>>5415631It wasn't "planned" as it probably never went further than the concept art but around the time of the whole Eisen Dragoon / Liger Zero / Koenig Wolf / Shadow Fox bit of the Battle Story where the motorized kits were basically frames with armor they were being designed with the potential for CAS in mind and smaller kits (like Killer Dome) that could double as weaponry.
It all got dropped in favor of the Blox line, which attempted to fill the same roles.
