Great work, good use of the helmet even if the plot element seems out of place. And the last bubble seems a bit contrived and cliched, like a really, really bad one liner… In MY opinion anyway.
Well, like Snow said, it's like you had to do and it looks out of place, simply because it's not a common feature. However, I think it's a cool use of it. When I mean it looks out of place, it's doesn't really convey the message of an AI transferring into RC's suit, but rather a way to convey a bad one-liner.
I think Snow and I are getting a bit over-critical of your work here Jim :p But the reason it looks out of place is the fact that you needed to find a reason, rather than find a scene to fulfill a reason.
For a moment there I was like "WOAH Bungie gave Jim fire!". Then I read the comments. Lol, I didn't even play Halo on Bungie day…sigh
Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing what's up with this Barcode dude.
I don't really sign on much anymore, but I saw potential for storytelling elements there when they announced it on the Bungie Comm Chatter section. It actually fit what I'm doing with this part of the story.
OMG!!! It took me a while to realise that the speaker in the last panel was another AI! I thought it was RC, but now I know that the last speaker is called Barcode, everything makes sense!!
Awesome use of the Bungie Day special gift!
Thanks! I had fun with it while it lasted.
AND an explosion! It's like a dream come true
And the Reclaimer's on fire! It's WIN-WIN-WIN!
Btw, 4th panel, is that a typo? "static electricity crawling [up/through] your armor"?
Nope. Any preposition is implied there.

I'm curious. Why do you think it seems out of place?
I agree. It feels really forced, like you just had to do it because of Bungie Day. And it also looks stupid.
But it's still cool none the less.
Ok, which is it? Stupid or cool? Cuz you can't have it both ways.

Thank you Doobz.
Cool and Stupid aren't mutually exclusive Jimbo.
I mean, look at me! I'm both.
Bungie day special gift? DANGIT WHAT DID I MISS THIS TIME!?
That last line should be a T-Shirt.
I think it'd lose something without the context.
I think that's half the point.
Oooh, the meaning could be anything :p
Lol
That pun was almost Stuntmutt worthy. Very nice.
He also gets really fired up on the topic.
He might even consider starting a flame war over it.
It was pretty bad
Hard pressed on thinking up new quotes Jim? Haven't been many that matched "I flew" as of late
Not really. It just seemed like the natural progression here, and I was looking for a good reason to torch our hero.
Exactly why It's out of place.

Sorry Jim
That's what I've been trying to say.
I'm not too poetic.
why is it called barcode?
Reading the transcript will give you a hint.
Other than that, you'll just have to wait.

Its great when you've got something extra to make a story just that little bit better.
Oooooh!! I didn't realise that the person talking in the last wasn't RC!! So it's another AI called Barcode!!
Great use of the flaming headgear! Do have to admit the pun at the end was worth it.
Will there be any more of the 'flaming head' in the next comic? :p
Indeed.
The flaming helmet feels a little bit forced, but cool none the less.

The tail of the balloon is actually pointing at the fire (and it's a different font), not the Reclaimer's head.
How exactly is the fire talking? Spooky.
Twilight zone theme song starts playing
whoooeeeeoooooo!
"Your head is on fire, Reclaimer"
Best line in Reclaimer. Ever. Of all time.
OF ALL TIME!
My initial thought was the fire was ferial…. in some shape or form…
I can just imagine the next shot, either post flamethrower or incendiary grenade
your head is on fire. i like that line lol
