Ark larkinson is an excellent commander and a suitable expert/ace mech like the minerva but for davute based on a hive mind. The soldiers pilot mechs which are all connected battalions increasing cooperation and tactics like insect drones while remaining indepedant. Idea based on the twin souls in this chapter
The concept sounds like the hunter pair lekgolo from the covenant faction of the halo franchise. While the lekgolo is a mass of pair bonded colony of worms, together they are known to be spartan killers with their speed, strength and psychic connection. So in this case teamwork does beat plot armor. Hopefully a military standard model can be mirrored after the halo franchise lekgolo. A shield and energy cannon sounds extremely strong. While it doesn’t seem cost effective to be designed as a mass produced model to be deployed in masse. The original purpose of the lekgolo hunters are to be VIP bodyguard for the prophet, leader units of the covenants. Alternatively, it could be paired with expert pilots to successfully beat other lone expert pilot as an effective and consistent backup without ascension being involved.
