Okay here is the idea: build a vehicle based on the above picture.
It has to be airborne droppable...and the name is the MERKAGAVIN.
I will let you guys in on reasons once we have about 5 or 6 designs submitted...
Have fun!

Define air droppable!
JJ's? Fluff thing? Able to be transported under a VTOL?

Either out of a cargo plane or aerodyne dropship...you parachute it out of the aerocraft and it floats to the ground.

No it actually has to be able to be pushed out of an air craft of some kind, so the weight should be something that will allow this to happen.

Just out of stomach!
Light, no advanced technology and a gun to deliver some punch!
On the other side thin armor, little ammo and no backup!
I'm still working on fluff.

And some 25 tons 
I would consider Main Gauche, if I was looking for similar vehicle.

I didn't want to drop the armor more than i did or make it heavier! So i went with that regardless of its disadvantages just to keep it small and cheap!
The advanced version has a backup weapon though!

I wouldn't want to be a crew member of a tank throwed out a cargo plane at some 2000 meters anyway!!!

Again a shortened stat summary.
MERKAGAVIN v.1
7t tracked vehicle, fusion engine, 6/9, 2t FF armor (10/5/5, turret 10), ER medium laser in turret. Remaining 0.5t can be a) armor, b) ER small laser, c) parachute (your choice, I don't know what rules would you use).
The most obvious advantage of this vehicle is that it can be carried by Karnov (3058 variant)
MERKAGAVIN v.2
20t tracked vehicle, fusion engine, 5/8, 5t FF armor (25/15/10, turret 25), Large laser and MG in turret and another MG fixed in front. Both share 100 shots.
This one can be transported by Planetlifter.

Combat Equipment has rules for vehicular dropchutes! They can be attached to any vehicle or even cargo container up to 100 tons without needing internal space (just like MaxTech Jumppacks)!
BTW: the small one is really nice! Swarm'em!!!
