The shoulder scar is important on Neo because its where guy-whos-name-i-cant-remember-but-pilots-Providence shoots Mwu during the last few episodes of SEED. Although i'm probably looking at it too deeply and its just a random scar. ^^;; The new 'Super' Freedom seems to have lost the shoulder cannons and now has an extra rifle and a chest cannon to replace them, so the alpha strike is still possible. It also seems to have a light shield thing, which is only noticable in the intro for a moment, right before the missles explode. The new Justice (as also seen in the intro, twice) seems cool, but I'm wondering if its foreshadowing Athrun's self-destruction of Saviour? =P
