I know that there aren't any canon Glider/LAM protomech units apart from the Svartalfa (which is somewhat subpar, IMO). Several references to Glider/LAM protomechs in WoR and Interstellar Operations makes me feel like there should be more out there, in use by the Ravens or the "former" Society.
Glider/LAM protomechs are very fragile (especially in an age with HAGs everywhere), and it seems to me that they should be built to be much faster to jack up their TMM and are therefore best used as scouts or harassers either on the edge of battle or behind enemy lines where there are few defenses against them at all.
What seems like the best weapon system to go for?
LB-2X - I know it's been done before with the Minotaur 2, but being a glider might actually give it the LOS to use LBX effectively
4-5x Streak 1 tubes (sort of an LBX cluster shot without the -1TH)
4-5x Streak 2 tubes (an ER-SRM of sorts)
3-4x SPLs (strafing would be fun but would probably be suicidal)
Ideal speed would need to be at least 7/11, if not more. You can probably get away with 40pts of armor and invest the rest into speed.
Thoughts?
