Hello hello!

I don't have in-depth knowledge of the setting yet, so I only have a general idea of the role I want - crowd control/disruption.

I visualise in my mind's eye a mech with a shield and a weapon that functions similarly to an omnitool from the ME series - a gun that shoots energy grenades with various effects (slow/blind/stun/overheat) and can turn into a melee weapon that can disable a mech from close range. The mech itself will be pretty normal other than particular resistance to the above effects.

Does this make sense with the setting in any way?
