The biggest difference is that the AEC is a weapon that requires a strong mage to even use, and those are few and far between. A regular person can't just pick it up and start killing people with it; they can't power it, making it a big, unwieldy club in the case of the hammer and the cannon. And furthermore, those weapons are thus far only in the control of the Bureau, who can govern their use.
Isis is an unaffiliated possible mage who uses magic to cause physical damage using chemicals. A wild card, who is already instinctively mistrusting of the Bureau. The Bureau, as such, cannot control her like they can with Nanoha and Vita and the others. So you tell me who they're going to trust more with such weaponry.

That's why i find questionable the creation and approval of the Raptors, they can be send en masse and also are optimized to wield the AEC units effectively. That go a bit against their "control" policy don't ya think?

The creation was not done by the TSAB, but by a corporation on a world not under TSAB jurisdiction. Not much the TSAB can do about that, really. And the approval is still up in the air, considering the corp is still negotiating with the bureau.
But then again, if they get these things to work on magic, it's really little different from any other device the bureau has. |

Which also implies the possibility of the control being "hacked" out of their hands. To be fair seems to be a good strategy by Vandin Corp./Caledfwich Tech. to make pressure with the rampant Eclipse Drivers in order to force the TSAB into take risks by implementing the Raptors as official weapons.

Don't deny that(in fact it could be a good source for drama, sadly it goes unexploited), still i think an advanced AI is less vulnerable than a brainless computer that only follow orders, that will give enormour power to however manage to get the controls of these things. If the plan includes snatching control of the Raptors from the TSAB at a critical moment, things will get really ugly xDU

Except Devices are still handheld weapons, at best they can manage to get them to become small threats by shooting without orders, self-destroying or jamming, but the Raptors are fully functional able-bodied units, thus they can be far more dangerous than any rogue Device by virtue of beuing able to interact efficiently with their surroundings(even using other weapons and devices themselves). It's like comparing a rogue body-less gun with a rogue human-shaped clone, the clone is much more dangerous just because of his human shape.

You are severely downgrading the effect of having all your troops in the field be virtually defenseless, disabled, shooting at each other or even dead if the hacker decides massive overload sounds like the fun thing to do.
Yes, with hacking you suddenly have a bunch of allies turning into enemies, which will outright ruin whatever plan you had, but the guys who used to control them will still be alive and in a position to counter the hacking. Get your main source of offense, defense and utility hacked in the field? Not so much luck. Your plan still gets ruined. They both have their own ups and downs. |

Not terribly much, given the edits made by the DVD--there, it was just how the Devices were designed--a gauntlet and two roller blades. The edits made it so that Mach Calibur used Wing Road to move its kicks and movements for Subaru.

Hacked devices are indeed a threat(and a soulbreaking torture to sentinent ones) but hacked humanoid androids are a much more extreme danger.
