Omnimechs

Writing this down so I don't forget because I think it's an interesting idea.
I've always struggled with how to make Omnimechs work in MCL. Finally it dawned on me: A Mechbay upgrade that lets you swap Omnimech configurations! Not actual customization, but simply transforming one Mech into another; load an Omnimech into the Bay, see an "Omnimech" button, and it opens a buildmenu with all available alternate configurations of that Mech.
This would obviously benefit Clans much more than IS, but IS do have a couple Omnimechs around, and not all Clan mechs are Omni. But it would definitely be a unique characteristic of Clans, and almost a counter to them not getting Perks.
EDIT: Flozi said yes, so we'll do it.
