Let's break this down shall we...
The AC10 is traded in for a PPC, which does the same damage without the dependency on ammo.
Two medium lasers are added.
The engine is faster, with an extra jump jet to boot.
And enough heatsinks to fire that PPC again and again without issue.
This is an amazing urbie upgrade! Absolutely amazing! |

A Clan laserboat with the heatsinks to handle it AND a gauss for a ranged attack? YES |

Slower and oversinked. Marginal armor upgrade. More expensive.
There are MadCat variants that do this way better, even if they have their heat endurance problems. This, however, is just plain deficient, even when you add in you can alpha strike at a manageable heat threshold. |

Trades the rear laser for a heat sink. I can get behind that! |

Okay, maybe a Hunchback with an XL engine sounds dumb at first, BUT allow me to present my argument:
Every Hunchback and most swayback variants tend to be extremely dependent on having both torsos alive, mostly due to having the ammo on one side and the big gun on the other. Even the 4P follows this by dumping all its heat sinks on the left torsos.
So, when a Hunchback loses a side torso, it is at best relegated to a medium and small laser.
But with this mech, until you lose said side torso, you are a Hunchback that can run 97.2 kph with an AC/20.
It is hilarious, and terrifying. |

Pretty much a Nightstar that trades slight firepower for durability by not having an XL engine |

Turns into a bit of a Brawler with those guns. A Rotary AC/5 and 2 ER Large Lasers isn't something to scoff at. While it also has a Light Fusion, it at least isn't an XL. Extra armor at least helps to compensate. |

Behold, what a proper and efficient Lostech upgrade can do to a mech.
The Victor always had catastrophically low armor. Fixed.
Victor is upgunned to the a terrifying level. Ultra AC/20s are terrifying for their potential to break a mech. |

I often get frustrated at Stalkers that don't have the second Large Laser
However, this design does appeal to me. It can shoot the LRMs and ERLL as often as it likes. When it gets close it can fire all the ERMLs while alternating the ERLL every turn. Though the ammo stockpile does give me pause for concern. This one might be best as a Sniper mech that can switch to a Juggernaught later in the game. |

We could have gotten the second Large Laser if the Narc and some heat sinks were taken out, but nope. Like many ruined upgrades, they have to add all the 'new' stuff as if it were a checkbox to fill. Narc gets put on so many unsuitable mechs. |
