battlemech render

I've got the art- this is the first render- of a new ḿech. The idea is yet another IS attempt to emulate the iconic clan heavy omnimechs. Mixing elements of the Loki, Thor, and Nova Cat the Dark Age mech does show how far the IS has advanced technologically.

No official name (although I'm leaning toward HN-001 Hyena ) nor fluff, but I do have some initial stats:

Hyena HN-001
IS TW non-box set
65 tons
BV: 1,535
Cost: 15,177,250 C-bills

Movement: 5/8
Engine: 325 XL
Heat Sinks: 10 [20]
Gyro: XL Gyro

Internal: 104 (Reinforced)
Armor: 208/211 (Heavy Ferro-Fibrous)
                     Internal    Armor
--------------------------------------

Center Torso (rear)                  9
Right Torso                15       24
Right Torso (rear)                   6
Left Torso                 15       24
Left Torso (rear)                    6
Right Arm                  10       20

Right Leg                  15       30
Left Leg                   15       30

Weapon                         Loc Heat
----------------------------------------
Snub-Nose PPC                   RA    10

SRM 4                           LT     3
SRM 4                           HD     3
SRM 4                           RT     3

Rotary AC/2 Ammo                LA    45
SRM 4 Ammo                      LT    25
SRM 4 Inferno Ammo              LT    25

Equipment                      Loc
----------------------------------
Reinforced                     None
CASE                            LT

How would you stat this ḿech based on the art?

Or 4 Machine Guns together?

I have a problem with the arms: they seem much more fragile than the rest of your 'Mech.

Look at the original Loki, MadCat, or Marauder: all of them have spindly gunpods for arms. You might say that the IS copied the clan mech to the letter

Here's another possibility for the stats. This keeps the same weapon array, but on a faster, lighter, albeit flimsier chassis
