I like this guy, though I've only used him once or twice. I think it's a closer return to the older, 3025 Atlas design that's a close-in mugger with some token ranged abilities.
The machine gun array replaces the SRM 6, which cuts back on range and pure firepower significantly, but also has the potential for focusing critical hits.
The medium lasers(only lasers) are two arm-mounted ER models, which give it good arc and range, but will tend to be one of the first casualties of a long, even fight.
The hatchet's role is self-explanatory(it's not for opening barrel drums of pork n' beans).
The LRM 20 gets an Artemis IV upgrade, meaning that 'Token Long Range Firepower' can be capitalized, for all the difference it'll make(It's not a clever acronym; it's just slightly beefier, like an LRM 20 w/Art IV).
I popped an extra half-ton for more armor, at the cost of some CASE. The odds are only 1/12 for a crit on that lone, RT ammo bin. Besides, if I put CASE in there, where would I put the ammo?
In short, it brawls better (the lone -AP1 variant with TSM brawls slightly better, though you have to turn some heat sinks off for it to work)
