Thinking something like tomb spiders eh? Don't forget that antigrav trumps even mechs for maneuverability. Could have one that has retractable legs for more careful positioning at times where it's needed. So it doesn't have to match speeds if it's doing in transit repairs. Although two magnetic grapple limbs would probably work the same?
