So, running a little side project, and I'm considering of adding something, but I wanted to check with the brain trust here first.
Are there any Warjacks that have extra abilities that are focus-based? Kind of like Animi, but only produced by the Warjack itself.

various ret jacks:
-not quite an animi, but all house shyeel jacks can spend focus to recharge their force field -griffons can spend 1 focus for fleet during their activation to get +2" movement -discordia can spend 1 focus for an imprint: kinetic field ability (disco and models w/in 3" of it get +2 ARM to ranged attacks and immunity to blast damage) -helios can spend 1 focus to use it's force gate ability, which either gives 1 focus to jacks w/in 3" of it, gives it +2 DEF and poltergeist, or repulsor field. it can spend 3 focus to activate all 3 abilities on the same activation. -manticore can spend 1 focus to gain +3 STR for a turn -moros can spend 1 focus for fleet -siren has oracular vision -goreshade4 has field marshal: arcane vortex, so any jack in his battlegroup can hang on to focus to kill spells -the chimera can't spend extra focus, but if you leave focus on it it gets a DEF bonus (+1 DEF per focus on it) -the hydra can't spend extra focus, but it has focus battery, which lets you leave focus on it when usually you'd have to clear it every turn

I thought that it would be Retribution that would do it, if anyone did. Thank you for the list to look up.
I wasn't considering the shield improvement animi-ish, as that's a little closer to healing.

Drago in Khador and the Centurion in Cygnar also have Imprint abilities. The Mad Dog in Khador also has Fleet.

There's always Deathjack, who does the whole animus thing, except in reverse...
And though it's not technically an Imprint, it pretty much is, but Avatar's Gaze counts, I suppose.

Behemoth powerful attack count? Eh, the Charger and gun-bunnies have that too, but to me, it's both too similar to the general mechanic of boosting (kinda dry) and isolated to the warjack using it (has no effect on anything friendly around it) to count as a focus based ability akin to an animus...

Behemoth powerful attack count? It's an efficiency ability, not so much a bonus gained by spending extra Focus.

The Avatar has Menoth's Gaze. Scourge of Heresy has Arcane Vortex. Fire of Salvation used to have Holy Fervor.
