Based on the BSW-S2, the MechCommander version sports our first instance of the Expansion Pack's weapons – the LBX Autocannon. This setup allows for the Bushwhacker to take apart enemies at both long and short range with the dispersal pattern on the LBX complimenting the LRM damage and SRMs.
It's also a sweet ride if MW3 is anything to go by, and a personal favorite of mine.
The -A may have gone a bit overboard on the Ammo for the LBX, but the opportunity to play with it like this is too good to pass up. With maximal armor, CASE to protect all the ammo, and amazing damage out to long range just makes this a good Mech that punches well in its weight class.
