Some lesser BattleMechs might keep the peace. This absolute unit of an IndustrialMech makes the peace.

Sporting not one but two SRM racks and a machine gun (for lethal and nonlethal solutions) it has the intimidating firepower to suppress the block of your choice. Should any opposition present itself, a BattleMech Taser will disable it for proper suppression and apprehension. When you must make the peace, accept no substitute!

Painted for an upcoming event in Silver Hawk Irregulars colors. The SRM rack was a random pull for the bit box pile. As we do not have any Taser IWM Mechs yet to the best of my knowledge (Taser/Chain Whip Trebuchet someday, please?) I used a Gyrfalcon TSEMP.

A glorious fighting machine marches onward for the Irregulars.

This was my first go at converting it, just in time for an upcoming event (someday I will figure out why FWL Marik-Stewart gets this in Early Republic along with the FedSuns and the CapCon/MoC alliance, after it was FedSuns unique for two eras). The UM-70 uses a RAC/5 and an ER Medium Laser in addition to the traditional Small Laser. I removed most of the stock AC/10 to add the most RAC looking bit I could find laying around and added a laser from an IWM accessory sprue for the torso Medium.

I decided to try and do some reposing as well but was limited by deciding that after I did the rest of the conversion. I was still able to rotate the torso and lift up one arm to get that scanning the sky effect.
