Description The Hana specialized Variable Interceptor, based off of the Fighter and GERWALK forms of the Hana Interceptor.  Aside from the bright red colouring, the major differences with the human specialized CFA-125 is a slightly more rounded profile to the legs, clawed feet, a traditional Hana head and sensor cluster, and an armoured cockpit that is already sunk inside the fuselage (what happens when the CFA-125 transforms to Battroid).

Due to the heavy use of cybernetics among the Hana, they use this nimble fighter's manoeuvrability to the utmost, and it is one of the most manoeuvrable of the 2nd generation CFs - much more so than the CFA-125, which uses inertia dampening on the pilot.

Armaments:
2x large dorsal beam guns (become hip blasters in Battroid)
2x multi-barrel head/nose light beam guns
2x arm medium-beam guns
4x internal micro-missile launchers (legs)
optional equipment: hardpoint mounted missiles and gun pods, ventral FAST Packs.


Design notes:
The concept behind this was to make my version of the Variable Guraaji (that is, making a non-transformable (or semi-transformable in this case) enemy mecha into a Variable Fighter).  Somehow, I ended up emulating the Chengdu J-20 in the design process (that's more apparent on the CFA-125).

I'm quite satisfied with the result, as I both achieved the concept, and ended up with a fairly easy to draw secondary/background CF.
