I don't think a solaris mech should use arm mounted weapons, since it will often get into melee fights. And you can't fire punch while using arm mounted weapons.

Speed is very important in Solairs fights as is armor. The Prode and ECM are worthless in arena fighting so drop them and since this is Clan tech, yeah not many are going to fight your uhmm mech without using the same or better, so yeah not really a Solairs mech. Pretty sure, need to double check it but the weapon could possible fight on a existing clan mechs.

No, you can't fire arm mounted weapons from the arm that you intend to punch with but you can kick instead. All the weapons mounted on this 'Mech have a zero delay which means it can fire every weapon up to 4 times for every full Solaris turn (assuming you use the rules from the old Solaris VII boxed set).

Nah. Keep the regular SRMs for tandem warheads.

A good punch removes an enemy quicker then a kick does. Now an axe removed heads even faster.

Make a tiny mech with nothing but a large vibroblade for a 1 in 6 chance to decapitate your enemy?

Fast enough to avoid any fire, while being able to charge at you and swing? sounds great. It is solaris...

That would make a great vid..

I don't agree. In the close quarters of an arena, the broader firing arcs of arm weapons can be important (assuming the arm weapons outgun the punches). I certainly wouldn't want to cripple the flexibility of a design while waiting for a modest-damage, range 1 attack opportunity to appear when I could be engaging targets over wider arcs at longer ranges. Longer ranges mean more attack opportunities while punches are only ever a range 1 event.
Being able to flip arms or twist torso and put one arm's weapons into the rear arc is very useful in close quarter fights, moreso than a punch in most - but not all - cases.
I like have the punch option, but I'm not going to warp a design around punching. After all, there's still kicking.

I was trying to keep the first two designs tournament legal. Are tandem warheads used in tournaments?

if you haven't heard of them, I would guess not.
And I would say keeping the weapons with a minimum range in the arms as much as possible, unless you have multiple of the same weapons.
Being solaris, I would think carrying a sword, hatchet, axe, katana, or tree would be something for arena. Atleast the one that has no real range to them.
