It was at the time noted that Anzus was the fastest mech available, an if the pure speed could be harnessed for propulsion it could get the Apatron a decent speed.
The way to do this was a long conveyor belt which could be raised up to 32 degrees. Now, the original idea had 1 belt near each leg, but the finished design have one long belt running the entire length of the apotron. The drawbacks are as follows; 1: The belt can not be raised more than 21 degrees, so the original + 11 speed is reduced to +8, 2: There is not a rail on the sides to keep the Anzus on the track, so when traveling at any kind of sloping terrain the anzus tend to fall off the track, 3: Even when driving at level surfaces 1 falling Anzu will start an avalanche and all will hit the back wall at terrifying speed.
The good part is that the slightly uneven energy delivery gives a fluctuation to laser frequency that actually improves the power output. 1712 ferrite and 1298 bioptics is not to steep a price to pay, but the 65 Crystals might seem a bit much considering the drawbacks.
