I'm quite happy with the way Blue Team looks. I have my gripes, like the coloring - why not just make them all green? Fred's armor has some unnecessary handles/rails/tubes that things would just stick into. Kelly looks too squashed when she should be tall and lean like an Olympic runner. Overall, despite Linda's tacticool scopes I find her armor the most evenly proportioned of the S-IIs. All of them are still better than Team Locke though.
