I like the look of this miner. I believe the IMG is rather entitled to their own miner, too. The jaws are pretty neat; I like that rather brutal, efficient, mining look.
The back needs to be flushed out. Sure, it eats the rocks, but where do the rocks go? Stick a processing plant on the back of it. Or a storage bin. Anything to make it seem like this ship just isn't about the eating rocks aspect, but also about the containment and processing of the rocks.
