Can I please get some insight on to this mech. One of my players is wishing to deploy it in our Dark Ages game. I would like to know if this works with the current Dark Ages Rule Set.

2 Defiance Razorback B-Pods
Manufacturer: J.B. BattleMechs
Primary Factory: Storfors
Communications System: O/P 3500 COMSET w/ Guardian ECM
Targeting and Tracking System: Cyclops Multi-Tasker 10
Capabilities:
Designed as an update to the BLR-10S, the BLR-12S was built using the former as
a starting point. The Defiance 1001 ERPPC remains as the primary weapon on the
right arm of the mech. Also untouched is the impressive array of 6 forward
facing ER Medium Lasers. The Edasich 225 Compact Fusion Engine stays as the
power source.
The first change was swapping out the Heavy Duty Gyro for a Compact gyro
preferring to make the component a harder target and allowing more room in the
center torso for components as well as weight savings. A smaller cockpit was
also installed to shave off yet more weight and to move the Guardian ECM Suite
up into the head.
The next step was to upgrade the Battlemaster's weaponry with the weight
savings. The measly ER Small Laser in the head intended to ward off an attack
from the rear was found to be too underwhelming to accomplish the task. A more
substantial ER Medium Laser replaced it and was put into the Torso.
The Streak SRM-4 mounted in the Left Torso also saw an upgrade to a more
menacing Streak SRM-6. The larger launcher necessitated the removal of the
bulky CASE, but the increased offensive capability as well as the ability to
cycle through the ammunition at nearly twice the speed made it a welcome
trade-off.
A small but final change was the addition of a flamer to the Battlemaster's
left arm. This gave the mech a much needed anti-infantry option and the added
versatility of being able to set fire to the field if necessary. The
reconfigurations of all these weapons also allowed for the actuator on the
right hand to be replaced allowing for the mech to use both hands in combat if
necessary.
More versatile, more durable, and packing a bigger punch at a slightly lower
cost, the BLR-12S is a fearsome upgrade to it's predecessor allowing it to
maintain it's footing as the master of the battlefield.

Its Single-Tech
Its Dark Ages
I don't think its too far out of the question to say that's what you need to know.
Now, personally, I will admit that the idea of a Battlemaster with a *small* cockpit goes against my Instinct, but its an interesting refit - and, honestly, you provided reasonings to almost all of the design decisions, so I am happy with that
