Can someone give me a huskybot prompt or question? I wanna keep fleshing myself out, and I come up with my best ideas when someone asks me something I haven't considered yet!
@ElectricKeet Depends on which generation of which platform we're talking about! Some of them had high-res vari-chromatics baked into the exterior plating, so that they could be any color or pattern on a whim. But with advancements in plate fabrication, KA goes the simpler route of on-demand color changes, printing new plates to fit new designs as needed. Generic plates are stored for re-use, while unwanted custom ones are recycled for materials.
Currently, most platforms have a standard single color, with either a contrasting or complimenting color as accents on either the edges of each plate or just as needed for individualism.
All platforms have component servicing markings and hazard markings as needed ("Caution: Hot" around jet vents and radiator vanes, hoist points and cable attachment points are also called out. Edges around joints are called out as pinch points.
Platforms that work together often will coordinate their color schemes for rapid identification and solidarity. Packs within packs.

How do huskybots look?
