The Clan disdain for both artillery and combat vehicles led the Huitzilopochtli to be built around an [[internal combustion engine]], which can only propel it to 32 km/h. It is so slow that it is often moved by [[DropShip]], prompting a questioning of what its designers considered "mobile artillery." Designers also skimped on armor protection, with a mere five and a half tons considered adequate for a unit that should be kilometers away from the battle.
