The Firebats of the Brood War were most successfull, and their gear was subsequently iterated upon and improved. Their CMC armour was rebuilt to a significantly larger size to carry more plasma, and this also increased their efficiency, as well as danger to friendly Marines and other infantry.

Sometime after the war, they were experimented with, and armament interchanged on some of the CMC suits. Instead of huge plasma tanks that had the potential to blow up a whole squadron on the field, they changed the built-in weapons to a large array of Concussion Grenades, that both packs an explosive punch efficient against well armored opponents as well as deliberately knocking out any steering systems out of mechanical units, or just smack biological units silly, slowing their movement speed significantly. The impact is designed to hamper any form of opponent's ability to move fast.
