The mech is an interesting design, although it lacks the explanation for how the TComp got there. The TSM is especially nice when combined with the sword, and once it's activated, one only needs to fire the lasers and walk or run to keep it active.
That all said, the XL engine is somewhat of a drawback, limiting the 'mech's ability to take damage. A second drawback is the use of the MRMs. A SRM-6 system would be more effective (and accurate) for close range firepower, although has less ammo per ton.
As a city-fighter, this mech does well, but in more open terrain I don't see it performing terribly well as it seems based around the sword/TSM combo for close in power.

I tried to explain the TC here, even if the explanation is very poor, I'm not able to figure out something better. Activating the TSM was discussed there too.
The XL was the only way to give it the speed profile of the PXH and on the open terrain its hard to avoid 7/11/6 (with the TSM engaged) mech for most enemies (ER laser may help to cover it's approach).
SRMs may replace the MRMs easily and using this field modification isn't discouraged by the DCMS.
Using this expensive mech only for city fighting doesn't look like good idea, its fast enough to close on most enemies.
