One of the greatest advantages of humanoid mechs was that they could change their external equipment with minimal fuss.
It was not an advantage that the Larkinson Clan utilized often. Ves designed most of his mechs with a singular purpose in mind where they only had to do great in their own intended roles.
There was nothing wrong with this approach, but the emergence of mechs such as the latest generation of Bright Warriors showed that there was still a huge amount of value in providing more choice of loadouts.
From a mech designer's perspective, the ability for humanoid mechs to utilize their limbs to grab any pieces of equipment they could was the oldest modular mech system in existence.
The modular connection system was virtually universal, allowing for any mech to pick up any weapon or gear no matter whether their purposes matched.
A rifleman mech could theoretically hold a tower shield while a swordsman mech could wield a cannon.
