Its primary optic, already glowing a steady crimson, intensified.

Its massive hydraulic limbs shifted, emitting a low, guttural groan as they prepared for deployment. The newly installed rotary plasma cannon and heavy missile launcher swiveled on their mounts, clicking into an armed and ready position, awaiting their pilot's direct command.
