The Locust is a small, fast and highly manoverable attack mecha. Dr.Emile Lang small, but growing, population of loyal Zentraedi to have a familier mecha at their disposal.Keeping with the same basic principles of movement and speed, without having to scrifice firepower and with the addition of armor and a reinforced crew compartent, unlike the Battle pods of old, the Locust was born. 
Although the Locust may not have the armor or armorments of its Destroid brothers, its speed and agility certainly help to close that gap.
