Before Jim could reach the target, the mech grabbed a short stick and activated it. The short stick expanded into a long spear that the robot swung at him in one smooth motion as it turned.

He also didn't expect that the enemy hadn't been decieved into thinking he had escaped. Clearly, the man or the mech had been prepared for his ambush.
