A lighter Thug with jj and a tarcomp - so far so good.

But it is just waaaay to slow for a mere 6 tons of armour (the Thug carries almost 2.5 times that amount).

The Hunchback IIC taught us that lesson.

Some people don't like the 2 PPCs/DHS combo, but this machine still manages to be a nice example of mech design. I agree with jymset that the armor is too weak for 4/6/4 55t mech, but it would still be fun to play. What about some fluff?

I think this design is pretty okay. I'd never want it in a full lance on lance or company on company battle. It'll get savaged in one quick round and next thing you know your down a whole lot of fire power.

Yup, it will draw fire a lot. But that just makes it trickier to deploy, so it may be fun

I would drop the TC for more armor. Other than that I like the design.
