However, while the Viking's versatility is its greatest asset, it is also one of its drawbacks. It is not uncommon for Viking pilots to ditch an arm in order to replace a damaged leg servo and return to battle. Most moving parts in the vehicle can be replaced with easy-to-find spares, and even the complex servo systems located in the arms and legs are interchangeable. The Viking was designed with versatility in mind, down to the letter. A soundproof carapace protects the pilot's ears from the thunderous sound of its Gatling cannons.

The pilot's seat has more than double the straps, pads, and packing than any other fighter craft to account for the violent ups and downs the vehicle undergoes when switching from aircraft to walker mode. A set of thrusters in the Viking's underbelly, which allow for hover/VTOL capabilities, keep it stable during transformations, and four low bypass turbines generate propulsion during flight. The Viking is equipped with a large reactor housed in the central area of the vehicle that powers all electrical systems and provides torque for walker mode locomotion. They can be paired with AH/G-24 Banshees for operations as air cavalry.

The walker mode is considered more important. In its aerial mode, Vikings are classified as air superiority fighters. A ship used to support other terran forces, the Viking's transformation ability was based heavily on that of the siege tank.
