Love that the thirdcomm revolution/rebranding worked so well in and out of universe that people straight up forget that the Enkidu and Ghengis Worldkiller are GMS Frames.
Union invented these. HA just kept the specs and iterated on them post revolution.
concept: a mild-mannered salaryman-looking man
he wears a grey suit, thinks paprika is spicy, would prefer it if we could all put the weapons down and discuss this like reasonable adults.
he pilots a Harrison Armories Enkidu. while inside of that mech he becomes a foul-mouthed cackling madman glorying in the bloodshed as much as the most punk-coded horus trans catear-modded razorgirl can be
but on getting out of the Enkidu he just straightens his tie and "feels good to get that out of my system." and is back to the most boring, union-grey person you have seen in your life.
the fact he's a lancer at all is mindboggling.

If we talk about the aesthetics of technology in Lancer, we can divide each of the Big 4 along lines of form and function.
IPS-N: Pure Function
IPS-N cares only what a mech does. It doesn't need to look good or pretty doing it - it only needs to be able to do that thing well. It's notable that the Raleigh, arguably the most form-oriented of the IPS-N frames, is also considered to be the company's biggest commercial failure - they strayed from their core design principles and got punished for it.
Harrison Armory: Form Follows Function
Harrison Armory still leans pretty heavily towards the functionality side of things, but it isn't satisfied with doing a good job alone. Yes, the mechs have to perform well, but they also have to look good doing it. There's no practical application for the Sherman's sleeveless coat or the Tokugawa's dainty little tassels, but they don't hinder combat functionality and they make the mechs look dashing. In comparison to IPS-N's coarse, industrial, almost unfinished look, HA mechs look stern, austere and imposing. There's a smoothness to them that you just don't get on IPS-N frames.
SSC: Function Follows Form
SSC is where we start to plunge into aesthetics-forward mech design. The Death's Head isn't six-legged because it's a sniper - the Death's Head is a sniper because it's six-legged. SSC came up with a mech design and asked: "what would this do best?" A six-legged chassis provided a more stable firing platform for precision weaponry, so that was what it did. Shapes and appearances are invented, and then a use case is discovered for them.
HORUS: Pure Form
It might seem weird to classify HORUS as "pure form" when their mechs largely don't have a consistent visual identity outside of the examples in the book. However, if we look a little deeper at the definition of "form," the explanation becomes clear: in some ways, HORUS is in the business of making statements, not mechs.
For anyone who's actually played a HORUS mech in Lancer, you may have noticed how awkward they are to actually pilot. Their statlines are, on paper, often very poorly suited to the sort of work they have to do. The Gorgon is built to attract attention and draw fire but has no armor. The Manticore is meant to be a front-line fighter but is quite slow. The Minotaur is meant to be a tech platform but has a low sensor range. The Pegasus' one functional trait doesn't apply to any of the weapons in its equipment package!
This is because HORUS mechs are designed purely as a testament to a certain discipline of technology. I remember expressing irritation with a friend's NeoGeo-for-X-Box emulator once, that you couldn't reconfigure the controller mapping so that it was easier to play with the X-Box controller. He remarked that it was meant as a historical preservation tool that perfectly duplicated the functionality of the NeoGeo, and that the only reason you could even play games using it at all is because that was a function of NeoGeo arcade cabinets.
That's how HORUS mechs are - their usability as chassis is broadly a side-effect.

One of the most common modifications (42% of LANCER's who were able to answer the survey) made to interior of the cockpit of the HA Enkidu is modifying the Reactor Danger Zone indicator. This usually takes the form of a piece of tape over the Reactor Danger Zone text, replacing it with text such as 'Beast Mode', 'going Monke' or 'Feral'. By far the most popular modification (72%) to the frame is the installation of cat ears.

Shoutout to Harrison Armory for creating the Enkidu, which somehow manages to be the most fucked up frame in a universe they have to share with Horus.

Memes from Cradle be like "gosh darn it, discovered another mass grave while laying the foundation for my new gardening shed."
Ironic memes from Ras Shamra are like "mass transit was 3 minutes late so I was late to sportsball practice 😔 thus I am humbly asking Union's Depatment of Justice and Human Rights to liberate my planet"
Memes from Carina are like "bro can handle 5 gees while burning through atmospheric entry but spends 5 minutes in rough waters and he's tossing his breakfest overboard 😂"
A meme from Sparr would go something like "hey at least it's not snowing!"
