'Mech size: Both 'Mechs are large, but the Highlander IIC appears to have packed on the pounds a little more than the Kodiak, so the Kodiak wins here by a hair.
Hardpoint placement: The hardpoints are all over the place on the Highlander, literally - they are shared across both arms and side torsos, and split by type as well. Kodiak wins again with its shield arms and packed in, high mounted weapons.
Hardpoint count: Highlander is the obvious winner with the extra ballistic slot.
Agility: The Kodiak equips a Masc IV allowing it to sprint up to about 80kph and torso twist in a brawl like a boss, however the Highlander is able to equip jump jets allowing it to reposition and hop over small obstacles, and to use its legs at point blank range as a shield. I'm not sure which the better choice is here.
What do you guys think, which is the better 'Mech in your opinion?
