Nidoworks Consolidated Defense ND-M/32.C
Easily the most produced of Nidoworks ND-series of mecha, the ND-M/32 is a flexible scouting and light-duty combat platform. The Type C configuration (pictured above) is specialized for strike-and-fade attacks, able to mount 9 ATGMs of varying sizes. Further armed with a pair of autocannons (one in the maw, one on the rearmost spine) and equipped with a bevy of defensive countermeasures including chaff-smoke, ECM and a CIWS, it's go-to tactic is to spot an enemy from concealment, fire a flurry of missiles and then evacuate to reload before it can be crushed by larger machines.

Other notable variants of the ND-M/32 include:
A - Armed with a heavy autocannon and recoilless rifles
B - Armed with rotary mortars
D - Minelayer + combat engineering variant
S - Space-type overhaul, armed with directed energy weapons and equipped with vernier thrusters. Assigned to 6th Battalion only.

The pictured unit is assigned to Nidoworks 4th Armored Battalion "Queen's Guard."

A commission for the ever-wonderful  Patashu, who gave me creative control over this! I'm hoping some day to draw the entire series of Nidoworks mecha (my newest silly hyperfixation).
