all into oblivion with a million different world-ending custom attacks.

The main reason that comes to mind would be if the opposition is particularly massive or persistent, with Lawrence possessing one of the of Soldiers to make a personal example.
