#morphing technology

[sarifel-corrisafid-ilxhel]

Mellini, an Andalite researcher and friend of Sarifel's, has enlisted his help in testing an experimental morphing technology that Mellini has been working on. Sarifel is not too sure about this idea, but it's a little late to back out now.

This feels like another Chee Plot hole.

why in the world would you create this kind of versatile tech and not use it to its fullest capacity?? Andalites are so proud and protective of the morphing tech and they don't even use it?

what about in battle? I get the pride and training of tail blade combat but there is so much more out there! why not train with a combat morphs so you essentially have 2 lives on the battle field? you get a mortal injury in morph and then poof! all better and ready to go! (like a dnd druid)

you're in a war guys! what are you doing using morphing almost exclusively for spying??

but i could probably go on a tangent to start listing all kinds of other uses for morphing in war so. basically wtf. forget the Leeran front, actually using your own tech with more versatility could turn the tide of the war on its own. hell, go all Visser 3 on them and morph some fuck-off giant dragon type thing and take out swaths of them idk. easier than a quantum bomb or whatever.

amateurs i swear smh. Maybe this gets explained/explored more in other books idk i haven't read farther than book 18 so far but rn...wild. just wild.
