The tech on the machine can be easily obtained from Comstar
while the vehicle chassis lack an expensive fusion reactor
which makes it an inexpensive high tech machine.
Ammo looks alittle over the top though.

Looks interesting.. a littel under-gunned, but that LB-10X can do interesting things to mechs and vehicles.

between the LB10 and the MGs this should have a good chance of disabling other vehicles and crit seek mechs. It would also be able to go after vtols with that LB10. All in all a pretty decent machine for the price.

I was not very creative with this design though. It was just a simple case of a Tank.
A great bit of metal with a big gun on it.

Well I think this machine is slow for a hover and you have about 3 times as much MG ammo than you need. You could dump a full ton of it and use the freed tonage to add armour or more MGs or both or upgrade to a more powerfiul engine for more speed.
