I knew I still have it in my Heavy Metal Folder. Gentleman, this thing was part of a competition for Heavy Metal to build a mech with very much bv. (BV 1)
It uses the old LAM rules, so a new version might have other BV Values. But this was the winner. Sadly my brain is not the one which invented this crazy thing.

==Overview:==
This LAM was discovered by an Explorer Corp expedition in the deep periphery
and details are sketchy at best due to the unfortunate incident that befell
the investigative team. While surveying a previously uncharted world, Nothing
much showed up initially but a shuttle expedition to the surface came across a
series of small craters and the crew decided to investigate. The craters were
similar to those created by orbital bombardment which was worrying to the
small team, who could have that amount of firepower this deep into the
periphery? What they found next raised even more questions. Half buried in the
cover of a small valley they found what they called a Warhammer LAM.
==Capabilities:==
What they found was badly damaged in a way consistent with being caught in the
edge of a blast from orbital bombardment and the following information is
based on a rough field report.
It was hard to estimate how much armour was originally fitted but it has been
estimated at around five and a half tonnes that appeared to have been patched
in places. The internal structure was made of a Very light but compact
composite, and the engine shielding and gyro show extensive use of lightweight
materials. In addition to the lightweight construction of the engine it also
appeared to be fitted with a supercharger. The jump jets were of an advanced
design, which computer simulations show very good performance in airmech mode
when compared to the Star League's Phoenix Hawk LAM. The Myomer seemed to be
triple strength as found on Inner Sphere Mechs adding confusion as to its
origins.
The weapons appeared equal to anything found on a Clan Mech. and consisted of
an ERPPC and ER medium laser in each arm with a third ER medium laser firing
to the rear, with all weapons benefiting from being linked to a targeting
computer.
Perhaps the most surprising thing was the cockpit that had two positions one
for a gunner and one for a pilot. The team also failed to find connectors for
a standard neural helmet. There was no sign of the Mechwarriors and it is
assumed that they survived the destruction of their machine.
After their initial inspection of the mystery LAM the team sent a report back
to their dropship in orbit and asked permission to attempt to restart the
engine that had sustained minor damage. Permission was given and shortly
afterward all contact with the team was lost. When a second team was sent to
investigate they found that the engine had exploded killing all of the first
team and leaving very little of the LAM left to examine
.
How such a machine ended up on this barren planet is a mystery, and a second
better-equipped expedition has been despatched to carry out a detailed
investigation. Although it is theoretically possible that such a machine could
be built the various technological advances are spread across the Clans and
Inner Sphere and are still in prototype form. Estimates on the age of the
craters by the first expedition based on predicted weathering rates for the
planet put the time of the LAMs demise as some 80-90 years ago.
