[Tournament - The Boonta Gauntlet - Mechanic Menace][AE] M8-R1X

I wanted to try a droid focused on the idea that droids aren't bound by biological constraints on body shape, and instead can have a scary arrangement of brains and weapons that is decentralised, resilient, and hard to fight. If you take out one node, some functional weapons can relocate to another node and keep on fighting. It's hard to corner or flank it because it can easily rearrange itself quickly, as well as maintaining multi-directional sensors. The build is a bit hard to perceive, which is actually part of the appeal I think - for its opponents, it's confusing to understand which way it's "facing" or how it might strike next.
