It was originally going to be a field *repair* 'mech, but the BattleTech Discord ripped my design a new one until we arrived at this.
A pair of these guys can grab a damaged Atlas, and haul back to your dropship. The Supercharger helps them get out of dodge faster, but it does contribute about 2 million C-Bills to the total cost. So you can feel free to remove it.
Hmm... needs a name.

Tell the discord... Well, I can't type that and get away with it.
I would think there should be something to co-ordinate the units when needing to work in tandem to move something. Otherwise, you could very well separate them with missteps. Might suggest a deployable trailer, so they can move the larger units by themselves. This should help avoid two pilots making different decisions when moving. Much like the hook and ladder trucks having a second steering mechanism in the rear of the fire truck.
Would also suggest making it a quad, but that might cut into what is already figured.
For a name, that requires a little more thought.
Maybe Recovery Mech would work, as they have the recovery vehicles.
Maybe Joe's Towing Service.
We Haul All?
Mech Recycling Services?
Does it have to be a mech owned by the person looking to have it moved?

The concept isn't a bad one, given that the idea would be there. It's a recovery vehicle; it goes out and brings in broken-down mechs. Or gets mechs that are stuck unstuck. Similar to what the M88 Hercules does for tanks or a host of identical recovery vehicles do.
Why a bunch of folks on Discord tore it apart no idea, but as a guy who was in the military and worked around and with armor and other vehicles, having recovery units is a must. Also, a repair crew aka mechanics are who go out with the vehicle, and they don't go alone so they would have a team. So yeah repairs could be done on the spot for minor stuff.

Given time and plenty of paper, a philosopher can prove anything.
