I'm not sure having the laser even fits the purpose of the mech.
I mean it was a Loader mech so having the "Lift Hoist" (i think they're called that way) makes sense, but laser seems kind of out of place.
It does make me realize just the crazy amount of rules Battletech can have. They weren't kidding at mechcon when they were talking about how crazy complex the game can be.

Lift Hoists
'Mechs (Industrial or BattleMech) may mount up to two Lift Hoists in either arms or their Torsos.

Each Lift Hoist allows a unit to lift cargo equal to half its tonnage (or 200 whichever is lower) and suffer no movement penalty for carrying cargo up to half their tonnage.

I actually recently discovered that Battletech has rules for beast-mounted infantry...
with the following examples:
Horse.
Megasaur.
Orca.

....Orca... as in the killer whale.
With an elaborate example, too, torpedo infantry mounted on orcas... in which they bombard undersea facilities.

Killer......freaking...whales...
O_O

Side note: The "Buster" Hauler Mech that the Powerman was built to compete with out of spite was made by then 34 year old Richard Sitwell in the Vehicle Annex, but... 4 years later Catalyst retconned this with Historical Operation Klondike to say it was made in 2764, when the creator was 3 years old, and 31 years before he even made the company that built it... and that the specific one mentioned in the Vehicle Annex publication 4 years earlier was made in 2895 according to the Master Unit List. The original Powerman in the Vehicle Annex, states that the mech was produced in the same year as the Sitwell company, which is 2795.

Go figure.
(Also strange: The Buster XV is the main mech that the Powerman was based on, but the same page in the Vehicle annex lists a Buster XXI with Triple Strength Myomer, which has led to wikis listing that as the Buster 2795 mech with Industrial TSM... though TSM was a 3040+ creation).

But anyway, yeah..
Imagine battling mechs in the water... as orca-mounted torpedo infantry!

I wish I knew how to do attachments...

I also have three based on Macross, but I think HG would kill this chat if I posted them...

I want to do more, but I need a few more templates. I could REALLY use a Cougar...
