So after looking into it, I've discovered the Talos, a homegrown Medium Battlemech of the Taurian Concordat. From its simplistic design to entirely Ammo-based weaponry, its relatively inexpensive to make and field.....and unfortunately went out of production after the Reunification War (may the Star League rot for its sins). Which is a shame, because its uniquely dependant on ammo with no energy weapons, and feels more RAW as a result.
Now, I have lore questions about this Mech (and to a lesser extent, the Toro). Are there any places that continued production of the Mech afterward? Or is there any possibility that they still kept producing it, or that some other periphery planets or Manufacturing companies could have factories that produce the mech?
Or would that be a bit of a stretch given its short existence?
Finally, anyone else out there share a love for this walking ammo-bin? Personally I'm planning on grabbing some IWM models for a lance.
