Check out the original design here: http://ravenrepublic.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=848
EYE3
UA
A72F
94A2
F73H
GULL
LOTUS
ANANDA
MEDUSA2
FUNI
MV
SPARTOI
93RL
BP
Mini Halimaw. More of a higher speed variant than a refinement in the design. Surprisingly shell defense remains the same while getting close to a 50kph speed boost. EN defense takes a hit, but can be partially remedied by fully tuning EN defense.
Backmounts are limited by the leg weight cap, so I had to choose missile sets that would create offensive and defensive playstyles. In the spirit of stand-off range missiles. the SPARTOI + FUNI replaces the HYDRA + GAR for long range attacks. The KARURA gets replaced by the MV in a tactical shift from the original thanks to the extra 50kph speed boost. The extra speed allows the AC to do offensive runs only possible with the original when the backmounts are dropped. Thus the MV helps in herding opponents at an appropriate range. Same reason why the F73H replaces the VOLUTE for better horizontal tracking for the offensive run. Again, drop either MV or SPARTOI + FUNI to get into combat weight.
Sort of looks like the original too. If only I had a pic to show, but for now just look at the original in the link above and imagine it with slightly smaller arms and legs. :p
