Nitpick: "Boomerang" is used by a 5-ton scout plane.
Getting a bit beefy for a battle taxi, but if you're hauling battle armor, I can see the need.

Its not bad, but if it has a fusion engine, it doesn't make sense to not utilize it, stick a couple of medium lasers on it, maybe in place of the SRM/2s. I'am a little doutful of the usefullness of side-mounted weapons, but all in all, not bad, decent speed, good armor.
The missile weapons are good weapons for general anti-everything use you need if your supporting infantry. LRM/10 for indirect? SRM/6 for anti-armor? Its a good design, but it needs some energy weapons before I'd buy into too much.
