So, pure silliness, I decided to create a LAM for one of the main baddies in my MechWarrior game. He hasn't shown his face yet, though that is coming up, and I wanted to give him a certain terror-by-surprise factor rather than being actually hyper-competent like so many other figures in the BattleTech universe. The villain in question is a too-rich-for-his-own-good type with an obsession for dragon stylings. His calling cards have holographic dragons on them. His suits have dragons on them. He spends extra to make sure his HPG messages come with dragon graphics. He's that guy.
So when I sat down to make his ride the dragon theme was top of my mind. Then I gave myself giggles considering how to build a CQC LAM. This thing is not meant to be actually good, I am certain a conventional 'mech with a partial wing would be vastly superior, but instead to be so off the wall that it can be shockingly effective. The first time. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, but I thought to ask the community for opinions and tweaks as the more minds involved the better the effect might be.
In particular I'd like suggestions for quirks, positive and negative, and SPAs that might make this thing work.
