Here's a question: Why? Both of the machines these are supposedly based on are outdated, have poor combat records, or both, so why mentioning the fact that these look like Kody Kunz-bots?

I am willing to admit however, that the two-sided slotted drum was inspired by Laertes: nothing more.

EDIT: Scratch that. I'll retire Destructophobic early. If Kody's original design didn't work out, then this one won't.
