Yes its my first Star Wars conversion. and actually I do kind of like the fluff. Anyway let me know what you think.
BattleTech Vehicle Technical Readout
THB Weapons
Type/Model: Juggernaught (custom)
Tech: Inner Sphere / 3060
Config: Wheeled Vehicle
Rules: Level 3, Standard design
Mass: 80 tons
Power Plant: 220 Incom 220 XL Fusion
Cruise Speed: 32.4 km/h
Maximum Speed: 54.0 km/h
Armor Type: Incom Destroyer 12 Heavy Ferro Hvy Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:
4 Medium Lasers
4 'Mech Mortar/1 (THB)s
2 Medium Pulse Lasers
Manufacturer: Incom corperation
Location: Perdition
Communications System: Wunderland XXXV-1 series
Targeting & Tracking System: Wunderland Raptores 3 with integrated Targeting computer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Incom was founded in earily 3058 by a enigmatic gentleman named Darrious
Vader, a self proclaimed Jedi master (to this day no one has seen any
indication of true power and consider it one of him many eccentricities). A
well known star wars fannatic "Vader" as he likes to go by found a obscure
starleague outpost on the planet Perdition and that led him to his current
company location. He quickly started a weapons factory there and has since
finally released his first unit. In a surprising move he has done his best to
recreate the old star wars vehicles and if any of the fourthcomming units are
as interesting as the Juggernaught, then the Inner sphere could be looking at
a future vehicle and weapons powerhouse.
The Juggernaught is a 80 ton wheeled monstrosity that dosent quite reach the
dream of "Vader" but comes awfully close. Ultra Heavy armor protection and a
reinforced chassie make the lighter weapons loadout a minor problem. Designed
to fill the role of Troop carrier, Mobile HQ all in one the design does show
promise, since there does seem to be some inherent modularity with the design.
==Capabilities:==
Moderate speed for a ground vehicle and overall slower than the original
Mobile command HQ the Juggernaught mounts significantly heavier armor and
weapons.
4 turret mounted standard medium lasers make up the main armorment along with
4 Grenade launchers for long range firepower. Sponson mounted Medium
Pulse lasers cover the flanks. Were not sure how they aquired the rights to
make the Heavy Ferro Fibrous but it appears that they have worked out some
interesting deals with other suppliers. In fact the Juggernaught can withstand
6 Inner Sphere PPC or 4 Clan PPC blasts to the front before having to worry
about breaching the heavy frontal amor, with the sides being able to withstand
5 and 3 blasts respectivly.
The vehicle has a average pricetag and is sold as lances only. The main unit
is listed here with the alternate units removing the HQ unit for heavier
weapons and a larger Infantry bay. There is also a version that keeps the same
weapons and increases the infantry bay to hold BA troops.
==Variants:==
For the most part the only varients that are really accepted and for sale are
counterparts for the standard configuration. They drop the HQ unit and
increase the Infantry bay to accomidate BA troops or more infantry troops.
There are a couple prototypes that increase the infantry space and upgrade the
weapons to the experimental Light AC5 wich does seem to be ganing favor. But
it does drop some armor protection to acomplish this.
==Deployment==
Currently several are deployed with the "Sith" troopers that protect the
factory. Only a few have been sold, but it is assumed that once word spreads
around about the units performance sales should pick up greatly.

here is the more expensive but higher damage and larger Infantry bay version. it also removes the HQ to do this. But as always let me know what you think.

Different...I have a couple of takes on the same vehicle, I can post them if you want to compare.
Interesting fluff...not the average fluff that get's seen for things that is for sure. 
Now if I can get the BRAC Speeder to work out...

I like it. Good conversion.
I suppose AT-ATs and AT-TEs are quads and the AT-ST will be an armless design? I'd like to see those.

Over at Sarna (www.sarna.com) I posted some other SW stuff I have done up and got others to help build what they thought the AT-TE would be like via BT tech...a quick look throught desgin section there should give you the info.
I will try and post what I have in a few days...

Uhmm no it doesn't. The toy doesn't show any nor do any of the pictures from RTOJ or any of the drawings in any of the SW books.
They show lasers on one side and a mini-missile or grenade launcher on the other or nothing at all. Then there is the twin lasers under the cockpit area.
Do you happen to have a picture or book title that shows the AT-ST with arms that you could share with me so I can update my SW stuff?

I thought that the laser and grenade launchers are arm-mounted. Without actuators, flippable (and probably under-armored).

I would consider the laser and grenade launcher arm-mounted.

IF building it in BT terms you can either go with no arms at all, which is a Level 3 option or strip out everything but the upper arm acutator and then you get the flipping effect..or if you want more to the how it's actually done then go with just removing the LAA and the hands, since it doesn't look like the weapons could flip backwards.

DANG your armor coverage is outstanding! Not sure about the weapons load out (its the racs I admit I just dont like them). I have to admit I couldnt get the weapons load out that I really wanted, as I was designing it I weas reading the fluff in the Essential guide to vehicles and vessels and was trying to match what they had there, but couldnt get the heavier lasers.

That's what I meant, I know about the armless option, but those weapons look like they can be rotated just like those on arms. Maybe shoulder turrets can be another option.
Edit: Delta had the same idea.
