Caused this internal conversation:
Me: There's a Scorpion Mech
Also Me: There's also a Scorpion Tank
Me Too: I hate it when a name is shared between unit type.
Me: You know I wonder what would happen if you made a 'Mech with the Tank's loadout, and visa versa
Also Me: Just make it a QuadVee already, so it's really combining everything.
Me Too: That's a better idea than a Scorpion LAM, and it'll have to be clan, they need a Scorpion IIC anyway.

That eventually resulted in this abomination:

Wondering what was going on back in the homeworlds, the Hell's Horses tasked their Watch to find out. Some time later they stumbled upon the EscorpiĆ³n Imperio. Getting much of the story of the wars of reaving from them, the Hell's Horses Watch commander made the call to ally with the periphery group, in a bid to distract the homeworld clans. To seal the alliance, they helped the small nation develop a new unit. Showcasing not only the Horses new technology, but incorporating technology won in skirmishes against the homeworld clans, and salvaged from battles before Clan Goliath Scorpion fell. They named the result in honor of their new allies.

Variations
The only variation seen to date stripped the missiles and plasma cannon, along with ammo from both, in favor of a pair of Extended Range Large Lasers, and a larger targeting computer.
