Here are a couple refits to the Viking 2G I mocked up. It is one of those mechs I think about using, but always ends up getting cut for some reason. Both feature the iHGR in place of the Gauss Rifle.

Tried to keep the firepower comparable to the original. The LB-5X instead of the 10 to save weight for the upgrade to the HGR. The same for pretty much every other weapon system.

Similar approach, though entirely dismissing any pretense that this machine should be fighting anything at short range.
