The Steelwing Project and the Mauler Project put Ves into a dilemma.
He could see the logic behind this pair of bestial mechs. Alone, they were powerful when they were in their element.
The avian mech of the pair excelled in battles where it had plenty of room to perform its attack runs. Just like lancer mechs, it excelled at building up momentum in order to deliver a strong impact on a less mobile target. While the Steelwing Project had to take care not to build up too much speed and crash itself against solid surfaces, it was an excellent mech for tearing apart lighter and weaker mechs, particularly those with ranged loadouts!
The tiger mech on the other hand was too slow to perform repeated charging attacks. Instead, it was much more suited to fight standing battles where it could take advantage of its superior mechanical bulk and strength.
