KOF MI: Maxima's "rigging model" costume piece outfits him in a King Lion/Leo getup.

For KOF '99, SNK's design staff got some fresh blood in the form of Psikyo's former fighting team "The Steel Hearts." I realize "big brown-haired guy in a bulky jacket sporting wrist-mounted artillery" is a pretty common fighting stereotype, but KOF's Maxima and Daraku Tenshi's Harry Ness are quite similar.

Rocky is without a doubt the second player-character from SNK's 1991 beat 'em up Robo Army, but did you know the first player was named Maxima?!
This is all apparently a happy coincidence, as Maxima's KOF storyline mentions nothing about destroying an army of rogue robots a few years prior to meeting K'. Meanwhile, KOF-canon Rocky is more like Charlie to Maxima's Guile, a comrade-in-arms killed by NESTS.
Rocky nonetheless appears in KOF 2000 in true-to-Robo Army form as a striker.
