sorry to add an extra unit but i decided to give it a go..
---------------------------------------------
The Saurus class bestial automech is a PresiDom exclusive design, and a rare one at that. Outwardly it is similar in gross physical form to the Grimdark class Beastmech, but the fauxflesh conceals a very different machine, and one that is arguably more advanced. Which design came first is unknown, and it is likely that even both the Presidential Domains and Barony of Grim do not now know whether the two designs were related, or merely a case convergent design. The Saurus make use of standard mech structure and engines, with slightly inferior protection than the more mechanistic Grimdark class. however the Saurus class is clearly designed more for mobility, with a 300 rated engine and MASC technology giving it greatly increased ground speed in both mech and quad modes. in terms of firepower it is less potent, possessing Tail useable in bestial mode, a single arm mounted Snub PPC with its firing aperture located within robust melee Claw, and a quartet of small lasers, curiously mounted in pairs in its legs. more notable however is the large shield mounted in its opposite arm, which establishes the focus of this automech's weaponry is not in direct assault, as much as self defense, to protect its most valuable tool, five tons of communications equipment by which it coordinates PresiDom units under its command. for the Saurus class of beastmech is seen almost exclusively as a leader type unit, Indeed one unit, calling himself "MechaSaurus" has become recognized as the faction's chief commander after a long career. Devious, Egotistic, with a tendency to almost vaudevillian melodrama, MechaSaurus often takes direct command on the frontlines, frequently leading the PresiDom forces on raids of AxiMaL facilities to steal resources.
