Interesting idea.

Will you try to do all the 3 Classical 55 tons 'Mechs?

Hm.  My AU's ELMs have one that deliberately mimics a MadCat.  Tempting +1

Neat. Out of curiosity, with a ProtoMech AC/2, you gain a ton, which is enough to increase base speed to 5/8.  If you drop a jump jet, you can add 3 points of armor, too (it's not enough mass for another missile tube), or more LRM ammo.

Glad you like it.  As an experiment it was an interesting one

If I do another "mini" class I think I'd do a Phoenix Hawk which would be the faster variant

I like the mini-Hawk, i'd keep it as it is, the extra speed is nice but for a proto its fine and really, you want this thing to be able to actually hurt something, a PAC-2 is not going to do that, a PAC-4 is at least noticable rather than door dinging someone.  if there was a Phoenix-Lite then that would be the faster jumpy one, chemical lasers ahoy.
