Could produce some new variants of the mech, with minor alterations here and there. A tournament legal version that exchanged the Rotary AC/20 for an Ultra AC/20, multiple Rotary AC/5s, or even four HAG-30s, would be a sight to behold. (And by the way, would you mind sharing the stats of the Mechforce UK weapons? Thanks in advance).
Another alteration you could make for a future variant is to exchange the ER-PPCs for Large Pulse Lasers, sacrificing a little bit of your damage and range for increased accuracy, reduced heat, and increased effectiveness against niche cases like the Blue Shield PFD. The reduced heat would also mean you could pack fewer heat sinks, saving enough space for Ferro Lamellor armor, which in turn would prove beneficial to the pilot when they are using Enhanced Imaging, and would also mitigate the downsides of switching to a Composite Internal Structure (which in turn would save enough space to slap on some TSM. Yum!) And don't forget to look into the Actuator Enhancement System and Small Cockpit for more experimental variants.
Also of funny note: The HAG-series basically makes the LB-20X and Ultra AC/20 completely obsolete (if you want to go that route), even for the Clan model. The only downside is the fact Gauss weapons explode, but CASE II should more than make up for that.

The rotary 20 is not tournament legal. And with the way things seem to go, won't be.
The 20 style acs are obsolete with the normal gauss rifle. Range, heat, number of shots makes it superior to the 20 in every way. The ultras might fire twice as fast, but it is unlike anyone will get in range if they know you got it. The gauss has very few weapons that outdistance it. The HAG just add insult to injury.
The erppc to pulse must mean using the clan versions as the IS ones are not worth even looking at for the pulse. Again, range tends to keep it in the unused pile.

Re-read my post, I said that a tournament legal variant would exchange the Rotary 20's for something else.
Also, this mech is already using Clan tech.

...No it doesn't.

Compared to an ammo explosion?

Both the LB-X AC and UAC/20 are better at urban combat, cluster ammo is more accurate than HAG ammo except against airborne targets where they're the same, and the LB-X autocannon can produce much more hits for destroying motive systems or rotors than even the largest HAGs. ACs in general are more common than HAGs in every era.
