I managed to find some books on the tabletop version of Battletech. In it, you can make your own mechs... from scratch. I ended up trying my hand at it, just to see what I could make...
With the biggest engine it can handle, and the most armor it can mount according to standard rules, it still has 29.5 tons free.
This is what I visualize it to look like.
Since I've been taking a 3D modeling class, I figured this would be a good test. This is the result, a hybrid of a Cauldron-Born (Cockpit shape, Arms), Deimos (Most of the body shape, back missile racks, and legs), and a Vulture (Left and Right torso missile racks).
My attempts at texturing and animating this have failed so far V_V.

As much podspace as a thor...
The arm barrels have a distinct PPC/Autocannon look to them.
This loadout looks about right:
2 ER PPCs
2 Streak SRM6 with a ton of ammo each
2 LRM-15s with a ton each
either an ER Small Laser or a pair or ER Micro Lasers.
Or for a more Crusader Clans feel:
2 Heavy Large Lasers
2 LRM20 with 2 tons ammo each
2 Heavy Medium lasers
2 SRM4 sharing 1 ton of ammo
3 Heavy Machine Guns sharing 1 ton of ammo
I prefer the ER PPCs myself, but i'm a PPC-snob lol.
Random theorization aside it's a very good looking chassis; I almost mistook it for an incomplete Fafnir until I read the description.

... and Thor's are deadly too.
It's not visible, but I had modeled up a triple barrel cannon arm for Autocannon usage (RAC, UAC, or LAC) based around the arms on the Deimos. The arms on there are from the Cauldron-Born (Which mounts PPC's by default).
I haven't thought about the armaments to much... but I do like the mix you presented, even though I'm not much of a PPC person. To an extent, I'm more of a rapid fire person.
