Designing a training mech was a must. It fit the concept of growth mechs too well.
On top of that, the training mechs that Ves had designed in the past already showed that they were highly compatible with his design philosophy.
A training mech model that aligned with his new direction would definitely provide a lot of value to the market. Ves almost decided to keep it in the clan if not for its growing need for money!
However, just because Ves believed that his training mech had the potential to become a revolutionary new product didn't mean that it could achieve commercial success!
He had to overcome the inertia in the mech market in order to sell enough mechs.
