That sounds a little like suicide to me... if by hot foot he means getting it ready for production, yeah close to.. unless Oafman wants to suggest changes.. this is a committee after all

By hotfoot I am refering to an old practical joke where a match is stuck in the toe of the shoe. Then while the victim is not looking the match is lit which then makes their feet REALLY hot. Thus the name hotfoot. Popular prank in the early 20th century.
Actually I do not have any complaints about the design. I move that the comittee puts this weapons load to a vote. Once this is approved, then we can move to armor placement and weapons placement. Anyone want to second the motion?

| I just found this, sorry. Perhaps I can join in on the next one (if it's too late to join in on this one)? I was thinking perhaps with the new one, we could start with the mech's name (or a series of names based on a theme, such as garden tools... yes, I was just mowing the lawn) and go from there.

I particularly like the four SRM-2 arrangement. Hard to knock out, and likely to generate lots of critical strikes.

I want one SRM-2 in each leg. And would anyone mind putting one of the CT mounted ones facing the rear?

I think that the AC5 should be in one of the torsos with both flamers in one arm. Replace the the hand with the flamer. That way you can reach around stuff to accurately light things on fire. Picture a mech bending over and reaching its hand into the 1st floor of a building and setting off the flamers.
I do like the idea of having 1 srm 2 in the rear.

Wouldn't you put the PPC in the torso instead of the A/C 5? I mean, since it's the more powerful weapon, putting it in one of the torsos would make it better protected, don't your think?
For what it's worth, I would rather loose the A/C 5, than a PPC

But that would make sense. 
Either one of those main weapons would work in the torso.

I vote for a gauss rifle...no, a heavy gauss rifle. And an AC/20...ultra or lbx?
Oh, we need some ATM's too. I'd say a nine rack should suffice.
