A little light on armor, but otherwise a good poor man's trooper 'Mech.  Only thing I might suggest is swapping out one of the MLs for a machine gun and half a ton of ammo, just to give it anti-infantry capability to support its escorting grunts.

If you're going to do that, might as well just go with a flamer instead. No ammo explosions to worry about and does even more damage to infantry.

It would be fun to see a prototype version using a fission engine for extra Cold War flavor

[Gorgon]

Now that's a good idea to expand the low end of the tech tree!

Wait, what AU.

I need to know more.

Decided to give it a shot myself. Traded the medium lasers for machine guns for anti-infantry use, lost some Heavy Rifle Ammo, made it a little slower, a little hotter, and a smidge more fragile. I'd love to write some fluff for this at some point.
