So I thought let's start a WORST BUILD CONTEST:
CDA-3C: with 4 machine guns and 1 TAG laser
PS: To get my 3M Cicada elite I also bought a 3C and put 4 MGs and 1 LPL on it
It is trashy, but I actually managed to kill someone with MGs. And since it got a 350XL in it it works quite good but the MG really is for fun only.
But using the only energy HP for TAG!? SRZLY?
EDIT:
TOP10 WORST MECH CONTEST
(1) WINNER:

I made an awesome that had 1 flamer in the head energy slot, and filled the rest of the crits with LRM ammo. Had to drop most of the armor for the weight. Anyway, you just toggle your heat override and hold down the flamer button until your ammo cooks and you blowup. I was hoping more ammo = larger explosions. Sadly that was not the case.
(2) Runner-up:
The 4xPPC Hunchback also known as the PUNCHBACK

I think the 4xAC/2 Cicada 3C might be right up there... You have to drop to a 100-rated engine to fit the ACs, and drop armour to fit more than one ton of ammo 
40kph, 12.5% heat efficiency, 1 ton of ammo (which you'll go through in 9.375 seconds), 128 points of armour (unless you opt to lower it to fit more ammo) - all for the mighty dakka dakka!

(The third place is shared with the AC20 Cicada I read about - but could not find the quote)

Heh, I actually played this. Twice.
Cataphract-4X
245 engine
4x Machine Guns, 2 tons ammo
2x MPLAS
1x SRM4, 2 tons ammo
I couldn't even get it up to 70 tons, it was like 69.3. I managed to sneak up on a K2 just as he overheated, and held down the fire buttons straight into his cockpit until he powered back up and 2-shotted me with what I think were 2xAC/20s. I ended that round with 17 damage.

The 5th place is for anything involving 4 MGs

I put an LRM 10 and a tag on a Raven. It was hilarious seeing a long line of single missiles fly out towards the target.
Altough I prefer the LRM20 Raven variant

The Hunchback 4P (the P stands for *pew* *pew* i believe) with all different lasers actually sounds quite fun.
Cant check right now, but if its at all possible tonnage wise and managable in terms of heat, id do it and make a video.
Imagine circling an enemy and chainfiring all different lasers and timing it so that you would even produce yellow and purple lasers.
Kind of like the fashionable-in-the-80s laser shows.
Rainbow Puking Unicorn squad for the win. :>
