Oh no I understand that most manufactured variants were designed and built for that purpose, I was bring up the more custom variants that are out there.  Once's that weren't painstakingly built for the purpose, for example this custom Marauder variant:<br/><br/><em>MAD-SD Marauder Douglas - The personal ‘Mech of 12th Vegan Rangers Alpha Regiment commander Margrave Sheridan Douglass during the DCMS's Third Succession War invasion of Galtor III, only the arm mounted medium lasers remain, with each PPC replaced by a Large Laser and the autocannon swapped for a pair of SRM-4 launchers with a shared ton of reloads. The remaining weight and space is devoted to five additional heat sinks and three extra tons of armor. BV (2.0) = 1,459[47]</em><br/><br/>SRM-4 instead of an autocannon, personally I think that's crazy, since the only reason you might need that much close in firepower would be if you still had the PPCs with the limited range.  But it can/was done, I think that option should exist but make it costly.<br/><br/>Once again Omnimechs flexibility comes from being able to be done quickly in the field and not from the fact that it can be done at all (one would also think that this should mean less variety of mechs fielded by the clans but FASA/Catalyst has to sell books somehow).<br/><br/>Matt
