On the tabletop, the Summoner is a longer-ranged Mech capable of delivering punishing blows with its ERPPC and LRM 15, followed up at medium range with an LB-X AC/10. This is odd as the MechCommander version is kitted out for close range combat, similar enough to the Alt. Config. C.
The only problems I have with the following TRO's is the Heat. 12 Double HeatSinks cannot properly handle the heavy load of all the Lasers, and as such, caution must be used when deploying these variants.
The -A 10t of FerroFibrous armor give it plenty of protection from all sides, and I debated between the Light Active Probe and another 0.5t of armor, but came down on the side of the LAP. If this is a close range Mech, detecting them faster will be an asset.
