I haven't drawn this in over 2 years, and haven't done a decent version of it since before I started working digitally, it's just such a beast to draw :D

Shimmering Sword, SMR06 Behemoth experimental mech (named after the bright particle lances fired from it's arms).
Drop this into any battlefield with relatively level terrain and it will create an area denial zone with weapons you'd expect to find on naval ships.
-2 Howitzer type guns provide beyond line of sight strike capability, using guided munitions for accuracy.
-Arm mounted Ion Accelerators will slice anything in half that comes into direct visual (or hides behind less than a hillside)
-4 laser turrets and a central missile system provide medium range defense against ground and air aggressors.
Massive cooling systems on the mechs back fight against the heat buildup caused by running the numerous energy weapons, large reactor, and an energy shielding system. The high proportion of energy weapons also leaves it weak against opposing shielded targets. The SMR doesn't deploy without escort though.

Haha, I didn't know it was all the way up there, pretty funny. That's the power of using keywords and tagging though, I simply used the word "sword" more times in more places :)

Nice, one problem though, there is no weapon to cover the rear arc, so an attack from behind would be crippling...
Also i would guess mobility would be a major problem, considering you've armoured up the legs too much. Armour the legs too much, mobility drops, not enough and the mechanisms become prone to small arms fire and fouling from nature. Prefarably the legs would be armoured up, but the joints would only be covered in a skin-like membrane, that protects from small arms fire and fouling, so thereby you have decent armour on the legs while keeping mobility up
