Well, weird, but not actually that bad, even if it doesn't have any credible backup guns. At least it has the mobility and ammo to actually make decent use of the bus-gun.

[blitzy]

I'm guessing there isn't room but stealth armor might be very nice for that.

[Sabelkatten]

Stealth armor would have been very nice! But as you figured out yourself there isn't space for it. :(

[Black_Knyght]

That's pretty much an "all or nothing" kind of mech, relying on that HGR to make it's point.

Which really isn't any different than the original Charger, which had the whole purpose in the game of, well, charging. :P  This is an interesting twist, though. Even if it can't perform its trademark attack, it still has the speed to outmaneuver most other Assaults and run up all like "AND THIS HERE'S MAH BOOMSTICK!!!" ;D

Technically it would probably be much better with an AC/20 of some type (plus TSM of course!), but 1) that's already been done and 2) an AC/20 isn't big enough for a true Lyran mech! ;D

I've got a whole series of rebuilds with the basic idea of looking like an old SW-era design but now carrying an HGR as well. ;) The Shadow Hawk is hilarious! ;D

I get two images in my mind from this:
1) A Shadow Hawk that finally replicates the destructive power of the Dougram's Turbo Zak cannon
2) A Shadow Hawk flying through the air backwards from the sheer recoil of said gun

Given that 1) it really needs to move a lot to use its weapons effectively and 2) I had to use a small cockpit to fit everything... It's very not the most stable mech around! :Jumpy:
