Ves only needed to witness a single battle to understand the characteristics of the Hellcat design.
Even though its design appeared to be a little scattered, in actual fact it prioritized one capability above all others.
"The entire frame is built to deliver a devastating collision attack."
The schematics and material composition prioritized sturdiness and shock resistance. It insured that even if the hybrid knight built up a lot of speed, it wouldn't fall apart as soon as it collided with another mech. Even the shield that looked a little small for a knight hid a surprising amount of resilience.
The additional weapon systems facilitated this mode of combat. They were meant to soften up the enemy and disrupt them from meeting the Hellcats in a prepared formation.
"That's why these Hellcats don't carry much ammunition around. They're only designed to deliver one big whallop before they close in with their shields and sabers."
