Troll post is full of troll.

When you're working within the physical limitations of a species you ignore the cosmetic in favor of the functional...which is why the first batch of "females" were given male clone bodies.

He doesnGÇÖt speak much, and because of that people assume heGÇÖs stupid. I imagine that in his previous life he must have been a mountain of a man. Cala was... is, a woman. Fiercely patriotic, she had jumped at the chance to be among the first of the RepublicGÇÖs new breed of soldier. Unlike the rest of us, she knew they would put her into a stock male body. They had explained it to her probably in the hopes that it would dissuade her from going through with it. She agreed to the procedure anyway, which, they must have figured, made her just the right kind of crazy for the job. I suppose in some way, we all were.

The only reason why there would be female stock clones would be because there were soldiers who refused to use a male stock clone after the technology went viral. As a result they made sure their stock female clones were feminine while enhancing the bone structure and musculature.

Also, "wildly disproportionate" is a matter of debate.

Sub Urban Hero ZionTCD Legacy Rising 28	Posted - 2012.10.09 21:40:00 - [1] - Quote Is it just me or do they seem disproportionate? I was expecting something more along the lines of Halo's female Spartans (which, for all intents and purposes, are still a bit unbelievable) or something like this. I mean, I know they're supposed to be the peak of physical fitness and maybe I've just seen them at odd angles, but they seem rather oddly proportioned. EDIT I also seem to be getting taken the wrong way for this post- let me clarify that I am not a fan. I don't like it when games try to play to sexuality and I was disappointed when the female avatars looked like somewhat-like supermodels wearing skin-tight armor.

Just narrowing the waist and shoulders doesn't turn a male into a female...

But that wasn't my point. I was trying to point out that I was expecting a more subtle difference. Also, I think that image in particular may be explained by the fact that Spartans are all given the same "super-soldier" treatment- which I won't get into here.

Heavier suits have the same size breasts, but you think they are smaller becuase they are under armor

Why do people think this? Anyway- yeah, I read that, but that supports my idea that if female clones were introduced, they would have to be fairly close to male clones in musculature and bone structure and thus look more similar than they do now. I did however, remove "wildly" disproportionate. But honestly, it's not a very subtle difference.
