This is my new idea for a mobile heavy battlesuit with a long-ranged (for BA) crit-seeking arsenal. The idea is that a squad of these puts out basically an LB8-X blast at 8 hexes and an LB12-X blast at 6 hexes. 'Mechs transport them into range while punching holes in enemy armor, then the Samson suits dismount and open up with their little Gauss rifles and LMGs to inflict crits. With a single light machine gun they are also decent against conventional infantry.
The basic model is armored like an Elemental and mounts magclamps. The Advanced has heavier armor but can only ride omnis.
