The Ki-Rin is a Combine Omni based on the Griffin chassis. It features a 275XL engine, 11 DHS and 9.5 tons of ferro-fibrous armor. Among the initial batch of five variants, the same basic features are present, energy-based weapons in the arms and ammo-dependent weapon in the right torso. In latter configurations there is some deviation from this standard

The Ichi configuration based upon the Griffin-1S, but sees the Large Laser switched out for an ER model and the LRM upsized to an LRM-20 and fitted with an Artemis IV FCS. Two medium pulse lasers provide adequate short-range secondary fire power

The next configuration is truer to the original Griffin as it features an ER PPC in the right arm and Artemis-equipped LRM-15 in the right torso. Like the Ichi before it the Ni excels at long-range combat.

The Yon is the first to feature C3 capability in the form of head-mounted C3 Slave unit. An LB 10-X is mounted in the right torso and is fed by a two-ton ammo bin. A brace of medium pulse lasers and a trio ER medium lasers give the Yon better than adequate firepower.

From this point on are the newer configurations added during the early stages of the Jihad. A Heavy PPC is mounted in the right arm while Light PPC is mounted in the left. An MML-7 is mounted in the right torso and is fed by a three-ton ammo bin. A Flamer and an AMS provide added protection.

The Roku's loadout is reminiscent of the Capellan Jinggau in that it features a Gauss Rifle and four medium lasers as back up. On the Roku the lasers are ER models rather than pulsers. A C3 slave is also mounted.

The Hachi is the model that surrenders its loadout to the whims of those who wish to be true samurai. Designed for close quarters, it features a sword in the left arm and is backed by a torso-mounted plasma rifle and a Snub-nose PPC in the right arm. An MML-5 provides for some flexibility in combat.

Designer Note: I did entertain the idea of a scout variant as well as one with some captured Blakist equipment. In the end, I kept them out of the design.
-
I really like it a decent medium platform
I'd probably drop a laser or two from the San and Yon configurations for additional heat sinks
-
Lack of f specific crit space is the issue with both configurations, If I drop a laser or two on the Yon, then run into the issue of being oversinked. On the San there's just critsin the right spaces.
I have changed the San to a pulse boat/brawler/battle armor killer.
I found a way to change the Yon. I removed one ton of ammo and a standard medium laser and added two DHS. The other standard medium was upgraded to an ER model
