On the other hand, two of the three Quickdraw variants (the QKD-4G and QKD-4H) start as effectively identical (the 4H has an extra missile hardpoint in the LT, while the 4G has more JJ capacity (max 7, vs max 5) and greater arm & torso rotation/swing arcs).

Given this precedent set by the Quickdraw, the loadout/hardpoint similarity between the JVN-10N (dual SRM-6s) and JVN-10P (SRM-6 + dual SSRM-2s) may not be a disqualifying factor for the Javelin.
(The third variant would be the laser-boating JVN-10F, aka "Fire Javelin".)

I know, I know.. but the Firestarter is so tasty... and the UrbanMech, well, it would be quite funny.

Just paste the link into the editor, it will embed it automagically.

Do note that it won't do it on an edit though; some bug in the forum software I guess.

For the Thug just use a Battlemaster 1S and get a bigger engine/more armor.

So, what I understood is: they won't have MASC ready for April, 2014, so we will get a new Light Mech instead of the Flea.

Firestarter or Urbanmech, definitely. (Firestarter more likely)

And them, in May, the Banshee.

Who wants to make a bet?

BTW, have you guys read the OP lately? Isn't it a masterpiece? :)
