So, I've had an idea for a bit of a challenge for this forum subsection. This is partially a request for help, partially a fun challenge. Your job is to create a build on a mech based on the Wendigo, an omnimech that won't be in for some time. There is only one rule. You must follow the specifications I lay out. You can use normal battlemechs or an omnimech, if you want. Here are the specs

50 ton medium mech
300 XL engine
Endo steel structure
Either Ferro fibrous armour or standard armour (In the lore the Wendigo uses reflective armour, but thats not in game.)
LRM 10 X 1
UAC 2/ AC @ X 1
ER Medium Lasers/Medium lasers X 4
SSRM 6/ SRM 6 X 1
You may use as many heatsink as you wish, but you will need room for ammo for the missiles and the AC.

NVA-A is the closest I can get. I don't think there's any 50-tonner with the required hardpoint combination; and if engines could be switched and ES structure allowed, the NVA could probably get the same build.

If it were a 55-ton medium, the SCR could do it, but with an oversized 330XL instead of a 300XL.

Oh, i forgot to mention, it doesn't matter to me if its an IS mech or a Clan mech.

No 50-tonner IS mech has the required hardpoints, even if they can actually have the right engine and customisation options.

If you are ok with a 55t 'mech you could either use the SCR-PRIME or the SHD-GRAY DEATH.
The Gray Death can only mount a SRM4 in the head.
Both are shown with a 330 engine which gives the 55t the same speed as a 300 engine to a 50t 'mech.
Add cooling and ammo acc. to your preferences.
