I like it, not the Proto I was looking for  ;D but nice and effective

Any reason they are not just all modular weapons?  The first one seems to be the only one with fifteen armour points while the rest have 16 otherwise they are very familiar.
My three main Alternate Timeline with Thanks fan-fiction threads are in the links below. I'm always open to suggestions or additions to be incorporated so if you feel you wish to add something feel free. There's non-canon units, equipment, people, events, erm... Solar Systems spread throughout so please enjoy

Configurable turrets weight 20 kg extra and take up 1 (body) slot extra.

So...

Clan assault quad: 700 kg
3 ground MP: 160 kg
15 standard armor: 375 kg
APWM Body: 5 kg, 1 slot
Power Pack Body: 25 kg, 1 slot
7-slot configurable turret Body: 120 kg, 2 slots.

615 kg and 7 (turret) slots left fits all your above configurations.
