>>5248467I know they are a thing but they are so godamn goofy!!! And an easy target. Removing the torso altogether reduces the profile of the vehicle.
Well... hmm, how about the MEC from x-com? the off-duty suit is pretty much a torso with limbs and when it's time to fight the get into an absurdly-sized Kataphron?
I can't think on a good improvement over the already awesome servitor. "they shoot better because they are space marines" doesn't sound right. Maybe there is a heavy weapons squad that has a kataphron as the leader (sergeant¿?) and is flanked by 6-8 marines armed to the teeth. Not that they have a mouth at all but, you get me
