What about an omni-fied Savannah Master?  Blindingly fast, cheap both in C-Bills and BV.  About as close to the "hover buggies" described in Wolf Pack as anything else I've seen.
I'm rarely right... Except when I am.  ---  Idle question.  What is the BV2 of dread?
Apollo's Law- if it needs Clan tech to make it useable, It doesn't deserve those resources in the first place.
Sure it isn't the most practical 'mech ever designed, but it's a hundred ton axe-murderer. If loving that is wrong I don't wanna be right.

That is the most elegant solution, yeah

My actual goal was to put on as many IJJs as possible
