an interesting observation i have about the KMF generations in the show is this

every new "generation is designed to counter the previous gens
the 4th gens are built to combat traditional combat machines like tanks
the 5th was built with the idea that it would also have to deal with other frames like the 4th gens
the 7th gens, in addition to applying 6th gen theoretic weapons, seem to be designed specificlly to fight other KMF's almost exclusively (the fukshahado or MVS seem built for the task)
the 8th gens seem to say "so you have very fast land based KMF's, well in that case, we have flight enabled ones" and designed specificlly to be used with float units (the mordred and tristain for example are pretty much designed from scratch to have them)
and the 9th gen seems to say "so you have flight enabled KMFs, well, we have KMF's specificlly designed to fight against OTHER flight enabled units" and give the 9th gens MUCH better flight speed and maneuverability in the air

every new gen is built to counter the old ones by focusing specificlly on countering the advantages the last gen developed
