I could see this being used by House Kurita as a counter to 'mechs like the Wolfhound when it becomes apparent that the Panther lacks the agility to do so on an open field, while having more range than a Jenner and more armor and firepower than a Cicada or Clint, with which it shares its tonnage bracket and (in the case of the Clint) movement profile.

C3 Computer [Slave] CT
A Clan Invasion-era refit. Small Laser upgraded to a pulse version, then a second one was added, and both were allocated to the arms, allowing a better arc of fire and due to their rapid fire nature, more defense against conventional infantry. PPC upgraded to an ER version, meaning that this 'Mech will have trouble if it jumps and shoots immediately after, but with the accuracy problems inherent to shooting and jumping, it's unlikely that a reasonably skilled pilot would consider doing so in most circumstances if possible. A C3 slave rounds off the overall Kuritan feel of the 'Mech and allows improved coordination between lancemates. A lance of three Lightning Bug -2K's with a C3 Master-bearing 'Mech for support could be quite annoying to deal with!

A similar build for the Jihad era, swapping range and some armor for the raw firepower of a Heavy PPC, supported by the same two small pulse lasers as the -2K, retaining the C3 Slave. It wouldn't be out of the question to swap the C3 Slave for a Capacitor on the Heavy PPC, but that would require taking it up to the Experimental tech level.
