>Why wont the robots put superior hovercraft weapons on light vehicles?
Weight issues perhaps?
>Why not give thugs a heavy machine gun?
Assuming it's a plasma machine gun it may create too much interference with shield technology
>Why doesnt the glaive try using the bandit's longer range weapon?
Maybe he likes a higher damage gun
>Why doesnt the warrior fire both weapons at once?
Keep up saturation fire as the would doubtlessly overheat
>Why not put the outlaw's weapon on a sumo? or a panther?
Either A) the weapon would bounce around in the sumo like sound in a glass house or B) too heavy
>Why not a stilleto lightning gun for the black dawn?
As awesome as that would be it would drain too much power from the engines
>Why not give venoms jumpjets?
Difficult to attach to articulated legs whilst still allowing it to control flight
>Why not surfboard jumpjets?
No point really, but generally firing thrusters into water is not as effective as ground.
>Stealth lichos?
Freaking awesome but the stealth tech would take away from armor or carrying capacity
>Shielded pillagers?
Would make it power intensive which isn't desired for artillery
>Chainsaw sumos?
"It's just, I have a big head and little arms; I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought out"
>Wolverines that shoot scuttles?
Sounds expensive and like it would break the wolverine's cannon through recoil.
As to the main argument, I think that designing our own units would just make things a mess as everyone has to deal with so many units that there will essentially be no clear cut counter system.
