That Stalker mod is hilarious & begging to have a pair of Savannah Masters pull a Hoth-ATAT on it to take it out.   Sooo top heavy.

It can be done, just no backup weapons

And with double heat sinks, it can even handle the heat load.  I suspect you'd get more mileage though out of Thumper pieces.

Not sure how I feel about the yellow and back paint scheme - it's well-executed, but it's...different.  That Buffalo is awesome, though - funny enough, my wife and I are working our way back through the series right now.

Twin Thumpers would be pretty sweet, I think.  If for nothing else than the deep ammo bins...

I was thinking if that was Black & Red it would be Tikonov Republican Guards.

Not sure who uses a quartered Black/Yellow.

One of Holt's Hilltopper battalions, IIRC.

* To sum it up: FASAnomics: By Cthulhu, for Cthulhu - Moonsword
* Because Battletech is a conspiracy by Habsburg & Bourbon pretenders - MadCapellan
* The Hellbringer is cool, either way. It's not cool because it's bad, it's cool because it's bad with balls - Nightsky
* It was a glorious time for people who felt that we didn't have enough Marauder variants - HABeas2, re "Empires Aflame"

Holt's is reversed.  I had 2 mechs painted correctly and 2 incorrectly, so split them and made this second reversed lance 😅

Also, the Stalker has the legs modded to match the original knee forward look.
