Well, your current mechanical units are all named after various reptiles, right? If you really run out of ideas, you can just assemble a numbered list of names and roll dice to pick the winner.

Garial, maybe? Python? There's a load of them out there, go wild.

He should make a unit called the Medusa if that's true.

The mechanical units are all reptiles, except for the Oppressor.

Of course, we're not counting the Turret, but nobody really pays attention to the Turret.

EDIT: I've got it!

Goanna. Those things are dangerous, scrappy little bastards that are pretty cool looking too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goanna

If that doesn't work for you, then there's:
Gecko
Skink
Chameleon
Iguana
Matamata
Caiman

Gharials are awesome too:

You could give the gun a thin barrel with a big flash suppressor at the end of it to make it look like the knob at the end of the Gharial's snout.

As for weapons... Well, let's look at what Kloveska has as far as current weapons.

Hmm... Lots of explodey things, and NO energy weapons whatsoever. You could edit the explodey thing on the back of the new unit's back to be a big, dangerous (glowing?)power cell that has the same weakness as the ammo drum, and it would be effective in conveying that the Kloveskans don't have compact energy technology and that's why it's not seen elsewhere.

I'm thinking something of the same color as the jetpack exhaust, but not glowy spheres and instead a solid and instant beam.
You could draw attention to the energy cell by making it spark a little bit when the new unit fires.

...Wow, I always make huge post in people's mods with all sorts of ideas. Maybe I need to get to learning to code!

Welp, I'm sold, name's is Caiman and it has a big deadly energy weapon.
A flamethrower really doesn't suit idea I had for it when I was spriting it. I want it to be like a tank for KMF, commonly used when the shear firepower of the Oppressor isn't necessary/is overkill. A heavy single shot cannon that can bust nearly anything open.

Also, it possible to add multiple guns on a single turret/multiple turrets on an ACrab?

Nah, just that one turret. Make the main cannon be worthy and satisfying enough on this tank and you wont need anything else. (Unless you want the mag of that weapon be exploited to make a mine layer or a shield deployer or such)

God damn it. ACrabs don't work well at all on larger scales. It's wobbly and trips after ever other step.
I'm going to have to postpone work on this until Data or someone figures a way to make them more stable.
I apologize that I hyped it up and ended that sort of let down.

I suppose I'll move on to respriting some of the older actors. Not sure where I should begin though.

There was a jeep a little while back whose legs, which were sprited as wheels, I simply made them blank and it looked like it hovered. It worked pretty well.

I personally think crabs are stupid.

They're a cool proof of concept but really they just come out showing the limitations of the CC engine. They don't work with jetpacks at all, they are trying to be tanks but are much too fragile by nature, and it just seems like a stopgap measure for until Data figures out how to make a real tank or something similar.

In that case you'll be waiting for looong time. The crabs are not low priority on Data's list.

As for the old actors, all you need is do some shading on them so they'd look less flat. And if you can see how to add some extra detail even on a tiny scale, do it. Experiment to see how small details work. Study pictures from the net if you need example what kind of details you can add to your creations.
