It can take 2 Gauss Rifle shots to any location (3 to the centre torso), moves 4(5)/6(8) without an XL Engine, has multiple pathways to TSM activation, hits you for 38 damage in a singe location, and hammers you with a couple of PPCs while closing.

RUN.

Does it drink radioactive fruit punch from a can?

[Lagrange]

A standard counter to TSM monsters is heat-causing weapons.  If you max out the +15 from external heat (fairly easy via inferno SRMs), then the heat rises to 24 reducing move to 1/2 with an 8+  shutdown avoid and a +4 modifier to fire.   

[Dave Talley]

Despite being an early fan I think that hatchets are a waste of tonnage. You could easily add a ppc  or just a third snubbie, for more power on the way to hand to hand,
It will still be 2-19 point punches, or a 38 point kick

[Lycanphoenix]

The Scout doesn't kick! /s

I don't think OP is going for optimal, I think he's going for a theme.

Hatchets can hit the Head when a Kick cannot. 

Hatchets also generate no Heat while PPCs add considerable amounts.

Hatchets also have really low BV, making it easier to fit in to lists.

It can take 2 Gauss Rifle shots to any location (3 to the centre torso), moves 4(5)/6(8) without an XL Engine, has multiple pathways to TSM activation, hits you for 38 damage in a singe location, and hammers you with a couple of PPCs while closing.

RUN.

My biggest concern would just be the lack of Jump Jets.  That ability to maneuver (as well as generate more Heat while moving) is important for a Melee Monster to catch its prey.

And I'm saying this as one who made his own bonk-monster, and didn't listen to this advice.

POWERTHIRST!

*ahem*
*cough*

Sorry

[Lycanphoenix]

Ooooh, you could also do a "Sandman" subvariant which mounts a TSEMP.
