If the loadout's fine, then we'll move to armour allocation.

Having provided the essential design for this one, I'll proceed to start brainstorming for our next 'mech.
I propose a forty or forty-five ton omnimech, pulling 5/8 or 6/9 speed. Make it jumpy too, with MPLs and Streaks for infighting.
It's a Goliath Scorpion design as well, so the configurations need to be set for long term, extended missions on alien worlds.

Ok then, lets finish this up.
Can some one please provide armour placement and crit placement for heat sinks here?
Once that's done and at least two others agree, i'll put it up on the TRO
All designers will be credited in the fluff, which is also open to contribution.. starting now..

I will leave the bulk of the fluff to those who are better writers out there, but I think it should at least have 1 mention of the Weber corporation. Perhaps notes about a 'trial by fire'? Either the factory burned down, or else the mechs first battletest turned into a catastrophic forest fire.
What does everyone else think?

I like the bit about burning down the factory.. hope the company has enough insurance/reserves to cover that...

Looks good for me. Which ever one of those 2 fits the math. Those have a good distribution.

OK, I am getting a little tired of this. Everytime I write a lengthy post I keep getting kicked out and have to sign back in. Therefore losing all my typing. GRRRRR!!!!
This probably won't be as good, but here we go with the 2nd try. 
The story of this mechs name comes from the first day the prototype was set for trials. The Weber Corporation finished the installation of the Flamers in the arm barely in time for the tests. Unfortunately (or perhaps by good fortune) faulty wiring caused the flamers to explode when the reator was turned on for the test. The resulting fire caused half of the manufacturing complex to burn to the ground. When the rescue operation starting digging through the wreckage of the collapsed building they found the mech intact with only minor damage to the arm and a few scratched and burn marks in the paint. Thus the name Grillmaster was born. In fact the footage of the fire and rescue dig are still used in the sales package.

Sounds good so far. Are the flamers by any chance still prone to fail?

try this
in attempt to soothe any fears of more flamer accidents a special canister of foam was fitted on each flamer so in the event of a fire it would be quickly contained
