Yes, each legtype gets a bonus and the bipeds get a kneeling shield. The shield only works while kneeling, though I'm unsure if it grants an AC-wide bonus or only a bonus for the front of the AC. I'd assume it only defends the front, though.
Operators can spam a pretty huge AoE scan too right at match start, but they gotta be fast and efficient if they really want to be useful for initiating as you can't let your opponents set up a defense or you're screwed, haha. Some FCS allow for up to four automaton sentries dropped at once right now, along with 2-3 jammers dropped at once. If the whole team defending were to bring that stuff in their hangars and set up defenses along the entry routes to their base then drop you'd be screwed trying to get in, haha. That's why you can't wait too long to initiate the opposing team, really.
Dropper ACs are godly for territory mode. Come in severly overweight, drop what you don't need, kill people.
