Well, they can at least harass the infantry. This thing can't do even that well. It can do some running, but that's about it. 1V Locust is far more useful.

It's also pretty darned cheap! That's always a plus for cost conscious units.

It would be just a scout with some self-defence lasers. I would prefer a medium laser instead of two of the smalls but this as it is will not encourage the pilot to look for a fight

Tank Commander "Gunner Target 4o'clock!"
Gunner "Roger Target 4o'clock! Load SABOT!"
Loader "SABOT loaded!"
TC "Engage Target!"
Gunner "Engaging Target time now!"
TC "Fire!"
And the poor Flea goes nova as the AC20 round from a Hetzer slammed into it.

So is the Locust, but the Locust also has triple the reach and a capacity to remove infantry if it has to. If it used only a 0.5 ton ammo bin it would also match the armour coverage, although third MG instead of those three points would be far more useful. If you are affraid of ammo explosion you could go for a single flamer instead and keep the ML to prevent the 'Mech from having to close on the target and you can kick the speed up to 9/14. It does two less points of damage, but has more utility. Small lasers are just bad most of the time.

I still prefer to defend myself with something rather than being encouraged to go suicidaly close to touch the enemy if cornered.

A light mech in range of an AC/20 has made something wrong anyway.

Well, it's not always an AC/20 that you have to deal with. Sometimes it's a Spider or a bunch of Savanah Masters on a prowl. Heck even a SRM turret around the objective. And even with an AC/20 you had better fought it from 6-9 hexes where you'll be protected by the movement modifiers rather than having to close in 3 hexes where the odds are far less favourable.
