The advantage of a mecha rifle is that it can be swapped out in next to no time if the original rifle is ineffective.

Motorgolems are general classification of mechs in Iclamia. Rooted from the idea is advanced fire-support platform in order to support regular infantries and tank units, where in places they can’t go in. They’re part of national reformation programs to enhance military capabilities. Motorgolems are huge and tall robots are used primarily by military forces in Iclamia, most especially by Minroz, Xoraine and Omaska. Mogol is the short term for Motorgolems.(Image)

RK-92-in-action
Height: 8.1 meters
Weight: 12.5 tons
Top Speed: 130 km/h
Operational Duration: 230 hours
Power Source: Gas turbine engine
Standard Armaments: 14.5mm machine gun (x2 head mount), Longdai BK-540 37mm Rifle
The RK-92 Yěmán (野蛮) ‘Savage’ is a mass produced Mogol from the Minrozian World Empire. It is the most ubiquitous mech amongst modern Iclamian nations and has also seen use by terrorist and crime organizations. The Savage has less armour than many Xoran and Omaska Mogols, but makes up with increased manoeuvrability. The earlier RK-91 model housed a diesel piston engine, the newer Rk-92 has adopted the gas turbine engine. The best features of the Savage are without a doubt its low cost and high availability relative to other Iclamian mechs. It’s quite a versatile mech and noted for their high reliability including able to withstand severe environmental conditions. The Savage models are continued to be employed as a Frontline Minrozian Army unit, alongside T-39 Baghaturs.
You say it's meant to go places regular infantry and tanks cannot. At 8.1m tall, I honestly can't think of anywhere that this could fit where an infantryman could not.

Only if you've actually got the alternative weapon handy: Okay, so if you're going to carry the alternative along anyway, why not just install both of them into the mech itself?

It's no-more nuts than the idea of a mech itself, although I'd question the use of rolling while on the battlefield; apart from the problems with manoeuvring and staying upright, you'll make your pilot sick. Using it as a way of getting through the atmosphere and surviving impact would be cool though. I'd still recommend using some sort of parachute/retro rockets to slow your descent though.

I would think about possibly shortening the legs. Right now the ground clearance makes me think it would be too easy to sneak a rocket up in there. Another idea would be to have the leg joints hidden behind the armour as much as possible, since they're going to be your weakest spot.
EDIT: I wonder how feasible a wheeled version of this might be as well. Mind if I attempt to make a few tweaks for research purposes?

Basic armament consists of a rifle (modified from BK-27) and two Anti-tank Guided Missiles. Smoke-grenade and chaff launchers are also developed, but have yet to be fitted, as well as a SAW.

Note: Hyserea is MT, so it actually does not use these. Maybe an FT/AU/really-far-PMT would.

Couldn't you use an AI to do the jobs of the gunners,leaving more space for armor , ammo or weapons?
