Pretty sure the belt fed ones come later on in the arc once he starts making even more mods to the suit? It's been a LONG time since I read it but this version is kind of his "final" version in that arc. There is a series after that where he's in the suit again IIRC but he has a new helmet, belt fed arms, etc. It's a different look for sure and I'd love to see that too at some point.
This is probably the design you remember:

It was good but the designers messed up his arms and the spikes all face the wrong way. Fans pointed that out when the prototype was on display at a convention and the crew on site said they knew it was wrong and that was getting fixed prior to production which turned out to be a bold faced lie.
