Explanation:
The missile is coming at Torque from behind of him. Normally, missiles
move fast enough that a cybug doesn't have time to turn to the side and
move out of the way. Torque uses the tactic of laying a mine behind him
to take the brunt of the impact. This means that he still receives some
damage, but it is less severe.
If it is not possible to lay the mine, then he tries to turn out of
the way.
