Yes it sounds "reasonable" but is it "right"?

Warlord titans are a lot bigger than warhound titans, but they are both
"titans".
Capital Imperialis is the biggest of the super heavies (I think...), much
bigger than a Knight or a Shadow whichever tank, but they are still "Super
Heavies".

I don't personally approve of a moral test to attack titans (as I've said
before, if the things are on the battle field then the soldiers should have
been trained to deal with it...) but I definitely see the CI as a big truck
with room in the back for some real tanks and don't think it would be as
imposing as a titan even if it was the same size...

The bottom line is, there MIGHT be a case for a super heavy that can carry
other super heavies to be upgraded in size class for the purposes of
dertermining what can pin what, but I don't personally see it as necessary...
