The intriging thing here is that Trowa is among the most subtle of the pilots, yet his machine is just about anything but. It's designed for standing off at a distance and pounding the enemy into dust. There's no sneaking about in Heavyarms. Of course, with EW, we could (from a writer's PoV) look at it... the original Trowa Barton was anything but subtle. Heavyarms was designed for him originally, so the contrast between Heavyarms and Trowa could be a subtle hint that he's not what - or who - he seems to be.
