Sensible enough. If you're a mass of brain tissue and crawly tendrils that skipped most of the tech tree, bastardly complex multi-jointed stilts makes more sense than trying to mimic antigrav-supplanted ineffectual crawling, or using pure antigrav, which I don't imagine makes for a stable firing platform as far as holding a zero with large weapons goes. Again, opposite to the Claw approach for a similar heavy assault class vehicle, who instead slapped together a superheavy quadruple-tracked vehicle with low-output antigrav (compared to gravitic hovercraft, at least) to fiddle with its ground pressure on the fly. I imagine the Claw ditched three legs for six simply to get a more or at least par stable firing platform with simpler individual leg design.

Is that a go on having/hinting at the two having the same precursor-shapers, then? Just want to clarify, don't want to dicker around with ambiguity or jump the gun.
