Was this built with MaxTech's drone rules, or did you just remove the crew?
That's an interesting urban combatant alright. It should reduce friendly casualties. Of course, it might also burn down the city, but what're you gonna do, right?

This thing becomes all the more lethal when I look at the cost for the whole deal. I don't know if the Clans care all that much about cutting down human casualties, though.
EDIT: I'll tell you a secret, cowboy: SRMs are the types of weapons where having a big one is always bigger than having many small ones. Since they're all turret-mounted anyways, I would just use one SRM-6 to save a bit of trouble. The savings of an SRM-6 over three SRM-2 is two less heat, and with a 'mech, one less crit as well. If you want to keep all the SRMs (which prolly means either two SRM-4s or an SRM-6 and an SRM-2) then you may want to think about dropping one Flamer, since the ammunition is already supposed to include Infernos.
Lousy good-for-nothing mortals. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

That is a point I overlooked. I have trouble seeing the Clans deploy combat drones. The Clans use live ammo in training; cutting down in casualties is not their greatest interest.
But the Inner Sphere would eat something like this up.
Cowboy, if you do switch to MaxTech drone rules, you might want to think about adding ECM to protect the remote link. Juggling the weapons load out to free up those 4 extra SHS would probably enable the Clan-to-IS conversion.
