So, I've drawn a few things in my spare time...they are not really that great quality, but they're to get the point across.

Above is Ilivais D, Churi Dhara's Ilivais prototype. It's a very basic design, and among the main sources for the MP Ilivais, as it is a complete close-range combat unit that is incredibly lithe and agile.
Below is the Espada, flagship unit of the Iberian Empire. It's very basic and utilitarian, and meant to be made in huge numbers. The right arm is your typical...arm, usually holding the standard-issue sword but often with other uses. The left arm houses a shoulder cockpit and more fixed weaponry- should the main body be destroyed or damaged, it can detach as a unit of its own, and either retreat or continue fighting, in which case the main body of the Espada operates under a basic AI.

The eponymous Ilivais X...ugh, the front view was done really hastily and looks terrible and is only there for reference. Plus the specifics of it are wrong compared to the side view.

There we go. Much better. Anyway, Ilivais X is the third of the Aztec's Phonos Weapons, units designed with incredible performance and specialization in a specific attribute. X has a median of strength, speed, and armor, but posesses the Cyclic Engine, an infinite energy machine, which it utilizes extensively for charging its blades with energy or just outright beam spamming. Unlike the other Phonos Weapons, who are meant to be unrivaled in specific deployments, X is meant to basically be on the field for extensively long periods of time, as it posesses self-regenerating armor, limitless energy, and a pilot who only needs this energy to be sustained. As it proves itself to be strong and agile in its own right, the impressively balanced performance combined with its purpose of never ceasing to fight, and it quickly proves itself as an incredibly powerful force and an imposing threat should, say, the pilot be an immortal little girl out for the world's blood.
At some point (likely when the story is finished and/or published), I intend to commission better-quality artwork of all...~30 something robots in the story, along with appropriate character art to go with each one. But I know what I intend all of them to look like, so these will be more rough ideas to be converted into better quality (and color, for those units that are actually colored).
