Nice picture, but I have yet to see any stats appear when I look at that thing. I mean, I get the tech read out data fields (tonnage:, thrust:, nose armor:, etc.) but there's no numbers to go with it. Is it meant to be just artwork?

I think so...just artwork, since I too have not been able to see the stats for it either, same with Ajax tank.

The Ajax tank said a few days ago: "Here's the picture. You have to wait until tomorrow to read the stats."
If you check now, the Ajax has the stats. I'm hoping the Shiva will too soon.

Probably have to wait a week for the stats, as with the Ajax. 
I like the Ajax. I may even buy this TRO (though I hate the massive proliferation of designs in the currect universe.)

Actually, Ajax and Shiva are grand names, the former the warrior second only to Achilles in the Illiad (see this quick entry), the latter the Hindu god of destruction (for more, here). Incidentally, it says the latter's wife is Kali

Well, to me, everything looks like an F-14
But, yes, now that you mention it, I do see that...although it partly depends on whether those really are variable geometry wings, or if that black strip on each wing is just decoration..

Ajax is from Greek Mythology and Shiva is from Hindiu Mythology.
