I hardly doubt many people would like to play an unarmed mech.
As a scout (Roll specific statement implies that I know atleast 1 other person there, a Catapult etc...), I would swap an extra laser and SRMs more speed, jumpjets and extra good looks (Battlepod for the win) (and more armor? don't remember) any day of the week.
With the jenner having JJs and extra guns I'd be too tempted to pick a fight (see most recent screenshot) with out those I would chalk the mech up to silly and near pointes (example above being the raven and the commando is not much better). If I am scouting, then my job is 1 being bionoculars, 2 clean up support/opportunist.
Honestly I like the line up of mech a lot, I just have soft spot for the battle pods and that (above sketch) is a far enough deviation that it would be safe for use.
Edit: that implies that I would pilot this. It would be like taking the tackle role in EVE, man it can suck, but sure is handy
