OK, so I'm having a bit of trouble with the arsenal vehicle mod rules. Specifically, I can make a better combat walker than a tomino, cheaper, out of a westwind eurocar.

Specifically, I take the walker option, and add 2 mechanical arms. The resultant vehicle has a much greater top speed, same body, higher handling, and can seat 2. It's that last one that really gets me.

I've done some pouring over the rules, but I can't find anything clear-cut. What separates a walkier with mechanical arms from an anthroform drone? Is the Westwind Robot really workable?
