The SAFS Achilles were designed to work as a team. They are both
up-armoured SAFS, with special emphasis on armouring for the legs. The
Achilles A was essentially just a standard SAFS with additional leg
armouring and special explosive detection sensors. The Achilles B
however, was unarmed and had two long manipulator arms. The Achilles B
was an engineering unit, and the arms were designed to allow it to
defuse explosives at a slight distance. It had stronger front armour
than even the Achilles A, but then it was designed to be at the
receiving end if any of the explosives detonated prematurely. Its other
main role was in demolition work.
