Anticipating being fired upon, Kuroda boosted to the side as soon as it looked like the red Gundam was turning its rifle in his direction, trying to outrun the other pilot's aim. If it turned out he wasn't fast enough to evade, even with his overclocked boosters, he would switch and put all of the energy back into his composite armor, creating a thin energy shield effect that would absorb most of the rounds fired on him, but also leave him sitting like a turtle. If he succeeded in just avoiding the shots, though, he would start moving in again as soon as there was an opening and trying to disarm the rifle from the other Gundam with his lance.
